State senators have passed a bill aimed at preventing a backlog of sexual assault kits in Wisconsin, a move that comes about a year after a similar effort failed in the Legislature.
The proposal was one of several Senators passed Tuesday on a wide range of topics, from a requirement that schools teach students about the Holocaust to a new rule that could affect how judges handle child custody cases.
The bill on sexual assault kits, often called “rape kits,” is identical to the one that passed the Senate on a voice vote a year ago only to get hung up in the Assembly, where Republicans insisted on changes.
