Section 55.01. Authority and purpose.

  This chapter specifies procedures for agencies to provide subsidized guardianship payments under s. 48.623 , Stats., or a subsidized guardianship agreement entered into under s. 48.62 (5) , 2009 Stats., to support legal permanence for care of children in any of the following:

(1)  Guardianships under s. 48.977 , Stats.

(2)  Guardianships under a Wisconsin tribal law that is substantially similar to s. 48.977 , Stats., and as provided for in an agreement that includes the purpose of making subsidized guardianship payments to a guardian of an Indian child and that is made between a tribe and a county or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, between a tribe and the department.

The date in a statutory citation means that was the last edition of the statutes in which that provision appears. In 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 , some paragraphs of s. 48.62 (5), 2009 Stats., were repealed and others were renumbered and amended to create s. 48.623, Stats., so s. 48.62 (5), 2009 Stats., last appeared in the 2009 edition of the statutes.
