Summary
Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin are proposing bills to change how police prosecute public displays of nudity and the taking of photos of nude children. These bills have gained the support of about 20 Republicans but no Democrats, and are in response to a girl's participation in a World Naked Bike Ride event. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said that it's probably not a good idea for children to participate in the event and would take a look at the proposals.
