Senate Bill 184 aims to prohibit state agencies and local governmental units in Wisconsin from imposing restrictions on the use or sale of motor vehicles and other devices based on their energy sources. Specifically, the bill states that no governmental body can limit the use or sale of a motor vehicle due to the energy source used for propulsion or other functions, nor can they restrict devices based on the energy source that powers or is consumed by them. However, the bill clarifies that it does not affect existing policies regarding the purchase of motor vehicles for governmental use.

The bill introduces a new section, 995.80, which defines key terms such as "local governmental unit," "motor vehicle," and "state agency." It outlines the limitations on regulation, ensuring that energy source considerations cannot dictate the sale or use of vehicles and devices. This legislation reflects a commitment to maintaining a diverse energy landscape and preventing discrimination against specific energy sources in the marketplace.
