The bill, introduced as 2025 Senate Bill 794, seeks to ratify a collective bargaining agreement negotiated for the 2025-26 fiscal year between the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee. This agreement specifically covers employees in the building trades crafts collective bargaining unit, excluding those assigned to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The bill authorizes the necessary expenditure of funds from statutory program supplement appropriations to cover costs that exceed budgeted amounts, ensuring that the financial implications of the agreement are addressed.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Board of Regents file an official copy of the ratified agreement with the secretary of state, certified by the cochairpersons of the joint committee on employment relations. It clarifies that any agreements not included in this official copy are not approved by the legislature. The act will take effect the day after publication, with specific provisions in the agreement having their own designated effective dates.
