SB676,1,3
1An Act to create 758.20 of the statutes;
relating to: removing certain
2information contained in the Consolidated Court Automation Programs
3Internet site.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires certain information to be removed from the Consolidated
Court Automation Programs (CCAP).
Under current law, CCAP contains information about civil and criminal cases
filed in the circuit courts in this state, including information about the parties and
their attorneys; documents filed; and deadlines, decisions, and outcomes of cases.
The information on CCAP is available for free on an Internet site. CCAP allows a
user to search for all civil and criminal cases in which a person or entity, who is the
subject of the search, has been a party.
Under this bill, the director of state courts must remove from CCAP's Internet
site all information regarding a civil case if all money judgments entered against a
party in the case are satisfied in full, and seven years have passed since the date on
which the judgment was satisfied in full.
For further information see the state 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:
