Second Quarter Report, 2009:
The Wisconsin Legislature is again considering Bills that would require PFD wear for Children 12 years old and Younger. This legislation mirrors Federal legislation except it does not apply to vessels 26 feet or longer. Identical Bills have been introduced in the Senate (SB 162) and the Assembly (AB 219). SB 162 was recommended for passage by the Committee on Transportation, Tourism, Forestry, and Natural Resources on a vote of 5 to 2. The Bill has not yet been scheduled for a vote by the Senate. The Assembly Version of the Bill, AB 219, was referred to The Committee on Tourism, Recreation, and State Properties, and has not been scheduled for a hearing to date.
I, the WI state liaison, received permission to testify, in uniform, on both Bills, and testified during the hearing on SB 162, and will testify during the hearing on AB 219 when it is scheduled.
