2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE
January 19, 2006 - Introduced by Representative Ziegelbauer. Referred to
Committee on Urban and Local Affairs.
AB924,1,2
1An Act to amend 814.66 (3) of the statutes;
relating to: use of the circuit court
2automation system by registers in probate.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, the register in probate is required to pay to the county treasurer the
fees he or she collects on the first Monday of each month. The county treasurer then
makes a report to the secretary of administration of the fees collected on the fifth day
of January, April, July, and October, sending 66.67 percent of the fees to state and
retaining the remainder for the county. However, the county treasurer's duties
require him or her to submit a report and appropriate fees to the secretary of
administration by the first day of each month. In addition, the clerk of circuit courts
is required to pay to the county treasurer all fees collected by the 15th of the month
following the receipt of the money.
This bill removes the requirement that the register in probate pay the money
to the county treasurer each month and the requirement that the county treasurer
make quarterly reports to the secretary of administration. The bill requires the
register in probate to use the circuit court automated information system for making
payments to the clerk of circuit court, who then makes the payments to the county
treasurer.
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:
