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 defines a motor vehicle as a self-propelled device designed for transporting persons or property. It establishes that no governmental entity can impose restrictions on the use or sale of these vehicles or devices due to the energy source used for propulsion or other functions, while still allowing for policies related to the purchase of vehicles for governmental use.

The bill amends the title of section 20.931 from "Prohibited boycotts" to "Prohibited governmental actions" and introduces new provisions under this section. It creates a new subsection (1)(am) to define "motor vehicle" and a new subsection (3) that outlines the prohibitions based on energy sources. This includes a clear distinction that the restrictions do not apply to policies regarding the purchase of motor vehicles by state agencies or local governmental units.
