The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the governor must obtain the consent of the Legislature before issuing restrictions on the number of people eating in restaurants and bars.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on the 14th that Governor Evers (Tony Evers, Democrat) does not have the authority to restrict the capacity of restaurants, bars and other businesses without the consent of the state legislature, which is also a conservative-held Supreme Court, following the rejection of the governor’s muzzle mandate two weeks ago, another case to overturn the governor’s authority.
Last year, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Evers had to obtain the consent of the Republican-dominated Legislature to declare the closure of businesses during the epidemic period to implement the epidemic, so no statewide order on store and restaurant capacity has been implemented in Wisconsin since last October. Ivers has attempted to issue an order that no more than 25% of the number of people can be accommodated indoors, but the order was blocked by the state’s appellate court, resulting in the order being intermittently affected and not really implemented.
The state’s Supreme Court voted 4-3 on the 14th, ruling that the governor must first pass the legislature if he requires businesses and restaurants to implement passenger capacity restrictions.
Misha Tseytlin, an attorney representing a bar, Mix-Up Bar, who filed a lawsuit against the government, wrote to the governor and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul that limiting the number of indoor parties is an attempt to destroy all businesses, adding that the Supreme Court’s ruling shows that small bars like the one he represents can stand up to powerful governors and attorneys general, and The law was upheld.
