SB 464 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: state preemption of local employment regulations. (FE)

SB 464 repeals two state laws (statutes 103.007 and 109.09(3)) that previously prevented local governments from creating their own employment regulations. This bill directly affects cities and counties by removing the state's legal barrier to local workplace rules, such as minimum wage or scheduling requirements. The key mechanism is the removal of these preemption statutes, allowing local governments to establish employment standards without state override. The bill focuses solely on changing the legal framework to enable local regulation, without specifying new policies.
