CNOW for Nov. 3, 2025

Today's conservation notices:

  • Oppose AB 560: Banning ballot drop boxes

  • Oppose SB 475 & AB 450: Further delaying needed updates to commercial building codes

Oppose AB 560: Banning ballot drop boxes

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 560, which is before the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections on Tuesday.

Wisconsin’s elections should be accessible to all voters. Ballot dropboxes provide an important option for voters who vote absentee. AB 560 would ban the use of absentee ballot drop boxes, creating a new barrier to the ballot for these voters.

Oppose SB 475 & AB 450: Further delaying needed updates to commercial building codes

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 475 & AB 450, which are before the Senate Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs on Wednesday.

Updated commercial building energy codes lower energy bills, while improving the health, safety, and comfort of building occupants. SB 475 & AB 450 would further delay the update of our state's building codes until April 2026, after already being delayed by 10 years.

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.
