Governor Evers Vetoes Four Bills in "Red Tape Reset" Pacakge

Tuesday, March 24th, 2026 -- 11:01 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) Democratic Governor Tony Evers on Friday issued vetoes on four bills that sought to limit rulemaking by state agencies.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Republican lawmakers introduced the “Red Tape Reset” package with support from conservative legal advocacy group Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty.

The bills were a response to recent state Supreme Court decisions that limit lawmakers’ ability to oversee rulemaking, including blocking rules indefinitely. In his veto message for one bill, Evers said it would result in “inaction, delays and gridlock.”

Senator Julian Bradley, who advocated the bills, said they sought to make it “easier to build a home, start a business, or simply get ahead.” Bradley said Evers “chose to stand in the way of that progress.”

Evers issued 15 vetoes Friday and signed 12 bills into law.
