SB 311 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: prohibiting funding for health services for unlawfully present individuals. (FE)

SB 311 prohibits state and local government funds - including those from counties, cities, towns, and federal funds passing through the state treasury - from covering health care services for individuals not lawfully present in the U.S. It directly affects undocumented immigrants seeking health care in Wisconsin. The bill creates a new statute (20.926) banning such funding, with two exceptions: it does not apply if federal law requires payment, or if applying the ban would cause the state to lose federal funds. This policy change restricts public funding for health services based solely on immigration status.
