The Wisconsin State Legislature calendar does not have anything scheduled, but state Senator Andre Jacque hopes his colleagues can tie up some loose ends related to COVID-19. Speaking earlier this month after the Wisconsin State Supreme Court made its decision regarding the Safer at Home Order, Jacque cited concerns about unemployment claims and mental health as issues that need to be addressed moving forward. He said there is a lot that needs to be done to help out small businesses, local governments, and state industries like tourism.

Jacque said he has asked the Legislature to be in session to pass a number of regular session bills involving agriculture, worker training, and COVID-19 response. According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, thousands of unemployed workers are waiting for benefits after over 439,000 people lost jobs in the state during the month of April.
