Legislator Proposes Eliminating Licensing Of Wisconsin Bakeries
June 13, 2017 | 1 min to read
Less than a week after Wisconsin’s ban on selling home-baked goods was ruled unconstitutional, one legislative leader wants to do away with all licensing of bakeries.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, is circulating the Bakery Freedom Act for co-sponsorship. The bill would eliminate requirements for commercial bakeries to obtain a license and undergo health safety inspections.
In a co-sponsorship memo, Vos said the bill would "level the playing field" after a Lafayette County judge ruled last week that Wisconsin's laws preventing the sale of homemade baked goods were unconstitutional.
