Radical changes sought in state sex crime laws
Wisconsin Senator William Bablitch proposes broadening sex crime laws to cover non-consensual acts as sexual assault. The plan would create degrees of sexual assault, limit past sexual conduct as admissible testimony, and reduce penalties to a maximum of 10 years plus fine. He argues reforms reflect societal changes and reduce trauma to victims.

Disaster warning system planned for FM radios
Washington officials propose a federal system to broadcast warnings of nuclear attack, hurricanes, tornadoes and other disasters on FM radio frequencies 162.40 and 162.55. The plan relies on an adapter for current home radios, though new sets may include it, and uses a lone alert beep to activate the receiver. The plan will supplement sirens and local broadcasts as most people still lack compatible radios.
