Collection.
The department of labor and human rights may, upon the written request of the department
of labor or other corresponding agency of any other state, nation, or country or of any person,
board, officer, or commission of the state, nation, or country authorized to act for and on behalf
of the department of labor or corresponding agency, maintain actions in the courts of this state
upon assigned claims for wages, judgments, and demands arising in the other state, nation, or
country in the same manner and to the same extent that the actions by the department of labor
and human rights are authorized when arising in this state; provided, however, that the actions
may be commenced and maintained only in those cases where the other state, nation, or

country by appropriate legislation or by reciprocal agreement extends a like comity to cases
arising in this state.
