SB236,1,2
1An Act relating to: directing the federal COVID recovery rebates received by
2prisoners to restitution payments.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, all money delivered to a prison for a prisoner may be used
only under the direction of the superintendent or warden and only to pay certain
surcharges, to pay victim restitution, or for the benefit of the prisoner. This bill
requires that any federal COVID recovery rebates received by a person who is
incarcerated in this state must be used to pay any restitution the person has been
ordered to pay.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
