Tax revenue will help move delinquent 17-year-olds into juvenile detention
This week, Wisconsin state Senator Jon Erpenbach proposed a bill that would add an additional tax on video games and gaming equipment, like consoles and accessories.
The new tax would levy a 1% surcharge on the sale of video games and related equipment, with funds applied towards the cost of moving non-violent, delinquent 17-year-olds into the juvenile detention system, as they are currently treated, prosecuted, and incarcerated as adults.
