Summary

Republicans in Wisconsin are pushing for bills that would make it a crime to be naked in public for any reason and for children to attend events where people are not wearing clothes, sparked by a child's participation in a naked bike ride. The proposed bills have faced criticism over potentially restricting artistic expression and political protests, and still have a long way to go before becoming law.
