MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin lawmakers are expected to take a step toward allowing home bakers to sell their pies, cakes and muffins.

The state Senate was scheduled to vote Wednesday on a bill that would do away with a requirement that bakers obtain a license, which means renting or building a commercial kitchen, in order to sell their goods.

The Senate has long supported doing away with the license requirement. But the bill has been blocked in the Assembly by Speaker Robin Vos. He’s introduced a competing proposal that would do away with all licensing for bakers, no matter the size or type of their operations.

Two weeks ago, a judge in Lafayette County judge struck down the current law banning the sale of homemade baked goods, deemed it unconstitutional.
