Adam Neylon, Wisconsin State Representative for 15th District | Official Website
According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "required ratio of journeyworkers to apprentices in apprenticeship programs and contracts".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends existing Wisconsin statutes to change the required ratio of journeyworkers to apprentices in apprenticeship programs and contracts. Previously, there was a requirement of having no more than one apprentice per journeyworker. The bill now allows for a ratio of one journeyworker to two apprentices. This change means that apprenticeship programs can have a more flexible structure, potentially increasing the number of apprentices who can be trained under each journeyworker. The act's applicability to apprenticeship contracts governed by collective bargaining agreements will take effect when those agreements expire or are extended, modified, or renewed.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Chris Kapenga (Republican-33rd District), Representative David Armstrong (Republican-67th District), Representative Lindee Rae Brill (Republican-27th District), Representative Robert Brooks (Republican-59th District), Representative Barbara Dittrich (Republican-99th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara (Republican-19th District), Senator Dan Feyen (Republican-20th District), and Senator Rob Hutton (Republican-5th District), along 18 other co-sponsors.
Adam Neylon has authored or co-authored another 10 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Neylon graduated from Carroll University in 2008 with a BA.
Neylon, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 15th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Dave Maxey.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
