program DATCP must give preference to school districts that have a high percentage
of students who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals under federal law.
Farm to Fork grant program
The bill creates a farm to fork program, similar to the existing farm to school

SENATE BILL 111
County land conservation staff for climate change activities
Under current law, as part of the soil and water resource management program,
DATCP provides funding to counties for county conservation staffing. Current law
specifies the activities in which county conservation staff may engage with funding
provided under this program. The bill provides that this program may be used to
fund county conservation staff who focus on climate change and climate change
resiliency. The bill also creates an appropriation specifically for this purpose. A
county that seeks funding for this purpose must specifically indicate as such in its
annual grant request.
Concentrated animal feeding operations
Under current law, a person who operates a concentrated animal feeding
operation (CAFO) must have a Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(WPDES) permit from DNR. A CAFO is a livestock operation that contains at least
1,000 animal units, that discharges pollutants into a navigable water, or that
contaminates a well. Current law requires a CAFO operator with a WPDES permit
to pay an annual fee of $345 to DNR. The bill increases the amount of this annual
fee to $545. The bill also requires a CAFO operator applying for a new WPDES
permit to pay a $3,270 application fee.
Water stewardship certification
The bill creates a grant program for DATCP to provide grants to reimburse the
costs for agricultural producers to apply for a certification of water stewardship from
the Alliance for Water Stewardship. The grants must be made directly to the
producer, and may not be used to pay the costs of operational changes needed to
achieve certification.
Planning grants for establishing regional biodigesters

The bill authorizes the State Fair Park Board to promulgate rules governing
the use of State Fair Park. Under current law, the board may not promulgate rules
unless a law specifically authorizes the board to do so.
Bonding for soil and water resource management
The bill increases the general obligation bonding authority for the soil and
water resource management program by $7,000,000. The program, which is
administered by DATCP, awards grants to counties to help fund their land and water
conservation activities.
Appropriation limit for the producer-led watershed protection grant
program
DATCP administers the producer-led watershed protection grant program,
which provides grants to groups of farmers in the same watershed to implement
nonpoint source pollution abatement activities. Under current law, DATCP may not
allocate more than $750,000 per fiscal year for this program. The bill increases that
maximum amount to $1,000,000.

Implementation by DFI of section 529A ABLE savings account program
The bill requires DFI to implement a qualified ABLE program under section
529A of the Internal Revenue Code allowing tax-exempt accounts for qualified
expenses incurred by individuals with disabilities.
Under current federal law, states may create a qualified Achieving a Better Life
Experience program under which an individual may establish a tax-exempt savings
account to pay for qualified expenses, such as education, housing, and transportation
costs, for a beneficiary who is an individual with disabilities, as defined under federal
law. Although these accounts, commonly referred to as “ABLE accounts” or “section
529A accounts,” cannot be established under this state's law, they can be established
under another state's law, and if so established, withdrawals from these accounts for
payment of qualified disability expenses for the account beneficiary are exempt from
taxation in this state.
The bill requires DFI to implement and administer a qualified ABLE program,
either directly or by entering into an agreement with another state or alliance of
states to establish an ABLE program or otherwise administer ABLE program
services for the residents of this state. DFI must, within approximately nine months,
determine whether implementing the ABLE program directly or by entering into an
agreement is the best option for this state's residents. If DFI enters into an
agreement, the agreement may require the party contracting with DFI to do any of
the following: 1) develop and implement an ABLE program in accordance with all
requirements under federal law and modify the ABLE program as necessary for
participants to qualify for federal income tax benefits; 2) contract for professional
and technical assistance and advice in developing marketing plans and promotional
materials to publicize the ABLE program; 3) work with organizations with expertise
in supporting people with disabilities and their families in administering the
agreement and ensuring accessibility of the ABLE program for people with
disabilities; or 4) take any other action necessary to implement and administer the
ABLE program. The bill also requires DFI to provide on its website information
concerning ABLE accounts.
Children's savings and investment program
The bill requires DFI to collaborate with one or more philanthropic
organizations to develop a statewide children's savings and investment program,
funded and administered by the philanthropic organization or organizations. The
program must allow the balance of an account established under the program to be
transferred to a College Savings Program (commonly known as Edvest) account.

SENATE BILL 111
Current law generally requires a securities broker-dealer and a person who
represents a broker-dealer or issuer in securities transactions (securities agent) to
be licensed, and generally requires an investment adviser and an investment adviser
representative to be licensed, before transacting business in this state.
Broker-dealers and investment advisers must pay to DFI initial and renewal license
fees of $200. Securities agents and investment adviser representatives must pay to
DFI initial and renewal license fees of $80. Although an investment adviser
registered with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission (federal covered
adviser) is not required to be licensed by DFI, it must pay to DFI an initial and
renewal notice filing fee of $200. In addition, broker-dealers and investment
advisers, including federal covered advisers, that maintain a branch office in this
state must pay a filing fee of $80 for each branch office.
The bill increases each of these fees, from $200 to $300 and from $80 to $100.
Notary public application fees
Under current law, any U.S. resident who is licensed to practice law in this state
is entitled to a permanent commission as a notary public upon application to DFI and
payment of a $50 fee. In addition, any U.S. resident who is at least 18 years of age
and who is not an attorney may file an application with DFI for a four-year
appointment as a notary public and must pay a $20 application fee. The bill increases
the application fee for attorneys from $50 to $100 and increases the application fee
for nonattorneys from $20 to $40.
Information related to public service loan forgiveness programs
The bill requires DFI to collect, maintain, and make available information
regarding student loan forgiveness programs available to employees of the state or
a local unit of government.

appropriation that allows DFI to expend federal moneys received by DFI for the
purposes for which the federal moneys were received; and 2) a program revenue
appropriation that allows DFI to expend moneys received by DFI from other state
agencies or from within DFI for the purpose of administering programs or projects
for which the moneys were received.

Changing the minimum age for cigarettes, tobacco products, and nicotine
products; imposing a minimum age for vapor products
The bill changes the age for purchasing cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine
products from 18 to 21, and imposes the same minimum age for purchasing vapor
products. Nicotine products are products that contain nicotine and that are not
tobacco products, cigarettes, or products that have been approved by the federal Food

and Drug Administration for sale as a smoking cessation product. Tobacco products
include products such as cigars, chewing tobacco, and smoking tobacco. Vapor
products are noncombustible products that produce a vapor or aerosol for inhalation
from the application of a heating element, regardless of whether the liquid or other
substance contains nicotine.
Currently, no person under the age of 18 may purchase, attempt to purchase,
possess, or falsely represent his or her age for the purpose of receiving any cigarette,
nicotine product, or tobacco product with certain limited exceptions. Current law
also prohibits any person from purchasing cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine
products on behalf of a person who is under the age of 18 and subjects that purchaser
to a penalty. Current law also prohibits a person from delivering a package of
cigarettes unless the person making the delivery verifies that the person receiving
the package is at least 18 years of age. The bill changes these ages from 18 to 21.
The bill similarly prohibits the purchase of vapor products by or on behalf of a person
who is under the age of 21.
Current law prohibits a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, jobber, subjobber,
or independent contractor or an employee or agent of any of these persons from
selling or providing cigarettes or tobacco or nicotine products to an individual who
is under the age of 18 and from providing cigarettes or tobacco or nicotine products
to any person for free unless the cigarettes or products are provided in a place where
persons under 18 years of age are generally not permitted to enter. Current law also
prohibits a retailer or vending machine operator from selling cigarettes or tobacco
or nicotine products from a vending machine unless the retailer or vending machine
operator ensures that no person under 18 years of age is present on or permitted to
enter the premises in which the machine is located. The bill changes these ages from
18 to 21. The bill similarly prohibits the sale or provision of vapor products to a
person who is the age of 21.
Retailer license requirement for vapor product sellers
The bill requires a person who sells vapor products to obtain an annual
cigarette and tobacco products retailer license from the clerk of the city, village, or
town in which the retailer is located.
Restrictions on placement of cigarettes, nicotine products, or tobacco
products
The bill allows a retailer to place cigarettes, nicotine products, or tobacco
products only in locations that are inaccessible to customers without the assistance
of the retailer or the retailer's employee or agent, such as behind the counter or in
a locked case. The bill's restriction does not apply to 1) cigarettes, nicotine products,
or tobacco products sold in a vending machine; 2) a retail location that generates 75
percent or more of its revenue from sales of cigarettes, nicotine products, or tobacco
products, as long as the retail location prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from
entering without a parent, guardian, or spouse who has reached that age; or 3) cigars
that are placed in a separate, humidity-controlled room in a retail location if the
entrance to the room is visible, either directly or by video surveillance, from the
check-out area and no person under the age of 21 is permitted to enter the room

SENATE BILL 111
without a parent, guardian, or spouse who has reached that age. Current law
imposes restrictions on sales from a vending machine that the bill does not affect.
A retailer who violates the bill's restriction is subject to the same penalties that
apply to violations of other restrictions that apply to retailers of cigarettes or tobacco
products, including 1) a forfeiture of not more than $500, if the retailer has not
committed a previous violation within 12 months; 2) a forfeiture of not less than $200
nor more than $500, if the retailer has committed a previous violation within 12
months; and 3) suspension of the retailer's license for a period of time that depends
on the number of previous violations committed by the retailer.
The bill also allows a first class city, which currently includes only Milwaukee,
to suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a cigarette and tobacco products retailer
license if the retailer violates the bill's restriction, by following the complaint and
hearing procedure that exists under current law for certain other violations and
activities.
Unfair drug pricing practices and fraudulent drug advertising
The bill prohibits unfair drug pricing practices, which are defined as drug
pricing practices that cause substantial injury to consumers that is not outweighed
by countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition. Under the bill, DATCP
and district attorneys may seek injunctions in circuit court to restrain violations of
the prohibition, and DATCP may investigate alleged violations and promulgate rules
related to the prohibition.
The bill also authorizes DATCP to promulgate rules to enforce prohibitions
against fraudulent drug advertising. Current law generally prohibits a person from
making untrue, deceptive, or misleading representations about the effects of a drug
or making representations about the effects of a drug unless it is lawfully marketed
under federal law.
Prohibiting discrimination in broadband and broadband subscriber rights
The bill prohibits a broadband service provider from denying access to a group
of potential residential customers because of their race or income. Under the bill,
DATCP has authority to enforce the prohibition and to promulgate related rules. The
bill also authorizes any person affected by a broadband service provider who violates
the prohibition to bring a private action.
The bill also establishes various requirements for broadband service providers,
including requiring them to 1) provide service satisfying minimum standards
established by PSC and allow subscribers to terminate contracts if broadband
service fails to satisfy those standards; 2) provide service as described in
advertisements or representations made to subscribers; 3) repair broadband service
within 72 hours after a subscriber reports an interruption that is not the result of a
major system-wide or large area emergency; 4) give subscribers credit for
interruptions of broadband service that last more than 4 hours in a day; and 5) give
subscribers at least 30 days' advance written notice before instituting a rate
increase.
The bill also requires each internet service provider in this state to register with
PSC.

SENATE BILL 111
Extended closing hours during special events
Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may sell alcohol
beverages to a consumer unless the seller possesses a license or permit authorizing
the sale. A Class “B" license authorizes the retail sale of fermented malt beverages
(beer) for consumption on or off the premises. A “Class B" license authorizes the
retail sale of intoxicating liquor, which includes wine and distilled spirits, for
consumption on the licensed premises and, subject to restrictions, the retail sale of
intoxicating liquor in original packages for consumption off the licensed premises.
A “Class C" license, which may be issued only for a restaurant, authorizes the retail
sale of wine for consumption on the premises. A retailer operating under a Class “B,"
“Class B,” or “Class C” license may not remain open between the hours of 2 a.m. and
6 a.m. on weekdays or between 2:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The bill allows a municipality to designate by ordinance a special event lasting
fewer than eight consecutive days during which closing hours for premises that
obtain a special event permit from the municipality and that are operating under a
Class “B,” “Class B,” or “Class C” license in the municipality are extended. Under
the bill, the municipality may extend the closing hour for such premises to no later
than 4 a.m. during the special event. A municipality may not designate more than
four special events in a calendar year.
Sales of alcohol beverages at State Fair Park
The bill allows a person approved by the State Fair Park Board to sell, without
a license or permit, alcohol beverages for consumption at the state fair park. The bill
specifies that the State Fair Park Board may not grant such approval unless the
person meets certain eligibility requirements applicable to retail licensees and that
such approval is also required for retail sales by brewers and brewpubs at State Fair
Park.
DOR publication of list of alcohol beverage retail licensees
The bill requires DOR to publish a list of retail licensees on DOR's website.
Under current law, DOR issues alcohol beverage permits and municipalities issue
alcohol beverage licenses. Each municipality must annually provide DOR with a list
of the municipality's retail licensees, including name, address, and type of license.
The bill requires DOR to publish this list on DOR's website.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
WEDC venture capital fund of funds program
The bill directs WEDC to establish and administer a fund of funds program to
invest in venture capital funds that invest in Wisconsin businesses. The bill requires
WEDC to create a fund of funds that will continuously reinvest its assets and to
create an oversight board whose duties include contracting with an investment
manager.
The bill directs the oversight board to establish investment policies for the
program. Under the bill, the program's moneys must be committed for investment
to venture capital funds no later than 60 months after the fund of funds is created
and no more than $25,000,000 may be invested in any single venture capital fund.
The bill requires that at least 20 percent of the investments made through the

capital fund that receives moneys through the program. The contract must require
the venture capital fund to do all of the following:
1. Make new investments in an amount equal to the moneys it receives through
the program in businesses who are headquartered, and whose operations are
primarily, in Wisconsin.
2. At least match the amount it receives through the program and invests in
a business with an investment in that same business of moneys from sources other
than the program. The investment manager must ensure that, on average, for every
$1 a venture capital fund receives through the program and invests in a business,
the venture capital fund invests $2 in that business from sources other than the
program.
3. Provide the investment manager with the information necessary to complete
the reports described below.
The bill requires the investment manager to annually submit to WEDC an
audit of the investment manager's financial statements, the rate of return from
investments made through the program, and information on each venture capital
fund participating in the program and business in which investment were made.
WEDC must submit this information to the legislature. The bill also requires the
investment manager to submit quarterly reports to the oversight board.
Changes to the state main street program
Under current law, WEDC is required to establish and administer a state main
street program to coordinate state and local participation in programs offered by the
national main street center to assist municipalities in planning, managing, and
implementing programs for the revitalization of commercial areas having historical
significance. Under the current state main street program, WEDC is required to do
all of the following:
1. Contract with the national main street center for services related to
revitalizing commercial areas having historical significance.
2. Develop a plan describing the objectives of the state main street program and
the methods by which WEDC will carry out certain responsibilities specified by law.
3. Coordinate with other state and local public and private entities in relation
to the state main street program.
4. Annually select, upon application, up to five municipalities to participate in
the state main street program. The program for each municipality concludes after
five years. The corporation is required to select program participants representing
various geographical regions and populations.
5. Develop objective criteria for use in selecting participants in the state main
street program.

