WILL OPPOSES ROFR Legislation
2025 Senate Bill 28 and Assembly Bill 25 attempt to create an ROFR statute in Wisconsin for the first time. The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (“WILL”) opposes this legislation. It is unconstitutional because it impermissibly discriminates against nonresident companies. Additionally, it is a bad policy that will drive up costs for ratepayers. While supporters of this legislation claim it is necessary to ensure “reliability,” existing laws already accomplish that goal.
WILL Backs New DPI Reform Bill!
New legislation (AB-1) introduced by Senator John Jagler (R-Watertown) and Representative Bob Wittke (R-Caledonia) to reverse the years-long process of lowering academic and performance standards by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI). WILL believes these changes have been made to hide declining academic performance of Wisconsin schools since 2020.
