2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE

2009 Senate BILL 83

February 20, 2009 - Introduced by Senators Leibham and Olsen, cosponsored by Representatives Bies, A. Ott, Spanbauer and Townsend. Referred to Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, Insurance, Campaign Finance Reform, and Housing.

SB83,1,1 An Act to create 968.255 (7) (e) of the statutes; relating to: strip searches.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides a number of restrictions on the manner in which strip searches and body cavity searches may be conducted. Those restrictions do not apply to certain searches of certain persons, such as a search of a person serving a sentence, pursuant to a conviction, in a jail, state prison, or house of correction. This bill provides an additional exception so that the restrictions on strip searches and body cavity searches do not apply to a search of a person who is found or alleged to have violated a condition of probation.

For further information see the state and local 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:
