MADISON – To delay a bill’s public hearing because there may be amendments later introduced is unnecessary, atypical, and entirely short-circuits the intended purpose of a public hearing. I value the input of my legislative colleagues as well as the members of the public, and any potential amendments should include feedback received during Thursday’s hearing. I’ve spoken with both Chairman Horlacher and Cowles, and Thursday’s public hearing on AB 547 and SB 600 will proceed as has been planned.
