What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
