A proposal to regulate wedding barns in Wisconsin as part of an overhaul of the state's liquor laws won bipartisan support Thursday, advancing as the Republican-controlled Legislature moves swiftly to enact the sweeping bill.
An Assembly committee voted 12-2 to pass the measure just two days after a public hearing at which owners of wedding barns across the state said the proposed changes would put them out of business. The bill, which has been years in the making, was brought by Republican legislative leaders and agreed to by stakeholders with a wide array of interests. It affects every level of the state’s alcohol industry - governing the licensing, producing, selling and distribution of beer, wine and liquor.
Lawmakers on the Assembly’s state affairs committee on Thursday dismissed concerns brought by some wedding barn owners that the requirements were too onerous. The Legislature was expected to pass it on Wednesday, which would then send it to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. His spokesperson did not immediately return a message seeking comment on the measure. Evers’ administration was involved with the drafting of the bill.
