Dane County Eliminates Various Judiciary Fees and Outstanding Debts
Last month, the Dane County Board of Supervisors discontinued the collection of fees and forgave any outstanding debts associated with a number of judiciary programs in the county.
Prior to this change, individuals and families were charged fees for their involvement in various programs both in the adult and juvenile judiciary systems in the county. Fees associated with youths in both the Shelter Home and Home Detention programs have been eliminated and any outstanding debts have been forgiven. This comes two years after a similar decision for youths being kept in the Juvenile Detention Center, thus eliminating all fees and debts associated with the Dane County Juvenile Court Program.
