The Wisconsin Legislature is wrapping up its final day of the 2009-10 legislative session. The Senate adjourned earlier today, meaning that a number of high-profile bills officially died.

Most notably, the global warming legislation (the so-called “Clean Energy Jobs Act”) did not pass the Senate. The Assembly bill (AB 649) passed out of committee, but did not have enough votes to pass the Assembly. The Senate version (SB 450) never passed out of committee.

Another high-profile casualty was legislation (AB 282) to allow local governments to create regional transit authorities. 

The Senate amended the payday lending bill (SB 530), which now goes back to the Assembly for concurrence.  

Hamilton Consulting Group will soon provide a full legislative wrap-up.
