The Joint Committee on Review of Administrative Rules voted along party lines to require Gov. Tony Evers to issue a capacity limit rule, a step that would then allow the panel to move to suspend it without action before the full Legislature, according to a story from Wisbusiness.com. The panel’s Democratic members criticized the move, calling it “political theater.”
Sen. Steve Nass, a Whitewater Republican who co-chairs the panel, stated the hearing was not about fighting COVID-19 but “whether government should go beyond the consent of the governed.” The vote requires the Evers administration to issue a capacity limit rule within 30 days.
