CNOW for Dec. 8, 2025

Today's conservation notices:

• Oppose SB 420: Preventing local governments from passing rights of nature ordinances

  ---

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 420, which is before the Senate Committee on Transportation and Local Government on Tuesday.

Local governments are at the forefront of strategies that ensure Wisconsin is home to clean air, safe water, healthy soils, and rich biodiversity. SB 420 would undermine local control and limit local governments’ ability to protect our environment by preventing our cities, towns, and villages from enacting ordinances they see fit.

Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the Senate, Assembly and/or Governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2026.
