Legislative Updates

December 2024 - Current Legislative Update: 
This month, action is needed to ensure the reauthorization of Wisconsin’s Stewardship Program (KNSP). WPRA urges members to educate local leaders about KNSP projects and their community values. This effort follows a court ruling that weakened the program and Senate Republicans’ resistance to extending it under current policies. The Wisconsin Legislature will welcome 34 new members in January, with notable leadership changes in both parties across the Senate and Assembly. Advocacy remains vital as legislative dynamics shift with new representatives and caucus leadership appointments. Visit Knowles-Nelson coalition for resources.
