MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans want to make it a crime to be naked in public for any reason and for a child to attend any event, like a naked bike ride, where people don’t have clothes on.
“This is a pretty serious, especially in today’s society.”The World Naked Bike Ride has been happening in cities across the world for more than 20 years.

Under current law, being naked is only a crime if the public exposure is indecent.
Jeff Weigand, a Dane County Board supervisor who complained to police about the naked bike ride, testified in favor of the proposals Thursday.
