According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "the employment eligibility verification program and granting rule-making authority. (FE)".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill aims to amend state statutes to require the use of the Federal Employment Eligibility Verification Program (E-Verify) for employment and contracting purposes. It prohibits state agencies from purchasing materials or contracting services from employers not enrolled in E-Verify, or those employing individuals identified as ineligible to work in the U.S. The Department of Administration cannot enter construction contracts with these employers either. The legislation mandates state and local governments to verify potential employees' work eligibility through E-Verify before hiring. Exceptions exist if the E-Verify program is discontinued. The bill's provisions take effect on the specified date in the enactment clause.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Eric Wimberger (Republican-2nd District), Representative Robert Brooks (Republican-59th District), Representative Barbara Dittrich (Republican-99th District), Representative Joy L. Goeben (Republican-5th District), Representative Daniel Knodl (Republican-24th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator John Jagler (Republican-13th District), Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District), and Senator Cory Tomczyk (Republican-29th District), along six other co-sponsors.
Lindee Rae Brill has co-authored or authored another 63 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Brill graduated from Hope College in 2003 with a BA.
Brill, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 27th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Amy Binsfeld.
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.
