Madison, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, the Wisconsin State Assembly Committee on Regulatory Reform on a vote of 8-0 unanimously passed the bipartisan DACA regulatory licensing reform Assembly Bill 822 introduced by Wisconsin State Representatives John Macco (R-Ledgeview), Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milwaukee) and 22 additional representatives and 9 State senators.
The DACA regulatory licensing reform bill now heads to the full State Assembly for debate and approval. If passed in the State Assembly, it will then go before the State Senate for approval.
If passed in both chambers, it will then go before Governor Tony Evers (D) to sign the bill into law.
The DACA regulatory licensing reform bill would allow for recipients of the federal deferred action under the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program to apply for professional licenses (occupational credentials) in the State of Wisconsin.
This bill allows certain individuals who are not U.S. citizens to receive credentials to practice certain occupations in this state if he or she meets all other requirements for the credential. (AB-822, https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2023/proposals/ab822)
