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 of these entities, 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 under the Maduro regime.

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 work. The secretary has the discretion to issue these waivers. The bill introduces a new section, 20.932, to the statutes, defining key terms such as "foreign country of concern," "local governmental unit," and "state agency," and outlining the use restrictions applicable to electronic devices within these governmental bodies.
