Senator Harsdorf (R-River Falls) introduced Senate Bill 466 on December 18, which allows a public library to provide a collections agency or law enforcement agency with  information about patrons who have delinquent accounts. Under the bill, a delinquent account must total $50 before it can be referred to law enforcement.
