What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits a city, village, town, or county (political subdivision) from
enacting or enforcing an ordinance, resolution, or policy that prohibits an employee
of that political subdivision from inquiring about the immigration status of an
individual who has been lawfully detained or arrested, or from otherwise cooperating
with or assisting the federal government, or other units of government, with
immigration enforcement. The bill also authorizes the attorney general or the
appropriate district attorney or sheriff to file a writ of mandamus with the circuit
court to require compliance with the requirements created by the bill if he or she
believes that the political subdivision is failing to comply with the requirements.
If a court finds that a political subdivision has failed to comply, the department
of revenue must reduce the political subdivision's shared revenue payments in the
next year by $500 to $5,000, depending on the political subdivision's population, for
each day of noncompliance.
