SB 209: Relating to: limiting liability relating to traffic control devices for manufacturers and others.

Senate Bill 209 limits the legal liability for manufacturers, distributors, sellers, installers, and owners of traffic control devices. Under this bill, these entities are not liable for damages if a device complies with the specifications outlined in the official traffic control devices manual and operates as intended. This protection covers various claims, including personal injury, property damage, negligence, and breach of warranty. However, the liability limitation does not apply if there is clear evidence that the device failed to meet specifications or operate as intended when the damage occurred. The bill also establishes a rebuttable presumption of compliance if the device was designed and installed according to manual standards or with authorized deviations.

AB 160: Relating to: eliminating daylight saving time in Wisconsin.

Assembly Bill 160 proposes to eliminate daylight saving time in Wisconsin. It achieves this by repealing the state statute that currently mandates the annual time change. If enacted, Wisconsin residents and businesses would no longer adjust their clocks forward in spring or backward in fall. The bill also amends regulations for certain licensed premises, removing the special one-hour extension that currently occurs on the Sunday daylight saving time begins. This would establish a consistent standard time throughout the year for the state.

SB 174: Relating to: coverage of individuals with preexisting conditions and benefit limits under health plans.

Senate Bill 174 establishes state regulations for health plans regarding preexisting conditions and benefit limits. It would prevent individual and group health plans from denying coverage or imposing exclusions based on an individual's preexisting health condition. The bill also prohibits lifetime and annual dollar limits on benefits and sets rules for how premium rates can vary for individual and small employer plans. These provisions would only take effect if federal Affordable Care Act regulations related to these issues are no longer enforceable or preempt state law.

AB 184: Relating to: coverage of individuals with preexisting conditions and benefit limits under health plans.

AB 184 establishes state-level regulations for health plans concerning coverage for individuals with preexisting conditions and benefit limits. The bill mandates that most individual and group health plans accept all applicants, prohibits preexisting condition exclusions, and bans lifetime and annual dollar limits on benefits. It also restricts how health plans can vary premium rates based on factors like age and tobacco use. These provisions would only become applicable if related federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements are no longer enforceable or no longer preempt state law.

SB 165: Relating to: eliminating daylight saving time in Wisconsin.

Senate Bill 165 proposes to eliminate daylight saving time permanently in Wisconsin. If enacted, Wisconsin would remain on standard time year-round, meaning clocks would no longer be adjusted forward in spring or backward in fall. The bill also modifies closing hours for licensed establishments, removing the special 3:30 a.m. closing time that currently occurs on the Sunday when daylight saving time begins. This change would affect all individuals and businesses in Wisconsin by standardizing the time throughout the year.

SB 220: Relating to: residency requirements for persons circulating nomination papers or recall petitions.

Senate Bill 220 modifies the residency requirements for individuals who collect signatures for political documents. For most candidate nomination papers, the bill expands eligibility, allowing U.S. citizens aged 18 or older to serve as circulators, even if they are not registered voters of the state, provided they would otherwise be eligible to vote. However, for recall petitions, the bill specifically requires circulators to be a qualified elector (registered voter) of the state. These changes directly affect individuals who gather signatures to support candidates or initiate recall efforts.
