Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under Wisconsin's Huber law, a person sentenced to a county jail or house of
correction may be allowed to leave the jail or house of correction to work, seek work,
attend school, receive medical treatment or handle family needs. Huber law
prisoners who receive wages, salary or unemployment compensation or employment
training benefits must make certain payments. The sheriff or other disbursing
authority must disburse the wages, salary or benefits for various purposes in a
specified priority order. The priorities are board payments (first priority), travel and
incidental expenses (2nd priority), child support (3rd priority), debt payments (4th
priority) and payments to the prisoner (5th priority). This bill makes the payment
of child support the first priority, followed by board payments (2nd priority), travel
and incidental expenses (3rd priority), support of dependents other than child
support (4th priority), debt payments (5th priority) and payments to the prisoner
(6th priority).
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
