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 the energy source that powers them. The bill specifically states that no restrictions can be placed on motor vehicles regarding their energy source 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 by state agencies or local governmental units.

Additionally, the bill amends the title of section 20.931 from "Prohibited boycotts" to "Prohibited governmental actions" and 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 decisions regarding the use and sale of vehicles and devices, promoting a more inclusive approach to energy sources in Wisconsin.
