Payments to DHS for services at Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center
Under current law, DOC must transfer certain amounts to DHS for services for juveniles placed at the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC). This bill replaces those specific amounts with a requirement that DOC reimburse DHS for the cost of providing those services at a per person daily cost (daily rate) specified by DHS. The bill maintains a requirement that DHS charge DOC not more than the actual cost of providing those services. The bill also authorizes DOC to charge counties the same daily rate for care in a Type 1 juvenile correctional facility as DHS charges DOC for MJTC services.
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:
Section
