A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5091 AS INTRODUCED 11-2-99
House Bill 5091 would add provisions to the Social Welfare Act to require that the Family Independence Agency (FIA) notify local law enforcement agencies of the name, address, and date of birth of juveniles when they are released from state detention facilities or training schools. The FIA would have to notify the local police department, if the juvenile lived in a city or village, and the county sheriff department, if the juvenile lived outside a city or village. The FIA would also be required to notify the appropriate entity when a juvenile changed addresses. In addition, the information concerning released juveniles would have to be updated no less than quarterly.
The FIA would also have to determine if juveniles who had been released from a state detention facility or training school had committed crimes after their release. The determination would have to include the number and types of crimes and the number of released juveniles who had committed them. The FIA would also be required to prepare a report of the determinations, and deliver it - before March 1 of each year - to the respective House and Senate subcommittees on appropriations for the department and to the House and Senate Fiscal Agencies.