6. Provide training, technical assistance, and information on the revitalization
of commercial areas that have historical significance to municipalities not
participating in the state main street program.
7. Annually expend at least $250,000 annually on the state main street
program.
The bill substantially replaces WEDC's duties under the state main street
program and instead requires WEDC, in accordance with guidelines of the national
main street center, to assist municipalities in planning, managing, and
implementing programs for the revitalization of downtown areas and historic
commercial districts, including by doing all of the following:
1. Assisting communities in restoring and retaining the historic character of
their downtown areas and historic commercial districts.
2. Promoting business investment, assisting in retaining existing small
businesses, and promoting new businesses in downtown areas and historic
commercial districts.
3. Assisting in strengthening the local tax base.
4. Assisting in the creation of employment opportunities in downtown areas
and historic commercial districts.
5. Enhancing the economic viability of downtown areas and historic
commercial districts.
The bill also requires WEDC to annually select, upon application, up to five new
municipalities to participate in the state main street program, but a municipality's
participation in the program is not limited to five years. The bill continues to require
the corporation to provide related training, technical assistance, and information to
municipalities not participating in the state main street program.
Finally, under the bill, WEDC is no longer required to expend up to $250,000
annually on the state main street program.
Wage thresholds for business development and enterprise zone tax credits
The bill raises the minimum wage thresholds for the business development and
enterprise zone tax credits for businesses that enter into contracts with WEDC after
December 31, 2021. Under current law, WEDC may certify businesses that engage
in qualifying activities, including full-time job creation and retention, to claim the
credits. One requirement for claiming either credit is that the business enter into
a contract with WEDC. In its contracts, WEDC uses a definition of “full-time
employee” that means an individual who, among other things, is paid at least 150
percent of the federal minimum wage. The bill changes this minimum wage
threshold to $27,900 for the business development tax credit and to $27,900 in a tier
I county or municipality and $37,000 in a tier II county or municipality for the
enterprise zone tax credit, with all these amounts adjusted annually for inflation.
Additionally, under current law, the enterprise zone tax credit is partially based on
the wages paid to zone employees that are at least 150 percent of the federal
minimum wage in a tier I county or municipality or $30,000 in a tier II county or
municipality. The bill changes these thresholds to $27,900 and $37,000, with both
amounts adjusted annually for inflation.

SENATE BILL 111
The bill also modifies the maximum wage earnings limit for businesses that
enter into contracts with WEDC after December 31, 2021. Under current law, the
maximum wage earnings that may be considered per employee for the enterprise
zone tax credit is $100,000. The bill increases this amount to $123,000, which is
adjusted annually for inflation, and establishes the same dollar amount limit for the
business development tax credit.
Designation of enterprise zones
Current law allows WEDC to designate an unlimited number of enterprise
zones, with each designation subject to approval by JCF under passive review.
Current law also provides that an enterprise zone expires after 12 years and, upon
such expiration,WEDC may designate a new zone subject to JCF approval.
The bill authorizes WEDC to designate up to 30 enterprise zones and repeals
the requirement that WEDC receive approval from JCF. Under the bill, WEDC may
cancel the designation of an enterprise zone if WEDC revokes the certifications for
all tax benefits within the zone and may designate a new zone after the cancellation.
The bill also provides that if an enterprise zone expires under the contract with the
business certified to claim tax benefits, WEDC may designate a new zone, and
WEDC is provided this authority on a retroactive basis.
Financial assistance for underserved communities
The bill requires WEDC to expend $5,000,000 annually to provide grants,
loans, and other assistance to underserved communities in Wisconsin, including
members of minority groups, woman-owned businesses, and individuals and
businesses in rural areas.
Funding for regional economic development organizations to assist with
pandemic recovery
The bill appropriates $8,000,000 to WEDC in the 2021-22 fiscal year to provide
funding to organizations focused on local or regional economic development in this
state for the purpose of assisting Wisconsin businesses and nonprofits in their
recovery from the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Small business pandemic recovery
The bill requires WEDC to aid in Wisconsin's economic recovery from the
COVID-19 global pandemic by providing financial assistance to small businesses
adversely affected by the pandemic, including for the retention of current employees
and the rehiring of former employees. The bill requires WEDC to coordinate with
DOR as necessary to administer the aid.
Creative economy development initiative grants
The bill authorizes the Arts Board to award grants on a competitive basis in the
2021-23 fiscal biennium to businesses, whether operated for profit or not for profit,
local governmental agencies, and business development organizations or
associations that work to promote any of the following in Wisconsin:
1. Individuals or organizations whose products or services have an origin in
artistic, cultural, creative, or aesthetic content.
2. Job creation.
3. Economic development.

4. Arts education.
5. Workforce training and development.
Under the bill, such a grant may not exceed $40,000, and the bill prohibits the
Arts Board from awarding a grant unless the proposed grant recipient has secured
from nonstate sources an amount equal to at least twice the amount of the proposed
grant. Under the bill, the Arts Board may award up to a total of $500,000 in such
grants during the 2021-23 fiscal biennium.
Finally, the bill requires the Arts Board to submit a report to JCF by May 1,
2023, regarding the effectiveness of the grants.
WHEDA investment in small businesses
The bill authorizes WHEDA to annually invest up to $1,000,000 of its general
funds in businesses and startup companies that, among other conditions, have fewer
than 50 full-time employees or gross annual sales of less than $5,000,000. Under
current law, WHEDA may not invest more than $1,000,000 in total in these entities,
and the entities must, among other conditions, have fewer than 25 full-time
employees or gross annual sales of less than $2,500,000.
Cooperative feasibility grants
The bill directs WEDC, for each year of the 2021-23 fiscal biennium, to award
up to $200,000 in grants for cooperative feasibility studies. The bill requires WEDC
to make the awards in consultation with the Cooperative Network.
Tribal economic development
The bill requires WEDC to establish and administer programs that promote
small business economic development benefitting American Indian tribes or bands
in the state.
Energy efficiency and renewable energy project expenditures for the
business development tax credit
The bill adds a new category of expenditures that qualify for the business
development tax credit. Under current law, WEDC may award the tax credit to a
certified business based on its qualifying expenses related to job creation and
retention, employee training, capital investment, and corporate headquarters
location or retention in Wisconsin. Under the bill, WEDC may also award the tax
credit on the basis of a certified business's energy efficiency or renewable energy
project expenditures. The credit is up to 25 percent of the expenditures, with WEDC
directed under the bill to ensure that the percentage of expenditures taken into
account positively correlates to the scale of the project. The bill applies to credits
awarded after December 31, 2021.
Modifications to brownfield grant program
Under current law, WEDC administers a brownfields grant program and a
brownfield site assessment grant program to provide grants for developing property
adversely impacted by environmental contamination and conducting related
activities. One condition for awarding a grant is that the person who caused the
environmental contamination and, for the brownfields grant program, any person
who possessed or controlled the contaminant prior to its release must be unknown,
unable to be located, or financially unable to pay remediation or other specified costs.
- 17 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
Under the bill, this condition does not apply if WEDC determines that the case has
received sufficient closure from DNR. The bill specifies that a brownfields grant
recipient may not be the party who caused the environmental contamination, which
is a condition that already applies to brownfield site assessment grant recipients
under current law. The bill also provides that, when making a grant under the
brownfields grant program, WEDC must consult with DNR, rather than consider
DNR's recommendations as required under current law.
Financing working capital costs of certain nonprofit institutions
Under current law, WHEFA may issue bonds to finance certain projects of
health, educational, research, and other nonprofit institutions. The bill authorizes
WHEFA to issue bonds for the purpose of financing such institutions' working capital
costs.
Business development tax credit changes
Under current law, the tax benefits WEDC may award to a person certified
under the business development tax credit program include an amount equal to up
to 50 percent of the person's training costs incurred to undertake activities to
enhance an eligible employee's general knowledge, employability, and flexibility in
the workplace; to develop skills unique to the person's workplace or equipment; or
to develop skills that will increase the quality of the person's product. Under the bill,
that criterion for awarding business development tax credits is changed to an
amount equal to up to 50 percent of the person's training costs incurred to undertake
activities to upgrade or improve the job-related skills of an eligible employee, train
an eligible employee on the use of job-related new technologies, or provide
job-related training to an eligible employee whose employment with the person
represents the employee's first full-time job.
Also, under current law, the tax benefits WEDC may award to a person certified
under the business development tax credit program include an amount determined
by WEDC that is equal to a percentage of the amount of wages that the person paid
to an eligible employee in the taxable year, if the position in which the eligible
employee was employed was created or retained in connection with the person's
location or retention of the person's corporate headquarters in Wisconsin and the job
duties associated with the eligible employee's position involve the performance of
corporate headquarters functions. Under the bill, WEDC may award business
development tax credits under that criterion regardless of whether the job duties
associated with the eligible employee's position involve the performance of corporate
headquarters functions.
Base year for the enterprise zone tax credit
The bill modifies the definition of “base year” for purposes of the enterprise zone
tax credit. The amount of the credit for job creation or retention depends, in part,
on the number of the business's employees in the taxable year as compared to the
number of employees in the base year. Current law defines “base year” to mean the
taxable year beginning during the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which
the enterprise zone was created. For businesses that enter into contracts with
WEDC after December 31, 2021, the bill defines “base year” as the 12-month period
prior to the date on which the claimant was certified to claim the tax credit.

Information sharing between WEDC and DOR
The bill allows WEDC and DOR to enter into an agreement under which WEDC
may obtain copies of tax returns and related documents from DOR. The bill also
authorizes WEDC to examine tax returns and related documents held by DOR to the
extent necessary to administer WEDC's economic development programs. Under
current law, WEDC's examination authority is limited to the development zone
program.
Modifications to WEDC reporting requirements
The bill modifies WEDC's reporting requirements to the legislature. First, the
bill alters the requirement that WEDC, prior to the beginning of each calendar year,
report to the legislature on the economic development projects it intends to develop
and implement during the year. Under the bill, the reporting period is the fiscal year,
not the calendar year. Second, the bill repeals the requirement that WEDC report
to the legislature on the economic development tax credit program. This program
ended in 2015, and tax year 2019 is the final year for which taxpayers may claim the
credit under contracts with WEDC.
Increase to WEDC GPR appropriation
The bill increases from $16,512,500 per fiscal year under current law to
$25,012,500 in the 2021-22 fiscal year and $20,012,500 in the 2022-23 fiscal year
the amount WEDC may expend from its GPR appropriation for its economic
development programs.
Changes to WEDC's appropriation from the economic development fund
Current law appropriates moneys to WEDC from the economic development
fund for WEDC's operations and to fund its economic development programs. An
economic development surcharge administered by DOR funds the economic
development fund. Currently, the total amount WEDC may expend from the
economic development fund is limited to surcharge amounts deposited into the fund
by DOR and is limited by the amount of moneys appropriated from the fund to DOR
for purposes of administering the economic development surcharge.
Under the bill, WEDC may expend all moneys from the economic development
fund not expended by DOR for purposes of administering the economic development
surcharge. Those moneys include interest and earnings of the fund and
unencumbered amounts lapsed to the fund at the end of each fiscal year from DOR's
annual appropriation for administration of the economic development surcharge.

CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM
ADULT CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM
Extended supervision
Under current law, when a person is sentenced to prison, the person is given a
bifurcated sentence, with the first portion of the sentence served in confinement in
prison and the second portion of the sentence served in the community on extended
supervision. DOC may not discharge a person from extended supervision until the
entire term of the bifurcated sentence is completed. Under certain circumstances,
the sentencing court may reduce the confinement portion of the bifurcated sentence,
but current law does not allow the sentencing court to reduce the period of extended
supervision. The bill allows the sentencing court to reduce the term of a person's
extended supervision if all of the following apply:
1. The person has served the lesser of three years or 50 percent of the term of
extended supervision without violating the conditions and rules of supervision.
2. The person has met all of his or her financial obligations to the victim of the
crime.
3. The person is not required to register as a sex offender and is serving a
sentence for a crime that is not a crime against life or bodily security or a specified
crime against a child.
Earned compliance credit
The bill creates an earned compliance credit for time spent on extended
supervision or parole. Under current law, a person's extended supervision or parole
may be revoked if he or she violates a condition of the extended supervision or parole.
If extended supervision or parole is revoked, the person is returned to prison for an
amount of time up to the length of the original sentence, less any time actually served
in confinement and less any credit for good behavior. Under current law, when
extended supervision or parole is revoked, the time spent on extended supervision
or parole is not credited as time served under the sentence.
Under the bill, an eligible inmate receives an earned compliance credit for time
served on extended supervision or parole. The earned compliance credit equals the
amount of time served on extended supervision or parole without violating any
conditions or rules of extended supervision or parole. Under the bill, a person is
eligible to receive the earned compliance credit only if the person is not required to
register as a sex offender and is serving a sentence for a crime that is not a specified

violent crime or a specified crime against a child. Under the bill, if a person's
extended supervision or parole is revoked, he or she may be incarcerated for up to
the length of the original sentence, less any credit for time served in confinement, any
credit for good behavior, and any earned compliance credit.
Revocation of probation, parole, or extended supervision
Under current law, if a person violates a condition or rule of probation, parole,
or extended supervision, the Division of Hearings and Appeals (DHA) in DOA, or
DOC if a hearing is waived, may revoke that person's probation, parole, or extended
supervision and return the person to confinement. Under the bill, a person's
probation, parole, or extended supervision may not be revoked for a rule violation
unless one of the following conditions is met:
1. The person committed three or more independent rule violations during his
or her term of probation, parole, or extended supervision.
2. The person violated a condition prohibiting contact with a specified
individual.
3. The person is a registered sex offender.
4. When the person committed the rule violation, the person also allegedly
committed a crime.
5. The person failed to report for supervision for more than 60 consecutive days.
Sanctions for violating a condition or rule of probation, parole, or extended
supervision
Under current law, if a person admits to violating a rule or condition of
probation, parole, or extended supervision, DOC may sanction the person with
imprisonment for up to 90 days instead of revoking probation, parole, or extended
supervision. The bill changes the sanction procedure.
Under the bill, if the person does not admit to committing the rule violation,
DHA holds a hearing on the violation. If DHA determines that the person committed
the violation, DHA may sanction the person with imprisonment for up to 30 days, or
up to 90 days if the rule violation meets the grounds for revocation. Under the bill,
if the person admits to the alleged rule violation, DOC may impose the 30-day or
90-day sanction without a hearing.
Earned release
Under current law, an eligible inmate may earn early release to parole or
extended supervision by successfully completing a substance abuse program. An
inmate is eligible for earned release only if the inmate is serving time for a crime that
is not a violent crime and, for an inmate who is serving a bifurcated sentence, the
sentencing court determines that the inmate is eligible.
The bill expands the earned release program to include educational, vocational,
treatment, or other qualifying training programs that are evidence-based to reduce
recidivism. The bill also provides that DOC, not the sentencing court, determines
eligibility for all inmates.
Reports
The bill requires DOC to submit the following annual reports to the governor,
the legislature, and the director of state courts:
- 21 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
1. A report on early discharges from extended supervision and the reduction
in incarceration due to the earned compliance credit.
2. A report on the expanded earned release program.
3. A report on revocation of parole, extended supervision, and probation.
Each of these annual reports is required to include an accounting of the cost
savings resulting from the relevant programs under the bill. The bill requires DOC
use the amount of the cost savings reported to pay for the extended supervision,
earned release, and revocation programs under the bill.
The bill also requires DOC to conduct a onetime review and report to the
governor, the legislature, and the director of state courts on all of the following:
1. The efficacy of DOC's standard conditions and rules of supervision.
2. DOC's evidence-based risk assessment tool.
3. DOC's training of community supervision officers.
4. The aging and elderly population in Wisconsin's prisons and possible options
for alternatives to prison for that population.
Reduction of mandatory minimum sentences
Under current law, a sentencing court may reduce the confinement portion of
a bifurcated sentence if the inmate qualifies for a sentence adjustment, earned
release, or compassionate release.
In State v. Grazma, 2020 WI App 100, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals limited
the sentencing court's ability to reduce the confinement portion of a bifurcated
sentence if the person was serving a sentence for a crime that carried a mandatory
minimum term of confinement. The court held that under the earned release
program, an inmate's term of confinement may not be reduced below an applicable
mandatory minimum sentence. The bill specifies that an inmate's term of
confinement may be reduced below a mandatory minimum if the inmate qualifies for
a reduction based on a sentence adjustment, earned release, or compassionate
release.
Sentencing for youthful offenders
Under current law, a person who is under the age of 17 and is alleged to have
violated a criminal law is generally under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and,
upon being adjudged delinquent of such an act, is subject to one of the dispositions
under the Juvenile Justice Code. However, a person who is age 10 or older who is
alleged to have committed certain crimes may be under the jurisdiction of the
criminal court and, upon conviction, subject to sentencing under the criminal code.
The bill creates a sentence adjustment procedure for a “youthful offender,”
defined under the bill as a person who committed a crime before he or she turned 18
years old and is subject to sentencing by the criminal court. The bill prohibits a court
from sentencing a youthful offender to life imprisonment without the possibility of
parole or release to extended supervision, and creates new mitigating factors in the
sentencing criteria when sentencing a youthful offender. Finally, the bill eliminates
statutory mandatory life sentences without parole for youthful offenders in order to
align with federal constitutional law.
Under current law, an inmate can petition to reduce the confinement portion
of his or her bifurcated sentence after serving a certain proportion of the sentence.
- 22 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
An inmate who is serving a life sentence can petition to be released to extended
supervision or parole after serving at least 20 years of his or her sentence or after
another date set by the sentencing court. The bill creates a new procedure for a
youthful offender, including a youthful offender who is serving a life sentence, to
receive a sentence adjustment after serving 15 years of his or her sentence. Under
the bill, one year before the inmate is eligible to petition for the sentence adjustment,
DOC is required to notify the youthful offender of his or her eligibility. The court may
reduce the term of imprisonment for the youthful offender and may modify the
conditions of parole or extended supervision if the court determines that the interests
of justice warrant a reduction, taking into account the factors enumerated in the bill.
If the court denies the petition under the bill, the youthful offender may petition
again every five years, up to five times. Under the bill, DOC is required to send a
notice to all youthful offenders who have served at least 14 years of their sentences
within six months after the bill takes effect.
Under current law, when a court makes a sentencing decision, it must consider
certain guidelines, including whether there were any aggravating factors present.
Under the bill, when a court is sentencing a youthful offender, it must also consider
mitigating factors related to the age and maturity of the youthful offender. These
sentencing guidelines for youthful offenders take effect retroactively under the bill,
meaning that they apply to any conviction for which sentencing has already
occurred.
Under current law, if a person is convicted of a serious felony on three separate
occasions or a serious child sex offense on two separate occasions, the person is
subject to a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole or extended
supervision. However, in Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012), the U.S. Supreme
Court held that imposing a mandatory life sentence without parole for a minor
constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and therefore violates the eighth
amendment of the Constitution. The bill clarifies that the statutory mandatory
sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or extended
supervision for repeat offenders does not apply to youthful offenders. The bill also
prohibits a court from imposing a life sentence without the possibility of parole or
extended supervision for a youthful offender. These changes to sentencing also apply
retroactively under the bill.
Treatment of pregnant and postpartum person in prison and jail
The bill limits the use of physical restraints on pregnant and postpartum people
who are in the custody of a correctional facility. Under the bill, a pregnant person
may not be restrained unless the restraints are reasonably necessary for the
legitimate safety and security needs of the person, correctional staff, other inmates,
or the public, and any restraints used must be the least restrictive possible under the
circumstances. In addition, the bill requires that every woman in the custody of a
correctional facility be offered testing for pregnancy, and, if pregnant, be offered
testing for sexually transmitted infections. The bill also requires the correctional
facility where the pregnant or postpartum person is being confined to provide
information related to pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period, and to provide

access to certain health services related to pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum

Huber release for individuals on probation, parole, or extended supervision
Under current law, a probationer who is detained in a county jail or other county
facility for a probation violation may participate in Huber release for
employment-related or medical purposes only if his or her probation is due to a
misdemeanor conviction and the probation violation for which he or she is detained
is not a crime.
The bill allows all probationers, parolees, and individuals on extended
supervision who are detained pending disposition of revocation proceedings,
investigation of a rule violation, or for a short-term sanction to participate in Huber
release for any Huber purpose.
Baccalaureate degree program for prisoners
The bill requires the UW System and DOC to provide a baccalaureate degree
program for prisoners. Prior to expending any funds appropriated for such a
program, the UW System and DOC must submit a plan for implementing the
program to DOA for approval.
Reimbursement for law enforcement investigative services
Under current law, DOC must reimburse counties for certain expenses related
to an action or proceeding involving a prisoner in a state prison or a juvenile in a
juvenile correctional facility in the county. The bill adds that DOC must also
reimburse any county, city, village, or town that provides law enforcement
investigative services for an incident involving a prisoner in a state prison or a
juvenile in a juvenile correctional facility.
JUVENILE CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM
Age of adult court jurisdiction
Under current law, a person who is alleged to have violated a criminal law is
generally subject to the jurisdiction of the criminal court if the person is at least 17
years old, and is subject to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court if the person is under
the age of 17. A person who is under the jurisdiction of the criminal court is subject
to the procedures specified in the Criminal Procedure Code and, on conviction, is
subject to sentencing under the Criminal Code. A person who is under the
jurisdiction of the juvenile court is subject to the procedures specified in the Juvenile
Justice Code and, on being adjudicated delinquent, is subject to an array of
dispositions under that code. The bill raises from 17 to 18 the age at which a person
who is alleged to have violated a criminal law is subject to the jurisdiction of the
criminal court and, on conviction, to sentencing under the Criminal Code.
Similarly, under current law, a person who is alleged to have violated a civil law
or municipal ordinance is subject to the jurisdiction and procedures of the circuit
court or the municipal court, if the person is at least 17 years old, and, with certain
exceptions, is subject to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court if the person is under
the age of 17. The bill raises from 17 to 18 the age at which a person who is alleged
to have violated a civil law or municipal ordinance is subject to the jurisdiction and
procedures of the circuit court or, if applicable, the municipal court.

federal criminal law or any civil law or municipal ordinance at age 17.
Age of delinquency
Under current law, a child age 10 or over may be adjudged delinquent by the
juvenile court for an act that would be a crime if committed by an adult. Under the
bill, only a child age 12 or over may be adjudged delinquent by the juvenile court for
an act that would be a crime if committed by an adult.
Adult court jurisdiction over a juvenile
Under current law, the juvenile court generally has exclusive jurisdiction over
a juvenile, who is a person under the age of 17 who is alleged to have violated a
criminal law. However, under certain circumstances, a juvenile may automatically
be under the jurisdiction of the adult court or may be waived into adult court
jurisdiction through a petition to the court. The bill changes the circumstances for
adult court jurisdiction over a juvenile.
Original jurisdiction of the adult court over a juvenile
The bill eliminates original adult court jurisdiction over a juvenile. Under
current law, the adult court has original jurisdiction over a juvenile who meets any
of the following criteria:
1. A juvenile who is over the age of 10 and is alleged to have committed or
attempted to commit first-degree intentional homicide or committed first-degree
reckless homicide or second-degree homicide.
2. A juvenile who is alleged to have committed assault or battery while placed
in a secured juvenile facility or to have committed battery against a probation,
aftercare, community supervision, parole, or extended supervision officer.
3. A juvenile who is alleged to have attempted or committed a violation of any
state criminal law in addition to an offense listed under item 1 or item 2, if the
violations may be joined into a single criminal case.
4. A juvenile who has previously come under the jurisdiction of the adult court.
Waiver petition for adult court jurisdiction over a juvenile
Under current law, a juvenile may be waived into adult court jurisdiction by a
petition filed by the district attorney or the court itself. A petition may be filed if the
juvenile is at least 15 years old and is alleged to have violated any state criminal law,
or if the juvenile is at least 14 years old and is alleged to have committed certain
felonies involving the use of force, is alleged to have manufactured, distributed, or
delivered a controlled substance, or is alleged to have committed certain felonies at
the request of or for the benefit of a criminal gang.
Under the bill, a waiver petition may be filed for a juvenile who is at least 16
years old and is alleged to have violated any state law that would be a felony if
committed by an adult. Under the bill, a 14-year-old or 15-year-old may be waived
into adult court if he or she is alleged to have committed a violation that would grant
original adult court jurisdiction over a juvenile under current law, or that would

