Republican Governor Scott Walker introduced AB-11 in February 2011. Popularly known as the "Budget Repair Bill," AB-11 was officially An Act relating to: state finances, collective bargaining for public employees, compensation and fringe benefits of public employees, the state civil service system, the Medical Assistance program. Criticism of the bill's restrictions on collective bargaining led it to generate more controversy than any other state legislation in recent memory.
The Assembly voted on two slightly different versions of AB-11. The first vote, taken after midnight on February 25, 2011, approved AB-11 largely as introduced, with only slight modifications by the legislature's joint finance committee. The vote was conducted in a matter of seconds, and many legislators did not have time to cast a decision on the bill. It passed 51-17, with 21 not voting.
Following the Assembly's first vote, the legislation had to be modified in a conference committee before passing the Senate. This required the Assembly to hold a second vote on March 10, 2011. This time the bill passed 53-42, with 1 not voting. AB-11 was signed by Gov. Walker on March 11, 2011.
