Since the start of the latest legislative session, Senator Andre Jacque has pushed several bills onto the floor and ended the first week back with a couple more.
He teamed up with Representative Shae Sortwell of Two Rivers to co-sponsor the Local Government Special Election Cost Relief Act, which requires the Elections Commission to reimburse counties and municipalities for certain costs incurred in the administration of special primaries and special elections for state office.
He also co-sponsored the Adoption Process Reform Act with Menomonie Falls Representative Janel Brandtjen. This bill provides a method by which a mother, father, or alleged or presumed father may disclaim his or her parental rights with respect to a child under the age of one who is not an Indian child in writing as an alternative to appearing in court to consent to the termination of his or her parental rights.
