Assembly Bill 39 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 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 a new section, 230.35 (6), which 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. This legislation aims to ensure that state employees return to in-person work, reflecting a shift from remote work practices that may have been adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
