What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Department of Corrections must reimburse counties for certain expenses related to an action or proceeding involving a prisoner in a state prison or a juvenile in a juvenile correctional facility in the county. This bill adds that DOC must also reimburse any county, city, village, or town that provides law enforcement investigative services for an incident involving a prisoner in a state prison or a juvenile in a juvenile correctional facility.

Under current DOC practice in accordance with memoranda of understanding, DOC reimburses the village of Allouez and Dodge County specific amounts at specific intervals during the year for law enforcement investigative services. This bill provides that, notwithstanding the statutory changes contained in the bill, the village of Allouez and Dodge County may continue to be reimbursed in accordance with their MOUs. This bill also decreases DOC's general operations appropriation in the amounts currently spent annually under these MOUs to be reallocated to law enforcement investigative services reimbursement.
