Governor Evers has signed eight bills into law and vetoed a proposal to expand a child care tax credit.
One measure extends the state’s safe haven law, allowing parents to anonymously surrender a newborn up to 30 days after birth. Evers also approved legislation increasing penalties for trafficking carfentanil. The governor rejected a bill expanding the Business Development Tax Credit for employers helping cover child care costs. Evers says the proposal included a broad provision that could allow fraud and the state should pursue direct child care investments.
