Madison A bill legalizing rubber duck races in Wisconsin has been scheduled for a public hearing Thursday before the state Senate's Workforce Development Committee.
Non-profit organizations commonly race the little plastic ducks, with numbers on the bottom, to raise money. Participants usually buy a raffle ticket corresponding with a duck's number. The first to float across the finish line wins.
The bill comes after the village of Mishicot was warned by the Wisconsin Department of Justice that its annual rubber duck race amounts to illegal gambling. The bill creates an exemption for duck races, similar to laws in Minnesota and Michigan.
