MADISON – Today, State Representative Dora Drake (D-11th Assembly District) attended the signing of 5 different bills she co-authored to improve the lives of working families throughout Wisconsin. The new laws were the result of a strong bipartisan effort within the legislature, making these bills a triumph for Wisconsinites now, and in the future. The bills are as follows:

  • Assembly Bill 109 – Requiring one-half credit of personal financial literacy for high school graduation.
  • Assembly Bill 133 – Farmland preservation agreements and tax credits.
  • Assembly Bill 394 – Requires the Department of Transportation to establish a driver education grant program.
