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. Specifically, the bill defines a motor vehicle as a self-propelled device designed for transportation and establishes that no governmental entity can impose restrictions on the use or sale of these vehicles or other devices due to the energy source that powers them. However, it clarifies that this prohibition does not affect existing policies regarding 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 related to energy sources. It creates a new subsection that explicitly states the restrictions on governmental actions concerning energy sources for both motor vehicles and other devices, ensuring that any significant function of a device that uses or consumes an energy source is protected from such restrictions.
