2025 - 2026 LEGISLATURE LRB-0755/1 ARG:amn 2025 SENATE BILL 267 May 20, 2025 - Introduced by Senators Hutton, Bradley, Pfaff, Wirch, Cabral-Guevara, Nass, Kapenga, Ratcliff and Spreitzer, cosponsored by Representatives Franklin, Maxey, Doyle, Armstrong, DeSmidt, Goodwin, O'Connor, Dittrich, Gundrum, Miresse, Snodgrass, Melotik, Joers, Sheehan, Knodl, Bare, Roe, Kreibich, Behnke and Brooks. Referred to Committee on Financial Institutions and Sporting Heritage. An Act to amend 183.0122 (2) (d) 1. a. of the statutes; relating to: the fee for filing limited liability company articles of organization with the Department of Financial Institutions. Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill expands the filing fee exception for a student entrepreneur who forms a limited liability company (LLC). Current law establishes a fee of $130 for filing LLC articles of organization with the Department of Financial Institutions. However, DFI may not collect this fee if the LLC members or organizers are all student entrepreneurs. A “student entrepreneur” is defined as a student who is at least 18 years of age, enrolled in a postsecondary institution in this state, and an organizer or member of an LLC formed as a business start-up. This bill expands the definition of “student entrepreneur” to include a student who is enrolled in a public, private, or tribal high school in this state or is homeschooled. For further information see the state 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 enact as follows: Section 1. 183.0122 (2) (d) 1. a. of the statutes is amended to read: 183.0122 (2) (d) 1. a.
