Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill repeals a provision under which neither the state nor a local
government may enact a statute or ordinance, adopt a policy or regulation, or
impose a contract, zoning, permitting, or licensing requirement, or any other
condition, that would require any person to accept any provision that is a subject of
collective bargaining under state labor laws or the federal National Labor Relations
Act.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 66.0134 of the statutes is repealed.
SECTION 2. 947.21 of the statutes is repealed.
