Assembly Bill 466 seeks to amend existing laws regarding project labor agreements and public contracts in Wisconsin. The bill repeals several provisions that currently prohibit state and local governments from requiring bidders to enter into agreements with labor organizations or considering such agreements when awarding contracts. Specifically, it repeals sections 16.75 (1p), 16.855 (1p), and multiple subsections of 66.0901, thereby allowing municipalities the option to include labor organization agreements in their bidding specifications.

Additionally, the bill amends section 66.0901 (6) to clarify that municipalities can set reasonable conditions regarding labor hours, wages, and worker classifications in public contracts. The previous language that limited these conditions is deleted, and the bill also repeals sections 66.0901 (6m) and 66.0901 (6s). Overall, this legislation aims to provide more flexibility for municipalities in their procurement processes by allowing them to consider labor agreements in public contracts.
