Education was the primary focus of several bills signed by Gov. Jim Doyle Thursday.
The bills passed include one that loosens hunting regulations and another that requires landlords to change the locks on their properties if requested by a tenant.
Assembly Bill 236 will require high schools to offer science credit for some agriculture classes. The bill encourages agricultural education in school, said a spokesperson for Rep. Mark Radcliffe, D-Black River Falls, author of the bill.
""Agricultural jobs are becoming more diverse and many of them require specialized and technical knowledge,"" said a spokesperson for Sen.Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma.
""We want to make sure that if a student is pursuing their studies on agricultural courses, they get science credit for the science work they do.""
The standards used to determine a course's eligibility are the equivalency standards already in place by the state Department of Public Instruction.
Other bills passed tighten the OWI revision law, broaden the definition of motor bicycles to include certain electric vehicles and designate U.S. Highway 63 as Gaylord Nelson Highway.
