Representative Shelia Stubbs Celebrates Signing of Assembly Bills 94, 95, 96, and 99 and Senate Bill 68

MADISON, WI –Today, Governor Evers signed into law Assembly Bill 94, Assembly Bill 95, Assembly Bill 96, Assembly Bill 99, and Senate Bill 68, which respectively ratify agreements between the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee and the State of Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, authorize tribal governments to copy certified copies of vital records for administrative use, and continue the prescription drug monitoring program until 2030. Representative Shelia Stubbs (D-Madison) released the following statement:

“It was an honor to join Governor Evers as he signed Assembly Bill 94, Assembly Bill 95, Assembly Bill 96, Assembly Bill 99, and Senate Bill 68 into law this morning.

I was proud to coauthor all these bills and support their passage through the Assembly. Assembly Bill 94, Assembly Bill 95, and Assembly Bill 96 ratify agreements negotiated between the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee and the State of Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and the University of Wisconsin System, as well as covering employees in the building trades crafts collective bargaining unit and authorizing an expenditure of funds. These agreements ensure continued collaboration with the building trades, whose craftspeople and labor forces are the backbone of many critical infrastructure projects across our state.

Assembly Bill 99 adds tribal governments to the list of entities that are authorized to copy certified copies of vital records for administrative use. Ensuring that tribal governments have parity with other governments regarding copying and maintaining vital records empowers them to more easily resolve administrative matters, especially regarding concerns of fraud, and reduce unnecessary financial burdens associated with copying costs.
Senate Bill 68 extends the sunset on the Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, a vital tool that combats prescription drug abuse by maintaining data from healthcare professionals on the number of prescriptions dispensed throughout the state and from law enforcement on overdoses, stolen prescriptions, and violations of the Controlled Substance Act.

These bills make our state a safer, more equitable, more prosperous place, and I am proud to support their enactment into law.”
