AARP Wisconsin

Thank you, @RepMarkPocan, for your work to provide 1,085,000 Wisconsin family caregivers with much-needed financial relief.

@RepSnyder85 @SenJesseJames This is a great win for consumer protection in Wisconsin, and our staff & volunteers were thrilled to join a room full of advocates at the bill signing event.

Gov. Evers signed crypto kiosk consumer protections into law on Wednesday! This important bill, authored by @RepSnyder85, Rep. Steve Doyle, and @SenJesseJames, limits daily transactions to $1,000 and allows scam victims to receive refunds if they report the crime within 30 days.

Last night, the WI Senate voted unanimously to pass AB968. Thank you to the bill author, @SenJesseJames , for your strong leadership on this issue. We’re thrilled our lawmakers acted to curb these scams!
