What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law allows the Department of Corrections (DOC) to enter into an

agreement or contract with another state to transfer inmates imprisoned in

Wisconsin to the other state for imprisonment in the other state, but does not allow

the transfer of inmates from other states to Wisconsin for imprisonment here.

Under this bill, DOC may not enter into an agreement or contract to imprison

any person who was an inmate, prisoner, or detainee at the federal Guantanamo Bay

Naval Base detention facility, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, unless the person violates a

Wisconsin law.
