Lawmakers Look at License Changes

Wisconsin lawmakers are inching closer to maybe changing the rules for work licenses in the state.

An Assembly panel yesterday held a hearing on a series of plans that would first study the occupational licensing system in the state, then look to streamline it. Republican state Rep. Shae Sortwell continues to be upset at the delays and lack of answers from Wisconsin’s Department of Safety and Professional Services. DSPS officials said last fall it’s taking up to two-and-a-half months for some people to get the license from the state.

Sortwell says Wisconsin needs to streamline the process to help get people back to work, and to attract new workers to the state.
