AB 333

Under current law, as created in

2013 Wisconsin Act 20

, the state budget bill,

the legislature made a finding that public employee residency requirements are a

matter of statewide concern and, generally, prohibited a local governmental unit

(any city, village, town, county, or school district) from requiring, as a condition of

employment, that any employee or prospective employee of a local governmental unit

reside within any jurisdictional limit. Current law also states that if a local

governmental unit had a residency requirement in effect on the effective date of the

residency requirement provisions created in Act 20, those provisions do not apply

and cannot be enforced.

This bill repeals the prohibitions on local residency requirements that were

created in Act 20 and restores the former law.