allow for a 14-year-old to be waived by petition into adult court under current law,
except for the manufacture, distribution, or delivery of a controlled substance.
Elimination of Serious Juvenile Offender Program
Under current law, a dispositional order entered under the Juvenile Justice
Code imposing a correctional placement for a juvenile who has been adjudged
delinquent generally terminates no later than the juvenile's 18th birthday and may
not be extended. Under the bill, such an order generally terminates no later than
the juvenile's 19th birthday. However, if the juvenile is placed in the Serious Juvenile
Offender Program (SJOP), the dispositional order extends for up to three years,
regardless of the age of the juvenile at the time the order is entered, or, if the juvenile
has committed an act that would be punishable by life imprisonment if committed
by an adult, until the juvenile reaches 25 years of age. Under current law, DOC is
required to administer the SJOP and may provide sanctions for a juvenile under
SJOP other than confinement in a juvenile correctional facility, including intensive
supervision, electronic monitoring, alcohol or other drug abuse treatment and
services, mental health treatment and services, community service, restitution, and
education and employment services.
The bill eliminates SJOP as an available disposition for a juvenile adjudicated
delinquent under the Juvenile Justice Code.
Extended juvenile jurisdiction
The bill creates extended juvenile jurisdiction (EJJ) for juveniles who are
alleged delinquent for the commission of certain acts, which allows the disposition
under the Juvenile Justice Code to extend beyond a juvenile's 19th birthday. Under
the bill, if a juvenile meets the requirements for waiver of juvenile court jurisdiction,
the district attorney or the juvenile may instead petition the juvenile court to place
the juvenile under EJJ or the court may initiate such a proceeding on its own motion.
In order to grant EJJ, the court must find that the juvenile qualifies for waiver, that
the juvenile qualifies for a correctional placement, if adjudged delinquent for the
alleged acts, and that a correctional placement is insufficient to protect public safety
or for rehabilitation of the juvenile. These findings must be made on clear and
convincing evidence at a hearing to the court. If the court grants EJJ, the juvenile
is entitled to a jury trial and the court may, after trial, impose any juvenile disposition
that it deems appropriate.
The bill creates a new juvenile disposition that may be used only for juveniles
subject to EJJ. The extended juvenile disposition is available only to juveniles who
are given a juvenile correctional placement and for whom the court finds that the
correctional placement alone is insufficient to protect public safety or for
rehabilitation of the juvenile. In this case, the court may impose an extended
juvenile disposition, which has the same force and effect as a criminal sentence, after
a juvenile correctional placement terminates on the juvenile's 19th birthday. The
extended juvenile disposition may not extend beyond the juvenile's 23rd birthday
unless the juvenile is adjudicated delinquent for first-degree intentional homicide,
in which case the extended juvenile disposition may extend to the juvenile's 25th
birthday. The extended juvenile disposition is stayed in the original juvenile
dispositional order until a hearing is held between the juvenile's 18th and 19th
- 26 -

birthdays. The court must dismiss the extended juvenile disposition unless it finds,
by clear and convincing evidence presented at the hearing, that the juvenile
continues to pose a risk to the public, considering the juvenile's risk and treatment
needs at the time of the hearing.
If the court upholds the extended juvenile disposition after the hearing, the
court determines whether to impose probation or confinement in jail or prison and
imposes the sentence. If the juvenile is on aftercare supervision, the court may only
impose probation. Under the bill, DOC is charged with promulgating rules for
release to extended juvenile supervision or discharge of individuals on an extended
juvenile disposition. An extended juvenile disposition is not subject to the
requirements of bifurcated sentencing, but a juvenile who violates a condition of
probation or extended supervision under an extended juvenile disposition may have
his or her probation or extended supervision revoked after a hearing held by the
Division of Hearings and Appeals in DOA. If probation is revoked, the juvenile may
be sent back to the court to determine the term of confinement in jail or prison.
Closure of Lincoln Hills and Copper Lakes schools
2017 Wisconsin Act 185 required DOC to close the current Type 1 juvenile
correctional facilities known as Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake schools no later than
January 1, 2021. 2019 Wisconsin Act 8 extended this date to July 1, 2021. The bill
removes the deadline for these facilities to be closed and provides instead that DOC
must close the facilities as soon as all the juveniles who are placed there are
transferred out to a substitute placement, which must happen as soon as a substitute
placement that meets the needs of each juvenile is ready.
2019 Wisconsin Act 8 provided that DOC may, within its discretion, transfer
juveniles out of Lincoln Hills or Copper Lake to a juvenile detention facility that is
approved to receive placements of juveniles for more than 30 days. Under Act 8, all
juveniles who are transferred to a juvenile detention facility using this procedure are
required to be transferred into a secured residential care center for children and
youth (SRCCCY) or a new Type 1 juvenile correctional facility no later than July 1,
2021. The bill specifies that juveniles who are transferred to a juvenile detention
facility using this procedure are required to be transferred into an SRCCCY or a new
Type 1 juvenile correctional facility as soon as a substitute placement that meets the
needs of each juvenile is ready.
Juvenile correctional facilities
Under current law, the juvenile court may place a juvenile in a Type 1 juvenile
correctional facility under the supervision of DOC or an SRCCCY under the
supervision of a county department of human or social services if the juvenile is
adjudged delinquent for an act that would be punishable by a sentence of six months
or more if committed by an adult or is found to be a danger to the public.
Under current law, upon the closure of the Lincoln Hills and Copper Lakes
Schools, each county must provide an SRCCCY to hold juveniles who are placed
under county supervision in secured custody. Under current law, an SRCCCY may
have less restrictive physical security barriers than a Type 1 juvenile correctional
facility and must provide trauma-informed, evidence-based programming and
- 27 -

SENATE BILL 111
services. Under current law, DOC must open one or more new Type 1 juvenile
correctional facilities to replace the Lincoln Hills and Copper Lakes Schools.
The bill removes the requirement for DOC to establish one or more Type 1
juvenile correctional facilities and instead authorizes DOC to establish and operate
an SRCCCY. The bill also eliminates the term “Type 1 juvenile correctional facility.”
Under current law, after the closure of the Lincoln Hills and Copper Lakes
Schools, a juvenile who is adjudged delinquent for an act that would be punishable
by a sentence of six months or more if committed by an adult and who is found to be
a danger to the public may be placed in an SRCCCY under the supervision of a county
department but not under the supervision of DOC. The bill allows such a juvenile
to be placed under the supervision of DOC in an SRCCCY run by DOC after the
closure of the Lincoln Hills and Copper Lakes Schools.
Type 2 status
Under current law, any secured or nonsecured facility that holds a juvenile with
a Type 2 status is referred to as a Type 2 juvenile correctional facility or a Type 2
residential care center for children and youth (collectively, Type 2 facility). A Type
2 facility is operated in a manner that is less restrictive than a Type 1 juvenile
correctional facility or an SRCCCY. Under current law, DOC may place a juvenile
under its supervision under Type 2 status, and the juvenile court may place a
juvenile under the supervision of a county department in a Type 2 residential care
center for children and youth. A juvenile subject to Type 2 status may be placed in
a Type 2 facility or under aftercare or community supervision. The juvenile is subject
to certain conditions for maintaining Type 2 status. If the juvenile violates the
conditions of Type 2 status, the juvenile may be moved to a Type 1 juvenile
correctional facility or an SRCCCY without a change in placement hearing.
The bill eliminates eliminates Type 2 status and Type 2 facilities from the
Juvenile Justice Code.
Placement of juveniles in a juvenile detention facility
The bill eliminates as an available disposition under the Juvenile Justice Code
the placement of a juvenile in a juvenile detention facility or juvenile portion of a
county jail for more than 30 days. Under current law, the juvenile court may place
a juvenile that has been adjudicated delinquent in a juvenile detention facility or
juvenile portion of a county jail for up to 30 days or, if the facility is eligible, up to 365
days. A juvenile detention facility is eligible to accept a juvenile for more than 30
days if 1) prior to January 1, 2018, the county board of supervisors of the county
operating the facility has adopted a resolution authorizing such a placement and 2)
the county has not been awarded a grant under the juvenile corrections grant
program, which provides funding for the establishment of an SRCCCY.
Status violations
Under current law, a juvenile adjudged delinquent or to have committed a civil
law or municipal ordinance violation, including a habitual truancy violation, who
violates a condition of his or her dispositional order is subject to various sanctions,
including placement in a juvenile detention facility or a place of nonsecure custody
for not more than 10 days. Also under current law, a juvenile adjudged delinquent
who violates a condition of his or her delinquency order or aftercare supervision may,
- 28 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
without a hearing, be placed in a juvenile detention facility or a place of nonsecure
custody for not more than 72 hours (short-term detention) during an investigation
of the violation and potential sanctions or as a consequence of that violation. The bill
eliminates placement in a juvenile detention facility as a sanction or for short-term
detention unless the juvenile court finds that the juvenile poses a threat to public
safety and the underlying offense for which the juvenile court order was imposed is
not a status offense. The bill defines a status offense as an offense committed by a
juvenile that would not be an offense if committed by an adult (for example, truancy).
Community supervision and aftercare supervision
Under current law, when a juvenile who is placed under the supervision of DOC
under the Juvenile Justice Code is released from a juvenile correctional facility, DOC
provides community supervision for the juvenile until DOC discharges the juvenile
from supervision. When a juvenile who is placed under the supervision of a county
department is released from a juvenile correctional facility or an SRCCCY, the
county department provides aftercare supervision for the juvenile until the county
department discharges the juvenile from supervision. The bill eliminates
community supervision for a juvenile and requires a county department to provide
aftercare supervision for any juvenile who is released from a juvenile correctional
facility or an SRCCCY.
Use of restraints on a child
The bill generally prohibits the use of restraints on anyone under the age of 18
when appearing before the juvenile court or criminal court. The bill provides that,
upon a request of the district attorney, corporation counsel, or other appropriate
county official, a court may order the use of restraints on a child if, after a hearing,
it issues written findings of fact showing that the use of restraints is necessary under
certain conditions. The bill also requires that any restraints used on a child must
allow limited movement of the hands and prohibits the use of fixed restraints that
are attached to a wall, floor, or furniture.
Daily rates for juvenile correctional services
Current law establishes at $615 the per person daily rate paid by counties to
DOC for services provided to juveniles in a Type 1 juvenile correctional facility (daily
rate). The bill eliminates the daily rate set in statute and requires DOC to specify
the daily rate. Under current law and the bill, these payments are credited to a DOC
appropriation for juvenile correctional services. Under current law, if there is a
deficit in that appropriation account at the close of the fiscal biennium, the governor
must increase the daily rate by $6 in the executive budget bill for each fiscal
biennium until the deficit is eliminated. Under the bill, in the case of such a deficit,
the secretary of corrections may increase the daily rate and the daily cost assessment
for counties for care in a foster home, group home, or residential care center for
children and youth and for community supervision services by $6 until the deficit is
eliminated.
Payments to DHS for services at Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center
Under current law, DOC must transfer certain amounts to DHS for services for
juveniles placed at the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC). The bill
- 29 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
replaces those specific amounts with a requirement that DOC reimburse DHS for the
cost of providing those services at a per person daily rate specified by DHS. The bill
maintains a requirement that DHS charge DOC not more than the actual cost of
providing those services. The bill also authorizes DOC to charge counties the same
daily rate for care in a Type 1 juvenile correctional facility as DHS charges DOC for
MJTC services.
Juvenile correctional services deficit relief
The bill creates an appropriation from the general fund to DOC for juvenile
correctional services if the amount in the juvenile correctional services appropriation
under current law is insufficient. The current law juvenile correctional services
appropriation is funded by various program receipts.
COURTS AND PROCEDURE
PUBLIC DEFENDER
Public defender private attorney rate increases for inflation
Under current law, for any case assigned on or after January 1, 2020, the rate
at which the public defender must pay a private local attorney to whom a case is
assigned is $70 per hour for time spent related to the case, excluding travel, and $25
per hour for time spent in travel related to the case.
The bill provides that the rate at which the public defender must pay a private
local attorney to whom a case is assigned on or after January 1, 2020, must be
adjusted biennially by a percentage that correlates with the federal Department of
Labor's consumer price index. Under the bill, the first of these adjustments will be
made on July 1, 2023.
CIRCUIT COURTS
Statutory addition of circuit court branches designated to begin operation
in 2021
The bill adds four new circuit court branches to the statutory list of judicial
circuit branches, as authorized by the Director of State Courts and designated to
begin operation in 2021.
Current law contains a list that sets forth the number of branches each judicial
circuit has. 2019 Wisconsin Act 184 authorized the Director of State Courts to add
four circuit court branches, by November 14, 2020, to begin operation on August 1,
2021. Act 184 further authorized the Director of State Courts to allocate one of the
newly authorized branches to any county the Director of State Courts determined to
be in need of an additional circuit court branch, but only if the county passed a
resolution requesting an additional circuit court branch and established, or will have
established by May 31, 2021, the appropriate infrastructure to support an additional
circuit court branch. Act 184 also authorized the Director of State Courts to require
any county, as a condition for receiving a circuit court branch allocation, to have
established or to apply for a grant to establish a drug court. In March 2020, the
Director of State Courts allocated new circuit court branches to Calumet, Dunn,
Jackson, and Marathon Counties. The bill updates the list of circuit court branches
to reflect the additional four circuit court branches allocated by the Director of State
Courts and authorized to begin operation on August 1, 2021.

