“The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down Gov. Tony Evers’ coronavirus stay-at-home order Wednesday, ruling that his administration overstepped its authority when it extended it for another month without consulting legislators. The 4-3 ruling essentially reopens the state, lifting caps on the size of gatherings, allowing people to travel as they please and allowing shuttered businesses to reopen, including bars and restaurants.” (AP News)

The court ruled that the Health Secretary “broke the law when she issued [the stay-at-home order] after failing to follow emergency rule procedures required under [Wisconsin law] and [that] even if rulemaking were not required, [she] exceeded her authority by ordering everyone to stay home, closing all ‘non-essential’ businesses, prohibiting private gatherings of any number of people who are not part of a single household, and forbidding all ‘non-essential’ travel.” (Wisconsin Supreme Court)
