MADISON, Wis . (AP) — A proposal to regulate wedding barns in Wisconsin as part of an overhaul of the state’s liquor laws won bipartisan support, advancing as the Republican-controlled Legislature moves swiftly to enact the sweeping bill. An Assembly committee voted Thursday 12-2 to pass the measure just two days after a public hearing at which owners of wedding barns across the state said the proposed changes would put them out of business. The bill, which has been years in the making, affects every level of the state’s alcohol industry — governing the licensing, producing, selling and distribution of beer, wine and liquor.
