AB334,1,2
1An Act to amend 969.12 (2) of the statutes;
relating to: sureties in criminal
2cases.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who executes a bond to guarantee the appearance
of a criminal defendant a surety may not be compensated for acting as a surety. This
bill eliminates that prohibition.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB334, s. 1
3Section
