House Republicans Repeal Biden-era EV Mandates, Pass Regulatory Reforms

Wisconsin Republicans have introduced a legislative package, dubbed the 'Red Tape Reset,' aimed at significantly reducing state regulations. The proposals seek to limit the power of executive branch agencies, require regular review and justification of the state's 160,000 regulations, and ensure that regulations automatically expire after seven years unless actively renewed. Proponents argue these measures will stimulate economic growth, foster job creation, and remove barriers for small businesses and entrepreneurs. The bills are based on research from the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and are intended to address what GOP lawmakers describe as excessive bureaucracy imposed by Governor Evers' administration. Democrats have not indicated whether Governor Evers will sign the legislation if it passes, and Republicans lack the supermajority required to override a veto on their own.
