There will be no hearing tomorrow (August 26th) on wake boat legislation.
According to the Coalition to Protect Wisconsin Lakes & Rivers, the Assembly Committee on Forestry, Parks and Outdoor Recreation will meet, but only on other unrelated bills. Had the Assembly sponsor, and the water sports industry, wanted to push a wake boat bill, they would have had to publicly notice it by noon today—which did not happen.
This is a major win. Your readiness to show up made them hesitate, and no bill will be heard tomorrow. Thank you for standing ready—we are proving our strength together.
Looking Ahead:
- Stay alert: a bill could still appear with just 24 hours’ notice.
- Watch your email and social media—we’ll notify you immediately if a bad bill drops.
- If a hearing is scheduled in Madison, we’ll provide full details and calls to action.
For now, take a breath and celebrate this victory. Tomorrow is a win—but the fight isn’t over.
