AB252,1,3
1An Act to renumber and amend 302.31; and
to create 302.31 (8) and 302.31
2(9) of the statutes;
relating to: housing of county prisoners from Michigan in
3Wisconsin county jails.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, county jails have the authority to use the county jail to
detain certain persons, including those charged with a crime, committed pursuant
to a sentence to the county jail or a state penal institution; persons participating in
the intensive sanctions program; and persons who are in the custody of the
Department of Corrections. This bill allows county jails to detain persons who are
detained by a county that borders this state and is located in the state of Michigan
if the counties involved enter into an interstate cooperation agreement that takes
into account all the requirements of Wisconsin law regarding the detention of
persons in county jails.
For further information see the 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
