WISCONSIN SENATE PASSES AB308 TO BAN PUBLIC FUNDS FOR UNDOCUMENTED HEALTH CARE; EVERS TO DECIDE

Wisconsin’s Senate approved AB308, which would bar public funding for health care for undocumented residents, potentially affecting BadgerCare eligibility. The bill, already passed by the Assembly, now heads to Gov. Tony Evers for approval or veto. A separate bill (SB553) redefining abortion exceptions moved to the Assembly. Supporters cite taxpayer protections and comparisons to states expanding immigrant health coverage; opponents warn of access and public‑health impacts. Neither measure is law yet.
