MADISON, Wis. (AP) Wisconsin lawmakers on Thursday were set to consider the first bills based on recommendations from a racial disparities task force that the Assembly s top Republican put together last year following George Floyd s death and a rash of police shootings across the country.
The Assembly s criminal justice committee was set to hold a public hearing on the proposals beginning Thursday morning. A number of police associations support the bills, but opponents say they would accomplish little. Black Leaders Organizing for Communities, a Milwaukee-based nonprofit that works to improve Black people s lives, planned a midday news conference to call for more substantial measures.

MADISON, Wis. – Attorney General
Josh Kaul is reminding schools, students, and families that the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of School Safety (OSS) has a resource for those in the school community that fear someone may harm themselves or others. Launched in September 2021, the SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT (SUSO) Resource Center has already helped save lives.
“DOJ’s free, 24/7 school safety tool has already started making a difference. For anyone concerned that a student might harm themselves or someone else, Speak Up, Speak Out can be a critical resource to assist in getting students the help they need,” said Attorney General Kaul.
