Bill Summary
Relating to: convening additional senate floor periods to address affordability for Wisconsin.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution calls for the Wisconsin Senate to hold additional floor sessions to address rising costs and affordability issues for the state's residents. The resolution highlights concerns such as increased tariffs on imports and retaliatory tariffs on exports impacting Wisconsin businesses, higher gasoline prices due to international events, changes to healthcare subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, the impending expiration of child care assistance, and the rising costs of utilities and groceries for seniors and farmers. It also points to a perceived lack of action by the majority party in the Senate to consider bills introduced by the minority party that could potentially lower costs for Wisconsinites, noting that the Senate is scheduled to adjourn and not reconvene until January 2027, with a historically low number of bills expected to become law.
