Assembly Bill 474 seeks to repeal existing state preemptions that restrict local governments in Wisconsin from enacting their own employment regulations. Specifically, the bill removes the limitations on local ordinances concerning wage claims and collections, as well as regulations on employee hours, overtime, and scheduling of work shifts.

By repealing sections 103.007 and 109.09 (3) of the statutes, the bill empowers local governments to establish their own rules regarding these employment issues, allowing for greater flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of local communities. This legislative change reflects a shift towards decentralizing authority over employment regulations, enabling municipalities to tailor their laws to better serve their residents and workforce.
