Senate Bill 354 proposes the creation of a new statute, 16.245, which outlines the process for the state of Wisconsin to pursue liens on federal property when federal aid is withheld due to an executive order from the President or in violation of a court order. The bill mandates that the secretary of administration must first determine the amount of federal aid being withheld and then submit a detailed report to the governor and the legislature within 60 days. This report must include the expected amount of aid lost and identify federal properties in Wisconsin that could be subject to a lien.

Furthermore, the bill requires the attorney general to request and attempt to obtain liens on the identified federal properties, with the total amount of the liens not exceeding the estimated federal aid loss. Once the state receives the withheld federal aid, all liens obtained must be released. This legislative measure aims to provide a mechanism for the state to recover financial losses incurred due to federal actions that impede the flow of authorized aid.