GENERAL COURTS AND PROCEDURE
Extreme risk protection injunctions
Under current law, a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm and must
surrender all firearms if the person is subject to a domestic abuse injunction, a child
abuse injunction, or, in certain cases, a harassment or an individuals-at-risk
injunction. If a person surrenders a firearm because he or she is subject to one of
those injunctions, the firearm may not be returned until a court determines that the
injunction has been vacated or has expired and that the person is not otherwise
prohibited from possessing a firearm. A person who possesses a firearm in violation
of the injunction is guilty of a Class G felony.
The bill creates an extreme risk protection temporary restraining order and an
extreme risk protection injunction. Such an order or injunction prohibits a person
from possessing a firearm because he or she is a danger to himself or herself or
another. Under the bill, only a law enforcement officer or a family or household
member of the person may file a petition for an extreme risk protection injunction.
If a court receives such a petition, the court must schedule an injunction hearing.
The court also must issue a temporary restraining order prohibiting the person from
possessing a firearm and ordering the person to surrender all firearms if the court
finds reasonable grounds that the person is substantially likely to injure himself or
herself or another person if he or she possesses a firearm. If a temporary restraining
order is issued, it remains in effect until the injunction hearing. At the injunction
hearing, the court may grant an extreme risk protection injunction ordering the
person to refrain from possessing a firearm and to surrender all firearms if the court
finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person is substantially likely to injure
himself or herself or another person if the person possesses a firearm. Under the bill,
an extreme risk protection injunction is effective for up to one year and may be
renewed. A person who is subject to an extreme risk protection injunction may
petition to vacate the injunction. A person who possesses a firearm in violation of
an extreme risk protection temporary restraining order or injunction is guilty of a
Class G felony.
Under the bill, a person who files a petition for an extreme risk protection
injunction, knowing the information in the petition to be false, is guilty of the crime
of false swearing, a Class H felony.
Qui tam actions for false claims
The bill restores a private individual's authority to bring a qui tam claim
against a person who makes a false or fraudulent claim for medical assistance, which
was eliminated in 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, and further expands qui tam actions to
include any false or fraudulent claims to a state agency. A qui tam claim is a claim
initiated by a private individual on his or her own behalf and on behalf of the state
- 31 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
against a person who makes a false claim relating to medical assistance or other
moneys from a state agency. The bill provides that, of moneys recovered as a result
of a qui tam claim, a private individual may be awarded up to 30 percent of the
amount recovered, depending upon the extent of the individual's contribution to the
prosecution of the action. The individual may also be entitled to reasonable expenses
incurred in bringing the action, as well as attorney fees. The bill also includes
additional changes not included in the prior law to incorporate provisions enacted
in the federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and conform state law to the federal False
Claims Act, including expanding provisions to facilitate qui tam actions and
modifying the bases for liability to parallel the liability provisions under the federal
False Claims Act. DOJ also has independent authority to bring a claim against a
person for making a false claim for medical assistance. The bill modifies provisions
relating to DOJ's authority to parallel the liability and penalty standards relating
to qui tam claims and to parallel the forfeiture amounts provided under the federal
False Claims Act.
CRIMES
Expungement of criminal records
Under current law, a court may order a person's criminal record expunged of a
crime if all of the following apply: 1) the maximum term of imprisonment for the
crime is not more than six years, which is a Class H felony and below; 2) the person
committed the crime before the age of 25; 3) the person had not been previously
convicted of a felony; and 4) the crime was not a violent felony. Current law specifies
that the expungement order must be made only at sentencing and then the record
is expunged when the person completes his or her sentence. If the court does not
order expungement at sentencing, the record may not be expunged.
The bill removes the condition that the person committed the crime before the
age of 25 (the bill retains the other requirements that the crime be no greater than
a Class H felony, the person had no previous felony convictions, and the crime was
not a violent felony) and makes certain traffic crimes ineligible for expungement.
The bill also provides that, if the sentencing court did not order the record expunged,
the person may file a petition with the sentencing court after he or she completes his
or her sentence. Upon receipt of the petition, the court must review the petition and
then may order the record expunged or may deny the petition. If the court denies the
petition, the person may not file another petition for two years, and no person may
file more than two petitions per crime. The changes described in this paragraph
retroactively apply to persons who were convicted of a crime before the bill takes
effect.
The bill also allows the sentencing court to order that a person's record not be
eligible for expungement.
The bill provides that, if a record is expunged of a crime, that crime is not
considered a conviction for employment purposes and specifies that employment
discrimination because of a conviction record includes requesting a person to supply
information regarding a crime if the record has been expunged of the crime.

SENATE BILL 111
Drug paraphernalia
Under current law, it is a crime to use, possess, manufacture, or deliver drug
paraphernalia. Drug paraphernalia is anything that is used in planting,
propagating, cultivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding,
converting, producing, processing, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging,
repackaging, storing, containing, concealing, or introducing into the human body a
controlled substance. Drug paraphernalia excludes hypodermic syringes, needles
and other objects used in parenterally injecting substances into the human body, and
any items that are designed for use with tobacco products. Under the bill, drug
paraphernalia also excludes any materials used to test for the presence of fentanyl
in a substance.
Maximum penalty for a Class D felony
The bill reduces the maximum sentence for a Class D felony. Under current law,
the sentencing court has discretion in setting the length of confinement and the
length of extended supervision, but both the total length of the sentence and the
length of extended supervision are capped on the basis of the classification of the
crime committed, and generally the length of confinement may not be more than 75
percent of the total sentence. The bill reduces the length of the total possible
sentence for a Class D felony from 25 years to 20 years and the length of possible
extended supervision from 10 years to 5 years.
Penalty for bail jumping
Under current law, bail jumping means failure to comply with the terms of a
bond after being released from custody in a pending criminal matter. Bail jumping
for a defendant who has been released on bond after being charged with a crime is
a Class A misdemeanor if the offense with which the defendant is charged is a
misdemeanor and a Class H felony if the offense with which the defendant is charged
is a felony, and bail jumping for a witness for whom bail has been required is a Class
I felony. Under the bill, any bail jumping violation is a Class A misdemeanor,
regardless of the underlying offense or whether the individual is a defendant or
witness.
Alternatives to prosecution for disorderly conduct
The bill creates a requirement that a prosecutor offer to certain disorderly
conduct defendants a deferred prosecution agreement or an agreement in which the
defendant stipulates to his or her guilt of a noncriminal ordinance violation. Under
the bill, a prosecutor must offer such options to a person who has committed a
disorderly conduct violation if it is the person's first disorderly conduct violation, the
person has not committed a similar violation previously, and the person has not
committed a felony in the previous three years. Under the bill, if the person is offered
a deferred prosecution agreement, he or she must be required to pay restitution, if
applicable.
Immunity for certain controlled substances offenses
Current law grants immunity from prosecution for possessing a controlled
substance to a person, called an aider, who summons or provides emergency medical
assistance to another person because the aider believes the other person is suffering
- 33 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

SENATE BILL 111
from an overdose or other adverse reaction to a controlled substance. Under 2017
Wisconsin Act 33, an aider was also immune from having probation, parole, or
extended supervision revoked for possessing a controlled substance under the same
circumstances. Act 33 also granted the aided person immunity from having
probation, parole, or extended supervision revoked for possessing a controlled
substance when an aider seeks assistance for the aided person. The immunity
applied only if the aided person completes a treatment program as part of his or her
probation, parole, or extended supervision. Act 33 also provided that a prosecutor
must offer an aided person who is subject to prosecution for possessing a controlled
substance a deferred prosecution agreement if the aided person completes a
treatment program.
The expanded immunities under 2017 Wisconsin Act 33 were temporary, and
expired on August 1, 2020. The bill permanently restores these expanded
immunities from 2017 Wisconsin Act 33.
EDUCATION
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION: GENERAL SCHOOL AIDS AND REVENUE LIMITS
Two-thirds funding for school districts; appropriation for general school
aid
Currently, the amount appropriated each fiscal year for general school aid is a
sum set by law. Beginning in the 2021-22 school year, the bill directs DPI, DOA, and
the Legislative Fiscal Bureau annually to jointly certify to JCF an estimate of the
amount necessary to appropriate in the following school year to ensure that general
school aids equal two-thirds of partial school revenues (in general, the sum of state
school aids and school property taxes). Under the bill, JCF determines the amount
appropriated as general school aids in each odd-numbered fiscal year and the
amount is set by law in each even-numbered fiscal year.
School district revenue limits; per pupil increase
Current law generally limits the total amount of revenue per pupil that a school
district may receive from general school aids and property taxes in a school year to
the amount of revenue allowed per pupil in the previous school year plus a per pupil
adjustment, if any, as provided by law. In the 2020-21 school year, the per pupil
adjustment was a $179 increase. Under current law, there is no per pupil adjustment
in the 2021-22 school year and thereafter.
For purposes of calculating school district revenue limits, the bill provides a per
pupil increase of $200 for the 2021-22 school year and $204 for the 2022-23 school
year. Under the bill, in the 2023-24 school year and thereafter, the per pupil
adjustment is the per pupil increase for the previous school year as adjusted for any
increase in the consumer price index.
School district revenue limits; number of pupils enrolled in the 2020-21
school year
One factor used to calculate a school district's revenue limit is a three-year
rolling average of the school district's pupil enrollment. For example, both the
average of a school district's 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21 pupil enrollments and
the average of the school district's 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22 pupil enrollments
- 34 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
will be used to calculate the school district's 2021-22 school year revenue limit. In
each applicable school year, a school district's pupil enrollment is based on a pupil
count that occurs on the third Friday in September and 40 percent of the school
district's summer school enrollment.
Under the bill, for purposes of determining a school district's revenue limit in
the 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24 school years, a school district's pupil enrollment
for the 2020-21 school year is the sum of the pupil count that occurred on the third
Friday of the 2019-20 school year or the 2020-21 school year, whichever is greater
and 40 percent of the school district's summer enrollment in the 2019-20 school year
or 2020-21 school year, whichever is greater.
Low revenue ceiling; per pupil amount
Current law provides a minimum per pupil revenue limit for school districts,
known as the revenue ceiling. Under current law, the per pupil revenue ceiling is
$10,000 in the 2020-21 school year and each school year thereafter. The bill
increases the per pupil revenue ceiling to $10,250 for the 2021-22 school year and
to $10,500 for the 2022-23 school year and each school year thereafter.
Low revenue ceiling; restrictions
Current law provides that during the three school years following a school year
in which an operating referendum fails in a school district, the school district's
revenue ceiling is the revenue ceiling that applied in the school year during which
the referendum was held. The bill eliminates the provision under which a school
district's revenue ceiling is the revenue ceiling from a previous school year because
an operating referendum failed in the school district.
Special adjustment aid; 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years
Under current law, a school district is guaranteed an amount of general
equalization aid equal to at least 85 percent of the amount it received in the previous
school year. Under the bill, in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years, a school district
is guaranteed an amount of general equalization aid that is equal to at least 90
percent of the amount the school district received in the 2020-21 school year. The
guaranteed percentage returns to 85 percent in the 2023-24 school year.
Counting pupils enrolled in four-year-old kindergarten
The bill changes how a pupil enrolled in a four-year-old kindergarten is
counted by a school district for purposes of state aid and revenue limits. Under
current law, a pupil enrolled in a four-year-old kindergarten program is counted as
0.5 pupil unless the program provides at least 87.5 additional hours of outreach
activities, in which case the pupil is counted as 0.6 pupil. Under the bill, if the
four-year-old kindergarten program requires full-day attendance by pupils for five
days a week, a pupil enrolled in the program is counted as one pupil.
Eliminate delay of general aid payment
Under current law, DPI generally distributes state aid to school districts
quarterly according to the following schedule: 1) 15 percent of a school district's total
aid entitlement on the third Monday of September; 2) 25 percent on the first Monday
of December; 3) 25 percent on the fourth Monday of March; and 4) 35 percent on the
third Monday of June. However, under current law, the state delays paying
- 35 -

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
$75,000,000 of all state aid for a school year until the fourth Monday of July after the
end of the school year and reduces the amounts of all quarterly payments
proportionally to reflect the delayed payment amount. The bill eliminates the
delayed payment so that all state aid is paid on the regular quarterly schedule.
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION: CATEGORICAL AIDS
Funding for special education and school age parents programs
The bill changes the rate at which the state reimburses school boards, operators
of independent charter schools, cooperative educational service agencies (CESA),
and county children with disabilities education boards for costs incurred to provide
special education and related services to children with disabilities and for school age
parents programs (eligible costs). Under current law, the full cost of special
education for children in hospitals and convalescent homes for orthopedically
disabled children is reimbursed. After those costs are paid, the remaining eligible
costs are reimbursed from the amount remaining in the appropriation account at a
rate that distributes the full amount appropriated. DPI estimates that, in the
2020-21 school year, the reimbursement rate is about 28 percent.
The bill changes the appropriation to a sum sufficient and provides that, after
full payment of hospital and convalescent home costs, the remaining eligible costs
are reimbursed at the following rates:
1. In the 2021-22 school year, 45 percent of eligible costs.
2. In the 2022-23 school year and in each school year thereafter, 50 percent of
eligible costs.
Currently, DPI provides 1) special education aid to school districts, independent
charter schools, CESAs, and CCDEBs; 2) aid to school districts, CESAs, and
CCDEBs for providing physical or mental health treatment services to private school
and tribal school pupils; and 3) aid for school age parent programs to school districts
only.
Per pupil aid
Under current law, per pupil aid is a categorical aid paid to school districts. Per
pupil aid is funded from a sum sufficient appropriation and is not considered for
purposes of revenue limits. Under current law, the amount of per pupil aid paid to
a school district is calculated using a three-year average of the number of pupils
enrolled in the school district and a per pupil amount set by law. In the 2020-21
school year, the per pupil amount is $742. Under the bill, the per pupil amount is
increased to $750 in the 2021-22 school year and each year thereafter.
In addition, beginning in the 2021-22 school year, the bill requires DPI to pay
a second amount of per pupil aid to school districts that is based on the number of
economically disadvantaged pupils enrolled in a school district. Under the bill,
beginning in the 2021-22 school year, in addition to the base amount of per pupil aid,
DPI must also pay a school district $75 for each economically disadvantaged pupil
enrolled in the school district in the previous year. However, in calculating this
amount for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years, DPI must use the number of
economically disadvantaged pupils enrolled in a school district in the 2019-20 school
year instead of in the previous school year. Under the bill, an economically
disadvantaged pupil is a pupil who satisfies either the income eligibility criteria for
- 36 -

