Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
11 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 6 costs, 1 mixed.
Unpaid support can block representative licenses
The state must deny, suspend, limit, refuse renewal, or withhold licenses for representatives in workers' compensation cases who fail specified support duties. Covered debts include court-ordered child or family support, maintenance, birth costs, medical costs, and related support expenses. The rule also covers ignoring qualifying paternity or child-support subpoenas or warrants after proper notice. Review follows the child-support enforcement agreement under section 49.857, not the usual Chapter 227 administrative review process.
Partnerships face tax adjustment payment rules
Partnerships can request to amend returns and pay Wisconsin tax for partners after a final Internal Revenue Service decision. They must submit the request within 60 days of that decision. Payments through this process must use the highest applicable Wisconsin tax rate for each affected reviewed year.
Faster approvals and temporary health credentials
Completed credential applications receive automatic approval on the 10th business day after the Department submits them to the licensing board. The Department must recommend approval, including approval with limits, without further review; no listed exception can occur before that deadline. The law also updates which statutes govern temporary health care credentials. The Department must grant temporary credentials to qualifying providers, who can work within the scope of credentials they hold. The recreated temporary-credential provision takes effect the later of September 1, 2026, or the day after publication.
Military physical therapists gain compact coverage
The physical therapy licensing compact counts more National Guard and Reserve members as active-duty military. They must have active-duty orders under federal law, 10 U.S.C. chapters 1209 or 1211. These members are covered by the compact's applicable military licensing provisions.
School protections reach more military children
The military children's education compact now includes more National Guard and Reserve families. The service member must have active-duty orders under federal law, 10 U.S.C. chapters 1209 or 1211. Their qualifying children receive the compact's applicable education protections.
State can contract for child welfare
Wisconsin's Department of Children and Families can contract with licensed child welfare agencies in counties with at least 750,000 people. These agencies can perform specified department child welfare duties. Contracted agencies must follow confidentiality rules.
Insurers drop one meeting notice requirement
Wisconsin insurers must describe listed matters needing policyholder approval in annual or regular meeting notices. The list includes sections 181.1103, 181.1133, 181.1163, and 181.1173, but no longer includes section 181.1105. This changes required meeting disclosures, not insurance coverage or premiums.
Trust conversions lose one rule exemption
When a trust converts to a unitrust, section 701.0418 is no longer excluded from the rules applying to that conversion. Sections 701.0410 through 701.0417 remain excluded. The change does not specify a new distribution formula or payment amount for beneficiaries.
Local governments must certify yearly maintenance
Counties and municipalities must include maintenance statements in the specified annual certifications. The statements must confirm that required items stayed at least at the previous year's level. One certification covers at least one listed item; the other covers at least two, subject to the statutory exception.
Charging tax registrants must keep records
Registered people or entities that owe the charging electricity tax must keep electricity records for each covered charger. This covers Level 1, 2, and 3 chargers installed on or after March 22, 2024. Records must track kilowatt-hours delivered and be provided to Wisconsin's Department of Revenue on request. The provision does not change the tax rate.
Family court requires abuse case disclosures
People filing the specified family-court affidavit must disclose pending or completed cases involving the parties and domestic abuse or interspousal battery. Cases in any jurisdiction count. The disclosure covers listed protection petitions and certain criminal cases, giving the court information relevant to the family case.
