Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu
The State Senate passed a bill to address many previously agreed-upon provisions relating to COVID-19 relief efforts, which includes provisions of critical importance to hospitals, schools, non-profit organizations, churches, and residents.
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu of Oostburg commented on the passing of the bill, saying it, “responds to the needs of frontline healthcare providers and gives our state’s economy the tools to safely re-open without the fear of frivolous lawsuits.”
LeMahieu said that the Senate spoke with several service organizations from all parts of the political spectrum in order to pass a bill that “can deliver a win for our state as we work to govern responsibly during this time of turmoil.”
He went on to say that he and his colleagues will continue to work on re-opening schools, lifting gathering bans, and limiting the powers of local bureaucrats to shut down churches and main street businesses.
He said, “We remain committed to these principles and committed to ensuring our state’s best days lie ahead.”
