Juvenile correctional system
Under current law, DHFS operates the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (center) as a juvenile secured correctional facility, to provide evaluations and treatment for juveniles whose behavior presents a serious problem to themselves or others in other juvenile secured correctional facilities and whose mental health needs can be met at the center. Currently, DOC is required to transfer to DHFS for those services certain amounts of general purpose revenues and program revenues specified in the statutes. This bill sets those amounts for fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07.
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:
