Senate Bill 464 aims to repeal existing state preemptions that restrict local governments in Wisconsin from enacting their own employment regulations. Specifically, the bill seeks to eliminate the provisions in statutes 103.007 and 109.09 (3), which currently prevent local authorities from establishing ordinances related to wage claims and collections, as well as regulations concerning employee hours, overtime, and scheduling of work shifts.

By removing these preemptions, the bill empowers local governments to create and enforce their own employment laws, allowing for greater flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of their communities. This legislative change reflects a shift towards local control over employment regulations, potentially leading to more tailored solutions that address specific local labor market conditions.
