Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a collective bargaining unit that represents public safety
employees (law enforcement officers) may generally bargain wages, hours, and
conditions of employment. This bill prohibits public safety bargaining units that
represent law enforcement officers from bargaining the reversal of a decision by a
police chief to fire a law enforcement officer. The bill does not prohibit a fire and
police commission or police and fire commission from rehiring a law enforcement
officer who was fired.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
