What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
A statutory provision created in 2023 Wisconsin Act 12 provides that, unless required to secure federal aid, no political subdivision may discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment on the basis of, race, color, ancestry, national origin, or sexual orientation in making employment decisions regarding employees of a political subdivision or contracting for public works. This bill eliminates the specification in this provision that the granting of preferential treatment based on the listed characteristics is prohibited.
