Wisconsin senators have voted to prevent the governor and local officials from seizing people’s guns in a state of emergency.
It happened in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. While emergency gun seizures have never happened in Wisconsin, senators voted 26-5 Thursday to make sure they don’t.The bill now goes to the governor.
Spokeswoman Jessica Erickson says Jim Doyle must review the measure before deciding if he’ll sign it. But if he doesn’t, Sen. Glenn Grothman, West Bend, says there’s plenty of support in both houses to override a veto.
Also Thursday, the Senate gave final legislative approval to making hospitals provide emergency contraception to rape victims who ask for it. The vote was 25-6.
Both houses approved the bill earlier, but the Senate had to ratify a minor change made by the Assembly. The contraception mandate now goes to Gov. Doyle, who says he’ll sign it.
The Senate also voted to raise the fee for snowmobile trail stickers from $18 to $35 for out-of-staters. Wisconsinites pay no such fee.
