Wisconsin State Assembly Passes Four Bills Authored By Rep. Oldenburg

MADISON – Representative Loren Oldenburg (R-Viroqua) released the following statement on the recent floor session in the State Assembly:

“I am excited to see that legislation I’ve authored, Senate Bill 67 & Senate Bill 687, passed the State Assembly concurred in. Both of these bills have already passed the State Senate and I look forward to the Governor signing them into law” stated Rep. Oldenburg. “Defining decommissioning & ensuring that phase-out utility aid is fairly paid is an important legislative fix our municipalities and utilities need. Senate Bill 67 is a practical piece of legislation that is supported by local units of government, utilities and electric cooperatives.”

“Senate Bill 687 provides uniformity following the merger of Crossroads College and the Wisconsin Christian Missionary Association. If the Church of Christs ever dissolves its assets have a place to go. I’m excited to help our local religious organizations.”

Assembly Bill 419 and Assembly Bill 779 both passed the State Assembly and head to the State Senate today. “Assembly Bill 419 establishes a free carbon calculator. This uniform credit calculation method makes it easier for farmers to engage in new marketplaces, and increase reliability and transparency of these credits on the free market.”

“Assembly Bill 779 will allow students to receive proper credit for their efforts while also removing barriers and accelerating the pipeline of individuals into trades. This proposal creates a tax credit for youth apprentices and focuses on lowering the costs of getting people into trades and clearing pathways for people interested in these careers.” Said Rep Oldenburg
