Current law requires a state agency to enter into an agreement with DOR to have DOR collect debts owed to the agency that are more than 90 days past due, except under certain circumstances. This bill requires an agency to exclude certain debts from collection if the agency receives written notice from DOA or DOR identifying the specific debts for exclusion.
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. 71.93 (8) (b) 1. of the statutes is amended to read:
71.93 (8) (b) 1.

, or the agency receives written notice from the secretary of administration or the secretary of revenue identifying specific debts to be excluded from the agreement. At least 30 days before the department pursues the collection of any debt referred by a state agency, either the department or the agency shall provide the debtor with a written notice that the debt will be referred to the department for collection. The department may collect amounts owed, pursuant to the written agreement, from the debtor in addition to offsetting the amounts as provided under sub. (3). The department shall charge each debtor whose debt is subject to collection under this paragraph a collection fee and that amount shall be credited to the appropriation under s. 20.566 (1) (h).
