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.
