The Wisconsin Assembly approved a bill by 62 41 to license professional fund raisers and limit their earnings for charitable appeals amid debate. The measure targets fundraising for charitable causes and would not involve religious or educational groups, while opponents warn it could affect religious and private school funding. The chamber also advanced funding for Menominee reservation law enforcement after federal control ends, and approved extended tavern hours in summer resort areas. A constitutional amendment to extend governor and other statewide offices terms to four years was introduced but previously failed to gain support. The Assembly adjourned to 8:30 Wednesday, the earliest since 1955.
