Assembly Bill 87 proposes amendments to Wisconsin statutes regarding restitution orders for human trafficking convictions and the restoration of voting rights for individuals with felony convictions. The bill mandates that if a defendant is sentenced or placed on probation for human trafficking, the court must require immediate payment of restitution. Should the defendant fail to pay immediately, the court is obligated to issue an execution against the defendant's property to enforce the restitution. This change aims to ensure that victims of human trafficking receive timely compensation for their losses.

Additionally, the bill modifies the conditions under which a person convicted of treason, felony, or bribery can have their voting rights restored. Currently, restoration occurs upon completion of the term of imprisonment or probation. The new language stipulates that, in addition to completing their sentence, individuals must also pay all associated fines, costs, fees, surcharges, and restitution, as well as complete any court-ordered community service related to their conviction. This amendment seeks to reinforce accountability and ensure that all financial obligations are met before voting rights are reinstated.