SENATE BILL 111
a free or reduced-price lunch under federal law or other measures of poverty, as
determined by DPI.
Supplemental per pupil aid
The bill eliminates supplemental per pupil aid, which was created under 2019
Wisconsin Act 9, the 2019 biennial budget.
Sparsity aid
The bill extends sparsity aid to school districts with a membership of more than
745 pupils.
Under current law, a school district is eligible for sparsity aid in the amount of
$400 per pupil if the school district's membership in the previous school year did not
exceed 745 pupils and the number of pupils per square mile in the school district is
less than 10. Current law also provides that a school district that was eligible to
receive sparsity aid in the previous school year but is not eligible to receive sparsity
aid in the current school year because the school district's membership exceeds 745
pupils in the current school year is eligible to receive up to 50 percent of the amount
of sparsity aid the school district received in the previous school year.
Under the bill, beginning in the 2021-22 school year, a school district with the
same density of pupils per square mile, i.e., less than 10, and a membership that
exceeds 745 pupils is eligible for sparsity aid in the amount of $100 per pupil. The
bill also provides that, beginning in the 2021-22 school year, a school district that is
ineligible for sparsity aid because it no longer satisfies the pupils-per-square-mile
requirement may receive 50 percent of the amount of sparsity aid the school district
received in the previous school year.
Limited-English proficient pupils; categorical aid
The bill changes the way that state categorical aid for educating
limited-English proficient pupils (LEP) is allocated.
Under current law, a school board is required to provide a bilingual-bicultural
education program to LEP pupils who attend a school in the school district if the
school meets any of the following thresholds:
1. Within a language group, 10 or more LEP pupils are enrolled in kindergarten
to grade three.
2. Within a language group, 20 or more LEP pupils are enrolled in grades four
to eight.
3. Within a language group, 20 or more LEP pupils are enrolled in grades nine
to 12.
All school boards are required to educate all LEP pupils, but only school boards
that are required to provide bilingual-bicultural education programs are eligible
under current law for categorical aid targeted toward educating LEP pupils.
Under current law, in each school year, DPI distributes $250,000 among eligible
school districts whose enrollments in the previous school year were at least 15
percent LEP pupils, and DPI distributes the amount remaining in the appropriation
account to eligible school districts on the basis of the school districts' expenditures
on the required bilingual-bicultural education programs during the prior school
year.

LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
The bill expands eligibility for categorical aid to independent charter schools
and eliminates the limitation that only school boards that are required to provide
bilingual-bicultural education programs are eligible for categorical aid. Under the
bill, beginning in the 2022-23 school year, a school board that had at least one LEP
pupil enrolled in the school district in the prior school year, and the operator of an
independent charter school that had at least one LEP pupil attending the charter
school in the prior school year, receives $10,000. In addition, if the school board or
operator had more than 20 LEP pupils, the school board or operator receives an
additional $500 per LEP pupil above 20.
The bill also provides a temporary hold harmless provision for a school board
that would receive less categorical aid under the new funding scheme:
1. In the 2022-23 school year, a school board receives the greater of a) the
amount to which the school board is entitled under the new funding scheme, or b) an
amount equal to the amount of categorical aid the school board received in the
2020-21 school year.
2. In the 2023-24 school year, a school board receives the amount to which the
school board is entitled under the new funding scheme. In addition, if that amount
is less than the amount the school board received in the 2020-21 school year, the
school board also receives an amount equal to 50 percent of the difference between
the amount to which the school board is entitled under the new funding scheme and
the amount the school board received in the 2020-21 school year.
If, in any fiscal year, there are insufficient funds to provide the total categorical
aid amount, DPI must prorate the payments.
Capacity-building grants to increase licensure of bilingual teachers and
English as a second language teachers
The bill creates a grant program under which DPI may award grants, in
amounts determined by DPI, to school districts and independent charter schools to
provide support and financial assistance to their staff and teachers in obtaining
licensure or certification as bilingual teachers and teachers of English as a second
language.
Aid for pupil transportation
The bill increases the reimbursement rate to school districts and independent
charter school operators, beginning in the 2021-22 school year, for transporting a
pupil who lives more than 12 miles from the school the pupil attends from $365 per
school year to $375 per school year. Under current law, a school district that provides
transportation to pupils to and from summer classes may be reimbursed for certain
transportation costs, but, if a pupil is transported fewer than 30 days, that aid is
proportionately reduced. The bill eliminates the requirement that DPI reduce the
amount of state aid a school district receives for transporting a pupil if the pupil is
transported fewer than 30 days.
High cost transportation aid
Under current law, a school district that qualified for high cost transportation
aid in the previous school year but did not qualify in the current school year is eligible
to receive aid equal to 50 percent of the high cost transportation aid the school district
received in the previous school year, commonly called a “stop-gap” payment.

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
However, current law provides that, if the total amount of stop-gap payments to all
school districts in a school year exceeds $200,000, DPI must prorate the payments.
The bill eliminates that cap and instead provides that, if the total amount of high cost
transportation aid, including stop-gap payments, for a school year exceeds the
amount appropriated for high cost transportation aid for the school year, all high cost
transportation aid must be prorated.
School mental health and pupil wellness; categorical aid
The bill changes the types of expenditures that are eligible for reimbursement
under the state categorical aid program related to pupil mental health.
Under current law, DPI must make payments to school districts, independent
charter schools, and private schools participating in parental choice programs (local
education agency) that increased the amount they spent to employ, hire, or retain
social workers. Under current law, DPI first pays each eligible local education
agency 50 percent of the amount by which the eligible local education agency
increased its expenditures for social workers in the preceding school year over the
amount it expended in the school year immediately preceding the preceding school
year. If, after making those payments, there is money remaining in the
appropriation account for that aid program, DPI makes additional payments to
eligible local education agencies. The amount of those additional payments is
determined on the basis of the amount remaining in the appropriation account and
the amount spent by eligible local education agencies to employ, hire, and retain
social workers during the previous school year.
The bill expands eligibility for the payments under the aid program to include
spending on school counselors, school social workers, school psychologists, and
school nurses (pupil services professionals). The bill also eliminates the two tier
reimbursement structure of the aid program and eliminates the requirement that a
local education agency is eligible for the aid only if the local education agency
increased its spending. Under the bill, any local education agency that made
expenditures to employ, hire, or retain pupil services professionals during the
previous school year is eligible for reimbursement under the aid program.
School-based mental health services grants
Under current law, DPI must administer a competitive grant program under
which it awards grants to school boards and independent charter schools for the
purpose of collaborating with community mental health agencies to provide mental
health services to pupils. Under the bill, the purpose of these grants is to collaborate
with mental health providers, as opposed to community mental health agencies, to
to provide mental health services to pupils.
Supplemental nutrition aid
The bill creates a categorical aid to reimburse educational agencies for the
difference between the federal reimbursement rate for a free school meal and a
reduced-price school meal provided that the educational agency does not charge
pupils for a reduced-price meal. The bill defines a “school meal” as a school lunch
or snack under the federal school lunch program and a breakfast under the federal
school breakfast program and an “educational agency” as a school board, an operator
of independent charter school, the director of the Wisconsin Educational Services

Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the director of the Wisconsin Center for
the Blind and Visually Impaired, an operator of residential care centers for children
and youth, a tribal school, or a private school.
School breakfast program
The bill expands eligibility for reimbursement under the school breakfast
program to include operators of independent charter schools, the director of the
Wisconsin Educational Services Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the
director of the Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and operators
of residential care centers for children and youth. The bill also prohibits DPI from
making reimbursements under the school breakfast program for breakfasts served
in the prior school year if the school ceased operations during the prior school year.
This prohibition does not apply to reimbursements to a school district.
Driver education; state aid
The bill creates a new aid program for driver schools and for school boards,
independent charter schools, and CESAs that offer a driver education program to
pupils who meet the income eligibility standard for a free or reduced-price lunch in
the federal school lunch program. To be eligible for this aid, a driver school, school
board, independent charter school, or CESA must demonstrate to DPI that it waived
at least one-half of its program participation fees for eligible pupils. Under the bill,
DPI pays the driver school, school board, operator of the independent charter school,
or CESA an amount equal to one-half of its program participation fee multiplied by
the number of eligible pupils who completed the driver education program in the
previous school year.
Out-of-school time program grants
The bill creates a grant program under which DPI must award grants to school
boards and organizations to support high-quality after-school programs and other
out-of-school time programs that provide services to school-age children. DPI must
award grants in amounts of not less than $80,000 and not more than $145,000 per
school year, and each grant may continue up to five school years. In each school year,
DPI must award not less than 30 percent of all grant moneys to out-of-school time
programs that serve pupils in the elementary grades.
Computer science licensure grant program
Beginning in the 2022-23 school year, the bill requires DPI to award grants to
school districts to assist licensed school district employees in obtaining additional
licensure that authorizes the employee to teach computer science in public schools.
For purposes of awarding these grants, the bill requires DPI to prioritize school
districts if 50 percent of the school district's membership is low income or 40 percent
of the school district's membership identify as a minority.
Energy efficiency grant program
The bill creates a grant program under which DPI must award grants to school
districts for energy efficiency projects in school buildings. For the first two school
years of the grant program, DPI must give preference in awarding grants to projects
that relate to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. DPI, in

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION: CHOICE, CHARTER, AND OPEN ENROLLMENT
Parental choice program caps
The bill caps the total number of pupils who may participate in the Milwaukee
Parental Choice Program, the Racine Parental Choice Program, or the statewide
parental choice program (parental choice program) at the number of pupils who
attended a private school under the parental choice program in the 2021-22 school
year. Under the bill, beginning in the 2022-23 school year, if the number of
applications to participate in a parental choice program exceeds the program cap,
DPI must determine which applications to accept on a random basis, subject to
certain admission preferences that exist under current law.
Under current law, pupils may submit applications to attend a private school
under the statewide parental choice program for the following school year from the
first weekday in February to the third Thursday in April, and a private school that
receives applications must, no later than the first weekday in May immediately
following the application period, report the number of applicants to DPI so that DPI
may determine whether a pupil participation limitation has been exceeded. The bill
provides that, beginning with applications for the 2022-23 school year, DPI must
establish one or more application periods during which pupils may submit
applications to attend a private school under the MPCP or RPCP. The bill provides
that a private school that receives applications during an application period must,
no later than 10 days after the application period ends, report the number of
applicants to DPI so that DPI may determine whether a program cap has been
exceeded. The bill does not change the application period for the statewide parental
choice program and requires DPI to use the information required to be reported
under current law to determine whether the program cap for the statewide parental
choice program has been exceeded.
The bill also requires DPI to establish a waiting list for a parental choice
program if the program cap for the parental choice program has been exceeded.
Current law specifies that a pupil who moves to Racine or Milwaukee from
somewhere else in the state after being accepted into the statewide parental choice
program is not counted for purposes of determining whether a school district
exceeded its pupil participation limit. The bill provides that such a pupil also is not
counted for purposes of determining whether a program cap for a parental choice
program has been exceeded. The bill also requires DPI to promulgate rules
consistent with those current law pupil counting provisions to ensure that, if a pupil
who is accepted to attend a private school under a parental choice program changes
the pupil's residence, the pupil will not be counted for purposes of determining
whether the pupil participation limit or program cap that applies to the pupil's new
residence has been exceeded. In other words, the rules would address situations in
which a pupil moves 1) from Racine to Milwaukee or somewhere else in the state; or
2) from Milwaukee to Racine or somewhere else in the state.

