SB45,1,2
1An Act to repeal 180.0622 (2) (b); and
to renumber and amend 180.0622 (2)
2(a) of the statutes;
relating to: liability of shareholders to corporate employes.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law imposes personal liability on each shareholder of a corporation, in
an amount up to the value of the shares that the shareholder owns, for any amount
owed by the corporation to its employes for up to 6 months of work per employe. This
bill eliminates this provision of current law. By cross-reference, the bill also applies
to stock insurance corporations.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SB45, s. 1
