1An Act to repeal 758.20 (2) (b);

2(2) (intro.) and (a); and
to create 758.20 (2m) of the statutes;
relating to:
3information contained in the Consolidated Court Automation Programs

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that, if an eviction action is dismissed, the director of state
courts must promptly redact the defendants' names from the case management
information for the eviction action from the Consolidated Court Automation
Programs Internet site (CCAP). Current law prohibits the director of state courts
from removing case management information from CCAP for an eviction action that
is not a closed, confidential, or sealed case for the following periods: 1) if a writ of
restitution has been granted, a period of at least ten years; and 2) if the eviction
action is dismissed and no money judgment is docketed, a period of at least two years.
The bill retains the first prohibition but eliminates the second.
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:
