Madison – Representative Shae Sortwell (R-Gibson) released the following statement regarding Wisconsin Assembly Democrats spreading misinformation on Assembly Bill 88:
“Democrat Representatives Clancy and Hysell released dishonest press releases spreading misinformation regarding Assembly Bill 88, also referred to as the riot bill, claiming that the chair of the Judiciary Committee pulled the bill from being voted on at the scheduled executive session today.”
“To be clear, the chair never pulled the bill because he has not officially scheduled a vote on it yet after receiving a hearing two weeks ago. I am in discussions with colleagues on the committee, which is standard practice for bill authors after a public hearing. I ask both Democrat representatives to brush up on legislative policy on how bills actually move.”
Representative Sortwell is available for comment.
