WI SB302

Department of Corrections must award performance grants to adult probation and parole offices that increase employment rates among supervised individuals in their regions compared to a baseline average from fiscal years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24

Grant amounts calculated by multiplying the percentage point improvement in employment rates by the number of supervised individuals in the region, then multiplying by $2,500

Regional offices must use grant funds exclusively for employee bonuses; offices are disqualified from grants if their region had an increase in revocations for new crimes in the previous fiscal year

"Eligible employment" defined as at least 130 documented wage-earning hours in a 30-day period, maintained for at least 9 months during the fiscal year

DOC must publish annual outcome-based measures including employment rates, recidivism data by employment status, program changes, and estimated correctional cost savings, with reports to the Joint Committee on Finance beginning 19 months after enactment
