AB 789 ratifies a negotiated agreement between Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association for the 2025-27 biennium, directly affecting public safety employees (such as police and firefighters) covered under collective bargaining. The bill authorizes state funding from existing appropriations to implement the agreement, which was approved by affected employees and recommended by the joint committee on employment relations. It requires the state to file the official agreement with the secretary of state, making it the binding document for implementation. The agreement’s specific terms take effect as outlined in the ratified document, with the bill itself becoming effective after publication.
