Assembly Bill 415 aims to establish restrictions on the use of electronic devices owned, operated, or leased by state agencies or local governmental units in Wisconsin. Under this bill, officials, employees, or contractors, with the exception of law enforcement officers acting in their official capacity, are prohibited from downloading, using, or accessing social media applications or software owned by entities located in designated "foreign countries of concern." These countries include China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela, as identified by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The bill also allows for exemptions, permitting officials, employees, or contractors to obtain a written waiver from the secretary of administration for specific duties related to their roles. The secretary has the discretion to issue these waivers. The legislation seeks to enhance security and mitigate risks associated with foreign adversaries by limiting access to potentially harmful digital platforms and tools.
