Bill > AJR102

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution to prohibit governmental entities, which are broadly defined to include state and local government bodies like municipalities, school districts, the University of Wisconsin System, and the legislature, from discriminating against or giving preferential treatment to individuals or groups based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in areas such as public employment, education, contracting, and administration. The resolution includes exceptions for actions required to maintain eligibility for federal programs and allows for bona fide qualifications based on sex that are reasonably necessary for public operations, and it also states that if any part of the amendment conflicts with federal law, it should be implemented to the maximum extent permitted by federal law. This proposed constitutional amendment will be submitted to a vote of the people in November 2026.