Special Needs Scholarship Program cap
Under current law, a child with a disability who meets certain eligibility criteria
may receive a scholarship to attend a private school participating in the Special
Needs Scholarship Program (SNSP). The bill caps the total number of children who
may receive an SNSP scholarship at the number of children who received an SNSP
scholarship in the 2021-22 school year. Under the bill, beginning in the 2022-23
school year, if the number of applications for SNSP scholarships exceeds the program
cap, DPI must determine which applications to accept on a random basis, subject to
certain admission preferences set forth in the bill.
Under current law, a child may apply for an SNSP scholarship at any time
during a school year and may begin attending the private school at any time during
the school year. The bill provides that, beginning with applications for the 2022-23
school year, children may submit applications for SNSP scholarships for the school
year from the first weekday in April to the first Thursday in June of the prior school
year, and a private school that receives applications for SNSP scholarships must, no
later than the third Thursday in June immediately following the application period,
report the names of applicants to DPI so that DPI may determine whether the
program cap has been exceeded. No later than 60 days after the end of the
application period, DPI must notify each applicant and each private school whether
the applicant has been awarded an SNSP scholarship.
The bill requires DPI to establish a waiting list if the program cap for the SNSP
has been exceeded. The bill allows a child receiving an SNSP scholarship to apply
during a school year to transfer from one participating private school to another.
Eliminating the Office of Educational Opportunity
The bill eliminates the Office of Educational Opportunity (OEO) as a charter
school authorizer. Under current law, a charter school may be authorized by a school
board, the director of the OEO, the common council of the City of Milwaukee, the
chancellor of any institution in the UW System, any technical college district board,
the College of Menominee Nation, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community
College, or the county executive of Waukesha County. The bill provides that,
beginning on the effective date of the bill, the OEO may not authorize any additional
charter schools. Under the bill, a charter school authorized by the OEO before the
effective date of the bill may continue to operate under its contract but may not renew
or extend the contract. The bill provides that, upon expiration of the contract, the
charter school may enter into a contract with any other authorizer to continue
operating as a charter school.
Payment indexing; parental choice programs, the Special Needs
Scholarship Program, independent charter schools, full-time open
enrollment program, and whole grade sharing agreements
Under current law, the per pupil payment amounts under the MPCP, the RPCP,
the statewide parental choice program, and the SNSP, the per pupil payment amount
to independent charter schools, the transfer amounts under the full-time open
enrollment program, and the required transfer amount for a child with a disability
in a whole grade sharing agreement (collectively “per pupil payments”) are adjusted
annually. The annual adjustment for per pupil payments is an amount equal to the
- 42 -

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
sum of any per member revenue limit increase that applies to school districts in that
school year and any per member increase in categorical aids between the current
school year and the previous school year. Under the bill, beginning in the 2021-22
school year, the annual adjustment for per pupil payments is the sum of the per
member revenue limit increase that applies to school districts in that school year, if
any, and the increase in the per member amount of per pupil aid paid to school
districts between the previous school year and the current school year, if any.
Per pupil payment and transfer amount based on actual costs; Special Needs
Scholarship Program and full-time Open Enrollment
2017 Wisconsin Act 59, the 2017 biennial budget, created a process that allows
the per pupil payment under the SNSP and the transfer amount for a child with a
disability in the full-time open enrollment program to be determined based on the
actual costs to educate the pupil in the previous school year, as reported by the
private school or the nonresident school district. The first SNSP payments and
full-time open enrollment transfer amounts based on the actual costs were paid in
the 2019-2020 school year.
The bill repeals the process for determining SNSP per pupil payments and
full-time open enrollment transfer amounts based on actual costs and reinstates the
per pupil payment amount under the SNSP and the full-time open enrollment
transfer amount for a child with a disability that existed prior to the 2017 biennial
budget. Under the bill, the SNSP per pupil amount and the full-time open
enrollment transfer amount for children with disabilities is the same for all pupils
and is determined by law. In the 2020-21 school year, the amount is $12,977.
Statewide and Racine parental choice programs; previous school year
attendance requirement
Under current law, a pupil must satisfy at least one of the following to be eligible
to participate in the statewide parental choice program or the RPCP: 1) the pupil was
enrolled in a public school in the previous school year; 2) the pupil was not enrolled
in school in the previous school year; 3) the pupil attended a private school in the
statewide parental choice program, RPCP, or MPCP in the previous school year; 4)
the pupil was on a waiting list to attend a private school in the statewide parental
choice program, RPCP, or MPCP in the previous school year; 5) the pupil attended
school in another state in the previous school year; or 6) the pupil is enrolling in
kindergarten, first grade, or ninth grade in the current school year.
For purposes of this requirement, the bill specifies that a pupil is “enrolled in
a public school in the previous school year” if 1) the pupil was counted in a school
district's membership count, which means the pupil was counted as being enrolled
in a school district on at least one of the count dates during the previous year, or
attended an independent charter school in the previous school year; and 2) the pupil
did not attend a private school during the previous school year.
Milwaukee Parental Choice Program; first class city school levy aid
Under current law, the estimated cost of the payments made to private schools
participating in the MPCP is partially offset by two reductions in the general school
aid otherwise paid to the Milwaukee Public Schools. For the 2010-11 school year and
in each school year thereafter, one of the reductions to MPS is an amount equal to
- 43 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
6.6 percent of the cost of payments made to private schools participating in the
MPCP. Current law requires DPI to pay an amount equal to that reduction amount
to the City of Milwaukee and requires the City of Milwaukee to pay that amount to
the board of school directors of MPS. The bill eliminates the 6.6 percent aid reduction
and the requirements that the reduction amount be paid by DPI to the city and by
the city to the board. The bill does not make any changes to the other state aid
reduction.
Teacher licensure in parental choice programs and in the Special Needs
Scholarship Program
With certain exceptions, the bill requires that, beginning on July 1, 2024,
teachers at private schools participating in a parental choice program or in the SNSP
must hold a license or permit issued by DPI. Under current law, teachers at choice
schools must have at least a bachelor's degree from a nationally or regionally
accredited institution of higher education, but they are not required to be licensed
by DPI. There are no current law requirements regarding who may teach at SNSP
schools.
The bill provides an exception for a teacher who teaches only courses in
rabbinical studies. In addition, the bill provides a grace period for a teacher who has
been teaching for at least the five consecutive years immediately preceding July 1,
2024, which allows the teacher to apply for a temporary, nonrenewable waiver of the
licensure requirement. An applicant for a waiver must submit a plan for becoming
licensed as required under the bill.
Special Needs Scholarship Program; religious activity opt-out
The bill provides that a private school participating in the SNSP must allow a
child attending the private school under the SNSP to refrain from participating in
any religious activity if the child's parent submits to the child's teacher or the private
school's principal a written request that the child be exempt from such activities.
Special Needs Scholarship Program; requirement for schools to participate
in parental choice program
The bill provides that a private school that begins participating in the SNSP in
the 2022-23 school year or any school year thereafter may participate only if the
private school also participates in a parental choice program.
Transportation aid; full-time open enrollment and early college credit
programs
Under current law, a parent or guardian of a pupil attending a public school in
a nonresident school district under the full-time open enrollment program or of a
public or private high school pupil attending an institution of higher education under
the early college credit program may apply to DPI for reimbursement for the costs
of transporting the pupil to the nonresident school district or the institution of higher
education. Under current law, the reimbursements for transportation costs for both
the full-time open enrollment program and the early college credit program are
funded from a single sum certain, annual appropriation. Under the bill,
reimbursements for transportation costs related to each program are funded from
separate sum certain appropriations.

SENATE BILL 111
Annual charter school authorizer report
Under current law, a school board, the OEO, the City of Milwaukee, the
chancellor of an institution in the UW System, a technical college district board, the
county executive of Waukesha County, the college of Menominee Nation, and the Lac
Courte Oreilles Ojibwa community college may contract with a person to operate a
charter school. These entities are commonly referred to as charter school
authorizers.
Current law requires each charter school authorizer to annually submit to DPI
and the chief clerk of each house of the legislature a report that includes specific
information about each charter school authorized by the charter school authorizer,
services provided by the charter school authorizer, and the charter school
authorizer's operating costs. The bill eliminates this requirement.
Per pupil payment to independent charter schools authorized by a tribal
college
A charter school authorized by a charter school authorizer other than a school
board is commonly known as an independent charter school. Under current law, DPI
pays a different per pupil amount to an independent charter school authorized by a
tribal college than it pays to other independent charter schools.
Under current law, the per pupil payment to an independent charter school
authorized by a tribal college is based on the per pupil academic base funding the
federal Bureau of Indian Education provides to tribal schools under federal law. In
the 2020-21 school year, the per pupil amount paid to an independent charter school
authorized by a tribal college is $8,719. The per pupil amount paid to an independent
charter school authorized by an authorizer other than a tribal college is set by law.
In the 2020-21 school year, the per pupil payment amount to an independent charter
school authorized by an authorizer other than a tribal college is $9,165.
The bill eliminates the different per pupil amount paid to independent charter
schools authorized by a tribal college. Under the bill, beginning in the 2021-22
school year, DPI pays the same per pupil amount to all independent charter schools.
Early College Credit Program; pupils attending an independent charter
school
Under current law, public and private high school pupils may enroll in an
institution of higher education for the purpose of taking one or more courses to earn
high school credit or postsecondary credit or both. This program is known as the
Early College Credit Program. The bill makes various technical changes to the
ECCP to ensure that the program is accessible to public high school pupils who
attend independent charter schools. Under current law, the only secondary
educational entity referenced in the ECCP for a public high school pupil is the school
board of the school district in which the pupil is enrolled. A public high school pupil
who attends an independent charter school is not enrolled in a school district. The
bill adds throughout the ECCP the governing board of the independent charter
school the pupil attends as the relevant secondary educational entity for a public
high school pupil who attends an independent charter school.

SENATE BILL 111
County children with disabilities education boards; pupils attending a
school district under the full-time open enrollment program
Under current law, a county children with disabilities education board may
provide a special education program to pupils enrolled in or attending a school
district if the school board has agreed to be included in the CCDEB's special
education program. If a CCDEB is fiscally independent from the school districts that
participate in its program, the state provides state aid to the CCDEB. In the 2019-20
school year, there were three fiscally independent CCDEBs.
Under current law, one of the factors used to calculate state aid paid to a
CCDEB is determined by recalculating a participating school district's equalization
aid by adding resident pupils solely enrolled in the CCDEB program to the district's
membership and by adding the costs of the services provided by the CCDEB to all
resident pupils to the school district's shared costs. Under the bill, nonresident
pupils attending the school district under the full-time open enrollment program are
included in this calculation.
Current law provides a minimum per pupil revenue limit for school districts,
known as the revenue ceiling. Under current law, a school district qualifies for the
revenue ceiling if its base revenue per pupil is less than the revenue ceiling. Under
current law, the per pupil revenue ceiling is $10,000 in the 2020-21 school year and
each school year thereafter.
Under current law, the costs of services provided to resident pupils who were
solely enrolled in a CCDEB program in the previous school year are included in a
school district's base revenue per pupil amount. Under the bill, the costs of services
provided to nonresident pupils attending a school district under the full-time open
enrollment program who are solely enrolled in a CCDEB program are also included
in the school district's base revenue per pupil.
Opportunity Schools and Partnership Programs
The bill repeals the Opportunity Schools and Partnership Programs. Under
current law, there are three OSPPs: a first class city OSPP applicable only to
Milwaukee Public Schools; the MPS superintendent of schools OSPP; and the OSPP
for certain eligible school districts. Current law provides that the first class city
OSPP and each eligible school district OSPP are under the supervision of a
commissioner appointed by the county executive of the county in which the school
district is located. Currently, under each OSPP, the commissioner, or MPS
superintendent of schools, grants supervision over the operation and general
management of each eligible school in the school district to an entity other than the
school board. Those entities include a person that operates a charter school and the
governing body of a nonsectarian private school participating in a parental choice
program. Under current law, an eligible school is a school that was assigned to the
lowest performance category on the most recent accountability report published for
the school.

SENATE BILL 111
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION: ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER FUNDING
GED test fee payments
The bill requires DPI to pay the $30 testing service fee for an individual who
takes a content area test given under the general educational development test
(commonly called the GED test). The GED test consists of four separate content area
tests that cover mathematical reasoning, reasoning through language arts, social
studies, and science. Under the bill, an individual who takes a GED content area test
to earn a High School Equivalency Diploma (commonly called an HSED) is also
eligible for the payment. Under the bill, DPI will pay for an individual to take all four
content area tests in each calendar year.
In order to be eligible for the payment, an individual must satisfy DPI's
requirements for the individual to receive a Certificate of General Educational
Development or an HSED from DPI. Among other things, DPI requires that the
individual meet certain residency and minimum age requirements and attend a
counseling session. The individual also must obtain a passing score on a GED
practice test for the content area (commonly called a GED Ready practice test).
Grants to replace race-based nicknames, logos, mascots, or team names
associated with American Indians
The bill authorizes DPI to award a grant to a school board that terminates the
use of a race-based nickname, logo, mascot, or team name that is associated with a
federally recognized American Indian tribe or American Indians, in general. Under
the bill, a school board is eligible for a grant whether or not the school board decides
to terminate the use of a race-based nickname, logo, mascot, or team name
voluntarily or in response to an objection to its use or in compliance with an order
issued by the Division of Hearings and Appeals to terminate the use of the
race-based nickname, logo, mascot, or team name. The bill specifies that the amount
of the grant may not exceed the greater of $50,000 or the actual cost incurred by the
school board to replace the race-based nickname, logo, mascot, or team name. Under
the bill, these grants are funded from Indian gaming receipts.
American Indian studies; curriculum and instruction
Current law provides a list of standards, including standards relating to
curriculum and instruction, by which school boards must abide. The list of standards
includes a requirement that each school board provide, as part of its social studies
curriculum, instruction in the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of the federally
recognized American Indian tribes and bands in Wisconsin at least twice in the
elementary grades and at least once in the high school grades.
Under the bill, beginning on September 1, 2022, each school board must
provide, as part of its social studies curriculum, instruction in the culture, tribal
sovereignty, and contemporary and historical significant events of the federally
recognized American Indian tribes and bands in Wisconsin at least four times in the
elementary grades. The bill specifically requires that the instruction be provided at
least once in grades kindergarten to two, at least once in grades three to five, and at
least twice in grades six to eight. The bill also requires that the instruction be

