Eastern Wisconsin’s representative in the state senate had a great week last week as several of his bills were signed into law by Governor Tony Evers.
We reported on the PSYPACT bill yesterday, but also passed were Senator Andre Jacque’s measures aiming to help vulnerable adults.
The bill known as Investigating Adults-at-Risk Abuse makes mandatory the investigation of reports of abuse against at-risk adults between 18 and 59-years-old.
Also passed was the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Account Participation Act.
This law creates ABLE program in Wisconsin, which allows individuals classified with having a disability before age 26 to have a tax-exempt savings account set up in their name to cover certain expenses.
Sen. Jacque said of these measures, “The proposals further our mission to help ensure safe, fulfilling lives for the defenseless ones among us.”
