(Wisconsin Radio Network) State lawmakers pass a bill that would allow delivery and rideshare drivers to receive benefits.

The bill from Republicans, Senator Julian Bradley and Representative Alex Dallman, passed along party lines in the Assembly and Senate. The authors say if signed into law it would make Wisconsin the first state in the nation to allow those drivers to receive benefits like retirement accounts, health insurance and occupational accident insurance.

Some Democrats have opposed the legislation, calling it “anti-worker.” The bill is now ready for Democratic Governor Tony Evers consideration, and it’s unclear whether he’ll sign it into law.
