AB419,1,2 An Act to amend 301.029 (2) (a) of the statutes; relating to: department of corrections contracts involving prisoner access to an individual's date of birth.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the department of corrections (DOC) is prohibited from entering into any contract that would result in a prisoner performing data entry or telemarketing services and having access to an individual's financial transaction card numbers, checking or savings account numbers, or social security number. This bill adds an individual's date of birth to the list of information that a prisoner may not have access to while doing data entry or telemarketing services under a contract entered into by DOC.

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:

AB419, s. 1 Section 1. 301.029 (2) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB419,2,2 301.029 (2) (a) The department may not enter into any contract or other agreement if, in the performance of the contract or agreement, a prisoner would perform data entry or telemarketing services and have access to an individual's financial transaction card numbers, checking or savings account numbers, date of birth, or social security number.
