Senate Bill 27 mandates that all state employees must perform their work in person at their respective state agency offices during their regularly scheduled work hours, starting July 1, 2025. The bill specifies that this requirement does not apply to telehealth services or any duties that were previously performed off-site before March 1, 2020.

The bill introduces new legal language under section 230.35 (6), defining "state agency" to include various entities such as the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, the legislature, and the courts, among others. This comprehensive definition ensures that the in-person work requirement applies broadly across state agencies.
