Assembly Bill 344 proposes the creation of a new statute, 16.245, which outlines the procedures the secretary of administration must follow if federal aid to Wisconsin is withheld due to an executive order from the president or a court order. The bill mandates that the secretary determine the approximate amount of federal aid being withheld and submit a detailed report to the governor and the legislature within 60 days. This report must include the amount of aid expected to be lost and identify federal properties in Wisconsin on which the state may seek to place a lien.

Additionally, the bill requires the secretary to request the attorney general to obtain liens on the identified federal properties, with the total amount of the liens not exceeding the estimated federal aid loss. The attorney general is tasked with attempting to secure these liens, and the bill also stipulates that all liens obtained must be released once the state receives the withheld federal aid. This legislative measure aims to provide a mechanism for the state to protect its financial interests in the event of federal aid being withheld.
