Assembly Bill 478 seeks to repeal existing statutes 66.0134 and 947.21, which currently prohibit state and local governments in Wisconsin from enacting any laws, policies, or regulations that would require individuals to accept provisions subject to collective bargaining under state labor laws or the federal National Labor Relations Act. This repeal would allow for greater flexibility in labor regulations at both the state and local levels, potentially enabling governments to impose requirements related to collective bargaining.

By removing these prohibitions, the bill aims to empower state and local governments to engage more actively in labor regulation, which could lead to new policies that address labor relations and workers' rights. The bill has been introduced by a group of representatives and senators and has been referred to the Committee on Workforce Development, Labor, and Integrated Employment for further consideration.
