Legalizing lemonade: Gov. Tony Evers signs bill letting kids sell Kool-Aid and other drinks

MADISON - Kids' lemonade stands are now legal.

Gov. Tony Evers signed a bill Monday that allows children to sell lemonade and other goods on private property without having to get a permit. The stands can't have more than $2,000 a year in sales and can't sell products that spoil, such as meat.

The measure, Senate Bill 170, enjoyed broad bipartisan support and passed both houses of the Legislature in October on voice votes.

The Democratic governor also signed Senate Bill 349, which allows gas stations to dispense gas with no ethanol and gas that contains up to 15% ethanol to be dispensed through the same hose.
