Justice
This bill changes the information that DOJ must include in its report to DOA and JCF regarding restitution received by crime victims. Under the bill, the report must specify the total number of individuals who received restitution instead of identifying the individuals who received restitution and must provide the total amount paid to all recipients instead of providing the amount paid to each recipient.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 165.25 (10) of the statutes is amended to read:
165.25 (10) Report on restitution. Semiannually submit a report to the department of administration and the joint committee on finance regarding money received by the department of justice under a court order or a settlement agreement for providing restitution to victims. The report shall specify the amount of restitution received by the department of justice during the reporting period; the number of persons to whom the department of justice paid restitution and the total amount that the department of justice paid to each recipient all recipients during the reporting period; and the department of justice's methodology for selecting recipients and determining the amount paid to each recipient.
