What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law specifies that the Department of Children and Families (DCF) may by rule establish policies and procedures permitting DCF to impose certain penalties on a child care provider who provides care for children under the Wisconsin Works child care subsidy program and who submits false, misleading, or irregular information to DCF or who fails to comply with the terms of the program without providing a satisfactory explanation for the failure to comply. The penalties that DCF may impose include recouping or withholding payments from the child care provider and imposing a forfeiture. This bill provides that if a child care provider is a corporation or a limited liability company and is unable to satisfy a penalty imposed by DCF, any officer, director, or employee of the corporation, or any member, manager, or employee of the limited liability company, who holds at least 20 percent of the ownership interest of the corporation or limited liability company and who has control or supervision of or responsibility for operating the child care business may be held personally liable. The bill provides that the personal liability of any officer, director, member, manager, or employee is an independent obligation that survives the dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, or analogous situation of the corporation or limited liability company.
