Senate Finance Committee to Amend Assembly COVID Relief Bill

The Senate Finance Committee meets today to amend the Assembly’s COVID-19 bill.
The committee will first have a public hearing at 11 a.m. before moving to an executive session.
The Senate expects to be in tomorrow to approve the revised legislation. The same version of the bill has to pass both houses before it could go to the Gov. Tony Evers’ desk.
On “UPFRONT” this weekend, State Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, expressed hope the Senate would pass a COVID-19 bill that Dem Gov. Tony Evers would sign.
“We feel that we’re really close,” he said.
LeMahieu said he continues to work with Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, and called the Assembly’s COVID-19 bill “a good bill.”
“But what we’re looking to do in the Senate is find a bill, and this is our goal all along, that we’re confident the governor will sign, so that that way we can get that bill done for the state of Wisconsin,” he said.
