Gov. Tony Evers signed AB445 into law Feb. 5. The bill creates an exception to the state building code allowing for older churches built before 1919 to install a stairway chairlift with less requirements.

It was brought to the attention of Sen. Howard Marklein by Green County resident LaVerne Gordee. Pictured during the bill signing are, from left, Peter Hienz (Marklein staff), LaVerne Gordee, Marklein, David Johnson, Jake Wolf (Novak staff), Ben Karbowski (Novak staff) and Rep. Todd Novak.
