The 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, also known as the Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill, was legislation proposed by Republican Governor Scott Walker and passed by the Wisconsin Legislature to address a projected $3.6 billion budget deficit. The legislation primarily impacted the following areas: collective bargaining, compensation, retirement, health insurance, and sick leave of public sector employees. The bill was passed into law and became effective as of June 29, 2011. The only represented public employees that are exempt from the changes to the collective bargaining law are state patrol troopers and inspectors.
