NOW: Chronic wasting disease legislation would fund study, management of CWD

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- There's a bipartisan effort in Wisconsin to tackle chronic wasting disease in deer.

Democratic Congressman Ron Kind and Republican Jim Sensenbrenner have introduced a bill that would support the state's efforts in managing CWD and explore ways to prevent it from spreading.

Chronic wasting disease has been found in more than half of the counties in Wisconsin.
