Senate Approves School Cellphone Ban
The Wisconsin State Senate met for a floor session for the first time in over 90 days, advancing bills that would ban cellphones in schools, require coverage of breast cancer screenings for women at high risk and allow candidates to remove themselves from ballots.
“All they do is critique process and complain about things,” Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu said of his Democratic colleagues. “But we’re getting bills done.”
Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein (D-Middleton) criticized the federal law approved over the summer that made cuts to the SNAP and Medicaid programs to help pay for tax cuts.
“We are feeling the effects of the big, ugly bill on our families, our farmers and our neighbors who need food assistance or who are covered by Medicaid,”
The Senate also passed a bill requiring insurance coverage of breast cancer screenings.
