Huber release for individuals on probation, parole, or extended supervision
Under current law, a probationer who is detained in a county jail or other county facility for a probation violation may participate in Huber release for employment-related or medical purposes only if his or her probation is due to a misdemeanor conviction and the probation violation for which he or she is detained is not a crime.
This bill allows all probationers, parolees, and individuals on extended supervision who are detained pending disposition of revocation proceedings, investigation of a rule violation, or for a short-term sanction to participate in Huber release for any Huber purpose.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
