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 an ordinance, adopting a resolution, or establishing a policy that would

prohibit an employee from inquiring whether an individual who receives public

services is lawfully present in the state, notifying the federal government of the

presence of aliens who are not lawfully present, or acting according to or complying

with state law regarding arrested persons who are not lawfully present. Under the

bill, a state resident who believes that a political subdivision is not complying with

these requirements may petition for a writ of mandamus requiring compliance, and,

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.
