The legislative session may be over, but State Sen. Andre Jacque will still be making the commute between his New Franken home and Madison in the coming weeks.

Several of his bills were signed into law over the past two weeks as Gov. Tony Evers took pen to paper on more than 60 bills.

Measures establishing life in prison as the penalty for child traffickers, supporting victims and increasing penalties for crimes committed against “adults at risk,” extending post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) coverage to volunteer and part-time firefighters and other emergency first responders, and creating a way for Wisconsin farmers to generate income while reducing runoff pollution are among Jacque’s bills that are now law.

Jacque said he is proud the bills addressed real concerns in the community and were met with bipartisan support.

As proud as Jacque is of the bills signed into law by Evers, he was equally surprised by some of the bills that were vetoed.

In one example, Jacque said the veto of his “no tax on tips” legislation came after it was included in the Democratic governor’s version of the budget.

Despite not deciding whether he will run for reelection this fall, Jacque said he is working on more legislation that he hopes will be taken up next session.

If Jacque does decide to run again, he will face competition, as Sean Grorich, a Democrat, and Jacob VandenPlas, a Republican, have announced bids in recent months.
