Senate Bill 82 aims to prohibit state agencies and local governmental units in Wisconsin from restricting the use or sale of motor vehicles and other devices based on their energy sources. The bill specifically states that no restrictions can be placed on motor vehicles regarding the energy source used for propulsion or other functions, nor can any restrictions be imposed on other devices based on their energy consumption. However, it clarifies that this prohibition does not affect existing policies related to the purchase of motor vehicles for governmental use.

The bill also includes amendments to the current statutes, changing the title of section 20.931 from "Prohibited boycotts" to "Prohibited governmental actions." Additionally, it introduces a definition for "motor vehicle" as a self-propelled device designed for transporting persons or property. The new provisions aim to ensure that energy source considerations do not influence governmental actions regarding the sale and use of vehicles and devices.
