A new bill authored by State Rep. Alex A. Dallman in the Wisconsin Assembly seeks to prohibit certain public funds from being used for healthcare services for individuals not lawfully present in the U.S, according to the Wisconsin State Assembly.

According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "prohibiting funding for health services for unlawfully present individuals. (FE)".

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

In essence, this bill creates a statute prohibiting the allocation of state, county, village, town, or long-term care district funding, including any federal funds passing through the Wisconsin state treasury, for health care services provided to individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States. However, these prohibitions do not apply if federal law requires such payments or if enforcing the restriction would result in the loss of federal funds.

The bill was co-authored by Senator Van H. Wanggaard (Republican-21st District), Representative Scott Allen (Republican-82nd District), Representative Elijah R. Behnke (Republican-6th District), Representative Lindee Rae Brill (Republican-27th District), Representative Calvin T. Callahan (Republican-35th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District) and Senator Cory Tomczyk (Republican-29th District), along 16 other co-sponsors.

Alex A. Dallman has co-authored or authored another 20 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.

Dallman graduated from Edgewood College in 2015 with a BS.

Dallman, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 39th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Mark Born.

In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
