MADISON, Wis. (AP) The Wisconsin Legislature moved Tuesday to kill limits on PFAS pollution and to allow therapists, counselors and social workers to continue to try to change gay and transgender people s sexual orientation.
The Senate and Assembly both took up a bill blocking a state Department of Safety and Professional Standards rule that would have prohibited so-called conversion therapy. Both chambers placed the bill in committee, avoiding a veto from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers but effectively blocking the rule for the rest of the Legislature s two-year session.
