Wisconsin lawmaker reintroduces bill to make English state's official language Aug 27th 2013, 11:14 Published August 27, 2013 Associated Press A Republican lawmaker has reintroduced a bill that would make English Wisconsin's official language. Rep. Andre Jacque's proposal also would require of state and local government to put their documents in English. The measure does allow exceptions in individual cases, however. It also prohibits the government from blocking anyone's efforts to learn a foreign language. The measure mirrors a proposal former state Rep. Marlin Schneider, a Wisconsin Rapids Democrat, introduced in 2009. That bill never received a hearing. The fate of Jacque's measure is uncertain.

A spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos also didn't immediately return a message.
