MADISON, WI – (Wisconsin Radio Network) – A safety bill for roadside workers has been introduced in the Wisconsin Assembly. Republican state Representative Amy Loudenbeck of Clinton says her legislation includes enhanced penalties, but it is also focused on prevention. It would take a lot of the safety precautions for roadside construction workers and apply them to roadside emergency responders. A Triple-A spokesperson notes that two people were killed in just the month of July while doing their dangerous jobs on the side of the road. Loudenbeck’s bill got bipartisan support in the Assembly and she says she hopes it will be voted on in the Wisconsin Senate later this month.
