Five Wisconsin Senate Democrats have offered a bill that would make companies that hire illegal aliens ineligible for state tax exemptions, state contracts, grants and loans. The bill was introduced by Dave Hansen, Robert Wirch, Jon Erpenbach, Jim Holperin and Tim Carpenter.
If passed, the bill (SB 137) would place a seven year ban on companies that knowingly hire illegal aliens from receiving any income or franchise tax credit or property tax exemption, entering into a contract with the state or a local governmental unit for construction, remodeling, or repair of a public work or building or for the furnishing of supplies, services, equipment, or material of any kind, or receiving any grants or loans from a governmental unit.
Wisconsin currently has no mandatory E-Verify laws in effect.
