An Eastern Wisconsin Senator’s bill aimed at assisting military families has passed a Senate vote.
Sen. Andre Jacque, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources, Veteran and Military Affairs, penned the measure which would give military parents better access to more education options for their children by extending deadlines for open enrollment applications across Wisconsin school districts.
Wisconsin is currently home to over 15,000 children of active duty and National Guard and Reserve members, and Sen. Jacque tells SeehaferNews.com, “This increased flexibility for military parents is one more thing we can do to make Wisconsin the best state in the union for our military members.”
The legislation known as Senate Bill 134 passed the committee on a unanimous 5-0 vote, and now must pass in the full Senate and Assembly before going to Governor Tony Evers’ desk.
