Wisconsin Assembly approves public safety bills for Milwaukee

The Wisconsin Assembly passed new public safety bills focused on Milwaukee, addressing reckless driving and school police. A bill allowing police to impound vehicles used in reckless driving passed unanimously, expanding previous laws. Another bill, passed along party lines, mandates Milwaukee to have at least 25 school resource officers. If not implemented within 30 days, the city and school district could face funding penalties. A judge previously ordered them to split costs for the officers. The new reckless driving bill allows police to impound any vehicle involved in such offenses, regardless of ownership. Both bills require Senate approval and the governor's signature to become law.
