Senate Bill 27 mandates that all state employees in Wisconsin must perform their work in person at their respective state agency offices during their regularly scheduled work hours, starting July 1, 2025. The bill defines "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. However, it provides exemptions for telehealth services and for duties that were previously performed off-site before March 1, 2020.

The bill introduces new legal language under section 230.35 (6) of the statutes, which outlines the requirements for state agencies regarding employee work locations. Specifically, it states that each state agency is responsible for ensuring that employees fulfill their assigned duties at the agency's offices, with the noted exceptions. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
