Bill Description
Climate change is one of the most pressing problems facing the planet. Local governments in Wisconsin have been on the forefront of developing plans to make sure that the energy produced in their communities is safe, locally available when possible, and pollution-free. SB 49 would restrict local communities' ability to determine what fuel sources are used to meet their needs by unnecessarily mandating that they can't exclude natural gas.
Current Status
SB 49 was vetoed by Governor Evers on August 2, 2023. The Senate voted to override the Governor's veto on September 14, 2023. An override vote of SB 49 is now available to be scheduled in the Assembly.
Ask your legislators to uphold the Governor's veto and oppose SB 49.
