Assembly Bill 83 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 amends the title of section 20.931 from "Prohibited boycotts" to "Prohibited governmental actions" and introduces new definitions and prohibitions. It creates a definition for "motor vehicle" and establishes clear prohibitions against governmental restrictions based on energy sources, ensuring that both motor vehicles and other devices are treated equally regardless of their energy source.
