I am vetoing Assembly Bill 122 in its entirety.
This bill permits and defines a “micro education pod” as an educational program between two and ten family units and up to 20 children in a single location with a designated administrator. The ability to use micro education pods would sunset after the 2023-2024 school year.
I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to creating an entirely new type of largely unregulated educational structure. The bill would functionally create a new class of small private entities that would operate outside of the current laws applying to private schools and homeschooling, such as those relating to special education, employment, building codes, teacher licensing, and health and safety standards. Micro education pods would operate as mostly unregulated, small private schools with some components of homeschooling. More broadly, this bill is part of a series of efforts by this Legislature to politicize our schools and our education system while refusing to make meaningful, necessary investments in our kids and our schools. I welcome the opportunity to work together with the Legislature to do what’s best for our kids.
I am vetoing Assembly Bill 152 in its entirety.
This bill creates an exemption from the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Service's examination requirement for certain building and plumbing plans and modifies other aspects of the building plan review process.
I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to passing unnecessary legislation that could ultimately compromise safety by undermining the department’s current process, which helps ensure public health and safety standards are met. Moreover, my administration has already successfully addressed the problem this bill seeks to solve. Three years ago, building and plumbing plan review times were taking much too long and negatively impacting building constructions and renovations.  As a result, my administration, and specifically the department's secretary, took the initiative to find a way to reduce plan review time and successfully did so.  Since taking these steps, plan review time has been reduced by about half; from 10 to 12 weeks to four to six weeks, on average.  In fact, in 2020, most plan reviews were completed in three to five weeks.  Therefore, what this legislation intends to do has already been accomplished without compromising safety.
I am vetoing Assembly Bill 414 in its entirety.
The bill would require the Departments of Revenue and Administration, respectively, to potentially withhold state funding from any local or state government agency if that agency requires employees to attend training relating to any number of concepts prescribed in the bill.
I am vetoing the bill in its entirety because I object to the Legislature attempting to infringe upon the executive branch of state government, especially under cover of politically motivated claims and erroneous assumptions for which the Legislature has no meaningful basis.
I am vetoing Assembly Bill 446 in its entirety.
