MADISON, Wisconsin — Democrat Gov. Tony Evers on Friday vetoed a bill that would have prohibited state and local health bureaucrats from shutting down Masses and other religious services due to COVID-19, just hours after the legislation passed the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature.

 

Assembly Bill 1 bounced back and forth between the Assembly and Senate since early January. The final version, which passed the Senate Friday on a party-line 19-11 vote, would prohibit state and local health officers from taking “any action to close or forbid gatherings in places of worship to control outbreaks and epidemics of COVID-19.” The bill also would have prohibited employers and state and local health departments from requiring that people receive a COVID vaccine, among a range of other COVID-related provisions.
