13of the statutes;
relating to: prohibiting the denial, revocation, suspension,
14withholding or restriction of approvals issued under chapter 29 of the statutes
1based on the failure of the approval applicants or approval holders to provide
2social security numbers.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of natural resources (DNR) must require
that a person who is applying for any type of fish or game approval provide DNR with
his or her social security number. These approvals include recreational hunting and
fishing licenses as well as commercial licenses such as fish dealer and taxidermist
permits. DNR must deny the application if the person refuses to provide his or her
social security number. DNR then discloses the number to the department of
workforce development (DWD) so that DWD may determine whether the person is
delinquent in child support or other court-ordered family or birth expenses or has
failed to comply with a subpoena or warrant that relates to paternity or child support
court proceedings. If the person is delinquent or has failed to comply, DNR must deny
the application and suspend any current approvals held by the person.
DNR also discloses the social security number to the department of revenue
(DOR) so that DOR may determine whether the person is delinquent in the payment
of certain state taxes. If the person is delinquent, the person must deny the
application and revoke any current approvals held by the person.
The bill repeals the provision requiring that an applicant for a fish or game
approval provide his or her social security number and the provision that DNR must
deny or suspend an application or revoke or suspend an approval if a person fails to
provide his or her number.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
