A bill that would make having sex with an animal a felony now goes to Governor Evers for his signature.
The Assembly passed the measure yesterday, the Senate passed the bill in October.
Right now bestiality is a misdemeanor.
The bill creates a new crime punishable by up to 12 1/2 years in prison.
Sentences would vary depending on the circumstances, like whether the animal dies and whether a child is present or coerced into sex with an animal.
Those convicted would have to register as sex offenders.
