A Republican-led effort to override a veto by Governor Tony Evers fell short Wednesday when Democrats who had voted for the proposal reversed their stance.
They voted against the override of legislation which would have made it easier to become a nurse’s aide.
Supporters of the measure argued lowering state standards for training hours needed from 120-to-75 would address a shortage.
Evers and his fellow Democrats said the training was needed to maintain proper care for vulnerable Wisconsin citizens.
