"Wisconsin Senate expected to approve NFL police escort bill
Measure ending liabilities could pass today
By Ed Lowe • Post-Crescent staff writer • September 22, 2009

A bill allowing state police agencies to provide nonstop escorts to celebrities, dignitaries and visiting sports teams could become law within days, its lead Senate author said Monday.

The bill facing possible Senate approval today eliminates liability concerns raised in late 2006 in response to the police escorts of National Football League teams by the Outagamie and Brown county sheriff's departments.

State Sen. Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay, said he's not expecting a close contest when the Senate votes on the same bill passed unanimously by the Assembly in June.

In fact, he said he will be surprised if the vote to concur with the Assembly isn't unanimous.

"I'm not expecting a lot of debate," Hansen said.

If passed, the bill will head to Gov. Jim Doyle, who could sign the bill into law "almost immediately," Hansen said.
