Wisconsin citizens would be free to worship and not subject to forced vaccination under legislation passed this afternoon by the full State Senate.
The proposals, Senate Bills 4 and 7, were overwhelmingly supported by citizens at a public hearing last month.
State Sen. André Jacque of De Pere, the author of the measures, said citizens have a fundamental right to expect that their Constitutionally-protected freedoms will be respected by officials at all levels of government.
Jacque said the bills, “help ensure that government officials cannot use COVID-19 as an excuse to grab power at the expense of our liberties.”
The bills were also included as items within the COVID relief measure recently vetoed by Governor Evers.
