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 specifically exempts telehealth services and any duties that were previously performed off-site before March 1, 2020.

To implement this requirement, the bill introduces a new section, 230.35 (6), which defines "state agency" to include various governmental bodies, such as the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, the legislature, and the courts. The legislation aims to ensure that state employees are physically present at their workplaces, reinforcing the traditional work environment while allowing for certain exceptions related to telehealth and pre-existing off-site duties.
