Of course the Republicans support the bill. They want to cut down the number of available interpreters in Wisconsin so businesses will have genuine reasons not to hire interpreters. According to the ADA itself and backed up by several courts, interpreter shortages are valid 'undue burdens' not to provide interpreters.
I don't know how you came up with this "shortage" idea. In this bill, it allows individuals who are not nationally certified will have up to 6 years to obtain a certificate -- with this certificate, you will be eligible for the state license. As for ADA concerns, this bill is designed to enhance ADA's minimum requirements.
All in all, your comments about the Republicans' support on this bill for the reasons listed in your postings are inaccurate.
@jriggio13 I live in California and interpreter shortages are common here thanks to the VRS industry. I made a vlog about the bill and I'm going to be pushing it. Click on my screen name to see the vlog.
