Hello! This week, two bills I authored were signed into law. Wisconsin Legislature: 2023 Wisconsin Act 78 permits electronic transmissions under employer-sponsored health insurance policies and plans. Wisconsin Legislature: 2023 Wisconsin Act 82 improves the practice of cerumen management and fitting and dealing in hearing aids. The Senate Committee on Universities and Revenue heard two bills I authored on campus free speech. The Senate Committee on Health also met this week to vote on important items, hold a hearing on several important bills, and find solutions for the long-term care workforce crisis.
My staff and I were also happy to meet with:
- Menasha Utilities Water Plant
- Involta
- WI Association for Home Health Care
- Ascension
- Wisconsin Hosptials Association
- Aurora Health
- BioSolids
- Zero Eyes
- Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association
Next week, the Senate Committee on Committee on Local Government will hear a bill I authored that would help municipalities create combined business improvement districts.

I’d also like to wish a Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!