SENATE BILL 111
provided as part of the high school curriculum at least once in each of the high school
grades, including at least once as part of the high school social studies curriculum.
Beginning in the 2022-23 school year, the bill also requires that each private
school participating in a parental choice program and each independent charter
school include instruction in the culture, tribal sovereignty, and contemporary and
historical significant events of the federally recognized American Indian tribes and
bands in Wisconsin in its curriculum at least twice in the elementary grades and at
least once in the high school grades.
American Indian studies; teaching license requirement
Current law generally prohibits DPI from issuing a teaching license to an
individual unless the individual has received instruction in minority group relations,
including instruction in the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of the federally
recognized American Indian tribes and bands in Wisconsin. Under the bill, the
minority group relationship instruction required for a teaching license must include
instruction in the culture, tribal sovereignty, and contemporary and historical
significant events of the federally recognized American Indian tribes and bands in
Wisconsin.
Climate change in model academic standards
The bill requires DPI to incorporate an understanding of climate, the
interconnected nature of climate change, the potential local and global impacts of
climate change, and individual and societal actions that may mitigate the harmful
effects of climate change into DPI's model academic standards for science;
agriculture, food and natural resources; english language arts; environmental
literacy and sustainability; social studies; nutrition education; and mathematics.
While not required by current law, DPI has adopted model academic standards in
each of these subjects. Under current law, DPI must incorporate the history of
organized labor and the collective bargaining process into its model academic
standards for social studies.
Prohibiting vaping on school property
The bill prohibits individuals from vaping on school premises. Under the bill,
“school premises” is defined as any real property owned by, rented by, or under the
control of a school board, operator or governing board of an independent charter
school, or governing body of a private school. “School premises” includes outdoor
spaces such as playgrounds and athletic fields. The bill defines vaping as inhaling
or exhaling vapor from a vapor product, regardless of whether the liquid or other
substance being heated to produce the vapor contains nicotine. Under current law,
a school board, operator or governing board of an independent charter school, and
governing body of a private school may prohibit vaping on school premises under its
respective control.
Grants to support City Year Milwaukee
The bill requires DPI to annually distribute to City Year, Inc., to support City
Year Milwaukee all amounts appropriated to DPI for that purpose. City Year, Inc.,
is a nonprofit organization that partners with systemically under-resourced public

from high school with the skills necessary for success in college, career, and life.
Bullying prevention grants
Under current law, DPI must award grants to a nonprofit organization to
provide training and an online bullying prevention curriculum for pupils in grades
kindergarten to eight. Beginning in the 2021-22 fiscal year, the bill requires DPI to
award a bullying prevention grant to the nonprofit organization that received a
bullying prevention grant in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years. In the 2019-20
and 2020-21 fiscal years, DPI awarded a bullying prevention grant to the Children's
Hospital of Wisconsin.
Mental health training program for school districts and independent
charter schools
Under current law, DPI must provide trainings to school districts and
independent charter schools on three specific evidence-based strategies to address
student mental health: Screening, Brief Interventions, and Referral to Treatment;
Trauma Sensitive Schools; and Youth Mental Health First Aid. The bill adds social
and emotional learning to the list of evidence-based strategies on which DPI must
provide trainings to school districts and independent charter schools.
Recollection Wisconsin
The bill creates a sum certain appropriation to provide GPR funding to
Wisconsin Library Services, Inc., commonly known as WiLS, to support the
digitization of historic materials in public libraries throughout the state. The bill
also requires DPI to distribute annually the amount appropriated for this purpose
to WiLS. The collaborative administered by WiLS to digitize and make available
historic materials throughout the state is known as Recollection Wisconsin.
Truancy abatement and burglary suppression; Milwaukee public schools
Under current law, all school boards are authorized to establish one or more
youth service centers for the counseling of children who are taken into custody for
truancy. Current law also provides specific requirements that apply only to the
school board of MPS related to these youth service centers and truancy abatement.
Under current law, the MPS school board is required to establish two youth
service centers to provide counseling to children who are taken into custody for
truancy and must contract with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee to
operate these youth service centers. Additionally, current law requires the MPS
school board to pay to the City of Milwaukee the amount of funding necessary to
employ four law enforcement officers to work on truancy abatement and burglary
suppression on a full-time basis. The bill eliminates these requirements.
Fees for licensing school and public library personnel; appropriation
changes
Under current law, 90 percent of the fees collected by DPI for licensing school
and public library personnel and for school districts to participate in DPI's teacher
improvement program are credited to an annual sum certain appropriation. The
remaining 10 percent of these fees are deposited into the general fund under current
law. The bill changes this annual sum certain appropriation to a continuing

2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
appropriation and requires that 100 percent of the total fees collected by DPI be
credited to the appropriation. Under current law and the bill, the purposes of the
appropriation are for 1) DPI's administrative costs related to licensing school and
public library personnel; 2) if DPI exercises its authority to provide information and
analysis of the professional school personnel supply in this state, the costs of
providing that information and analysis; and 3) DPI's teacher improvement
program.
Report on homeless children and youths
The bill requires DPI to annually submit a report to the legislature on the
number of homeless children and youths in the public schools of this state. Under
the bill, “homeless children and youths” is defined by reference to federal law
providing homeless assistance.
HIGHER EDUCATION
Resident undergraduate tuition freeze
The bill prohibits the Board of Regents of the UW System from charging
resident undergraduate academic fees in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years
that are more than the fees charged in the 2020-21 academic year.
Tuition promise grant program
The bill creates a new grant program administered by the Board of Regents.
This program provides grants in the form of “last-dollar awards” to supplement the
gap between any scholarships or grants that an eligible student receives outside of
this program and the full cost of tuition and segregated fees during either eight
consecutive semesters for incoming freshmen or four consecutive semesters for
incoming transfer students. Summer terms are not counted in the consecutive
semester count, and students may not receive the grants for summer terms.
Students eligible for the grants must be new incoming students enrolled in their first
bachelor's degree whose household federal adjusted gross income is equal to or less
than $60,000 a year, and must be enrolled in an on-campus program at a UW System
institution other than UW-Madison. The bill requires the Board of Regents to
promulgate rules to implement and administer the grant program.
Student loan servicers; Office of the Student Loan Ombudsman
The bill creates an Office of the Student Loan Ombudsman (office) in DFI and
requires student loan servicers to be licensed by this office. The bill contains a
variety of provisions governing student education loans, student loan borrowers, and
student loan servicers. Under the bill, a “student education loan" means a loan that
is extended to a student loan borrower expressly for postsecondary education
expenses or related expenses. A “student loan borrower" means a resident of this
state who has received or agreed to pay a student education loan or a person who
shares legal responsibility for repaying the loan. A “student loan servicer" means a
person responsible for the servicing of a student education loan, but excludes certain
state-regulated financial service providers. “Servicing” means receiving scheduled
periodic payments from a student loan borrower; applying payments received from
a student loan borrower; and performing other administrative services with respect
to a student education loan.

2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
The bill requires a student loan servicer, wherever located, to be licensed by the
office before directly or indirectly engaging in servicing student education loans in
this state. A student loan servicer must hold a separate license for each of its places
of business and the student loan servicer may not act under any name or at any place
of business that is not identified in the license.
The bill imposes numerous requirements on student loan servicers, including
requirements relating to all of the following:
1. Responding to written inquiries from student loan borrowers.
2. Handling and applying “nonconforming payments," defined as payments on
student education loans that are different from the required payments.
3. Responsibilities if there is a sale, assignment, or other transfer of the
servicing of a student education loan.
4. Maintaining and making available to the office records related to student
education loan transactions.
The bill also prohibits a student loan servicer from engaging in certain conduct
or activity, including the following:
1. Defrauding or misleading a student loan borrower.
2. Engaging in an unfair or deceptive practice or misrepresenting or omitting
material information in connection with the servicing of a student education loan.
3. Misapplying student education loan payments.
4. Providing inaccurate information to a credit bureau related to a student loan
borrower's creditworthiness.
5. Refusing to communicate with an authorized representative of a student
loan borrower.
6. Failing to evaluate a student loan borrower for an income-based repayment
program prior to placing the student loan borrower in default.
The bill also specifies the authority of the office to conduct investigations and
examinations and take administrative action and also provides a private right of
action for violations of the requirements or prohibitions under the bill.
The bill requires the office to perform certain functions, including 1) assisting
student loan borrowers; 2) receiving and attempting to resolve complaints from
student loan borrowers and others; 3) compiling and analyzing data about these
complaints; 4) assisting student loan borrowers in various ways; 5) providing
information to the public and others regarding the problems and concerns of student
loan borrowers; and 6) analyzing and monitoring the development and
implementation of laws and policies relating to student loan borrowers.
Although the bill exempts certain state-regulated financial service providers,
primarily state-chartered financial institutions, from licensing and most other
requirements applicable to student loan servicers, the bill requires these exempt
organizations to cooperate with the office and provide information requested by the
office necessary to investigate and resolve student loan borrower complaints.
Technical college district revenue limits
The bill increases the limit on certain revenue, primarily derived from the
property tax levy, that technical college districts may generate.
- 51 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
Under current law, with certain exceptions, a technical college district board
may not increase its revenue each school year by more than the greater of 1) 0
percent, or 2) the percentage change in the district's equalized value due to new
construction, less improvements removed, between the previous year and the
current year. The amount of this limit is called the “valuation factor.” A district
board's revenue is the sum of its tax levy for operations and the amount of aid it
receives for property tax relief and tax-exempt personal property.
The bill increases part 1) of the valuation factor from 0 percent to 2 percent,
allowing an increase of a district board's revenue by 2 percent over the previous year
regardless of any change in the district's equalized value due to net new construction.
Changes to Minnesota-Wisconsin Reciprocity Agreement
Under current law, the Higher Educational Aids Board (HEAB) administers
and has authority to renegotiate the Minnesota-Wisconsin tuition reciprocity
agreement. The agreement provides for the waiver of nonresident tuition for
residents of either state who are enrolled in public vocational schools and for a
reciprocal fee structure for residents of either state who are enrolled in public
institutions of higher education located in the other state.
The bill requires the UW System to enter into, administer, and renegotiate with
Minnesota a tuition reciprocity agreement that provides for the waiver of
nonresident tuition and for a reciprocal fee structure for residents of either state who
are enrolled in public institutions of higher education located in the other state. The
bill requires that all the tuition paid by Minnesota students attending UW
institutions under the agreement, including tuition commonly referred to as
differential reciprocity tuition, be credited to a UW System appropriation account
from which UW System expenditures are authorized.
The bill also requires HEAB to enter into, administer, and renegotiate with
Minnesota a fee reciprocity agreement that provides for the waiver of nonresident
fees for residents of either state who are enrolled in public vocational schools in the
other state.
Extensions of credit to the UW System
The bill allows the Board of Regents to obtain extensions of credit to provide
short-term funding for expenses associated with athletics or educational programs
and related programs. The board may pledge as collateral for an extension of credit
revenues generated as a result of the operation of UW athletic programs, as well as
collateral furnished by a third party. Proceeds from an extension of credit may not
be used to pay for certain expenses, including those associated with the construction,
improvement, or maintenance of buildings, structures, or facilities.
UniverCity Alliance program
The bill creates an appropriation funding the “UniverCity Alliance” program
within the UW-Madison. The UniverCity Alliance program connects in partnership
communities, towns, cities, and counties with UW-Madison education, service, and
research activities in order to address the communities' biggest local challenges.

Nurse educators loan forgiveness and fellowship program
The bill requires the Board of Regents to establish a program that provides 1)
fellowships to students who enroll in certain doctoral nursing degree programs; 2)
postdoctoral fellowships to recruit faculty for UW System nursing programs; and 3)
educational loan repayment assistance to recruit and retain faculty for UW System
nursing programs. In addition, the program must require individuals who receive
a fellowship or educational loan repayment assistance under the program to make
a three-year commitment to teaching in a UW System nursing program.
Dentist loan assistance program
The bill permits dentists who agree to practice in rural areas under an
educational loan repayment assistance program to receive the same amount of
assistance as physicians. The Board of Regents administers the program. Under
current law, a dentist or physician who agrees to practice at least 32 clinic hours per
week for three years in either a free or charitable clinic, or in an area with a shortage
of dental or primary care professionals may receive up to $50,000 in assistance under
the program. A physician who agrees to practice for the same duration in a rural area
may receive up to $100,000 in assistance under the program. A dentist who agrees
to practice for the same duration in a rural area may receive up to $50,000 in
assistance under the program. The bill permits dentists who agree to practice for the
same duration in rural areas to receive up to $100,000 in assistance under the
program.
Nonresident tuition exemption for undocumented individuals
The bill creates a nonresident tuition exemption for certain technical college
and UW System students. Current law allows the Board of Regents to charge
different tuition rates to resident and nonresident students. Current law also
includes nonresident tuition exemptions, under which certain nonresident students
pay resident tuition rates. The bill creates an additional exemption for an individual
who is not a citizen of the United States and who 1) graduated from a Wisconsin high
school or received a declaration of equivalency of high school graduation from
Wisconsin; 2) was continuously present in Wisconsin for at least three years
following the first day of attending a Wisconsin high school or immediately preceding
receipt of a declaration of equivalency of high school graduation; and 3) enrolls in a
UW System institution and provides the institution with proof stating that he or she
has filed or will file an application for lawful permanent resident status with U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services as soon as the individual is eligible to do so.
The bill also provides that an individual described above is considered a
resident of this state for purposes of admission to and payment of fees at a technical
college.

SENATE BILL 111
State residency of relocated active duty service members and their families
The bill establishes guidance for determining state residency of relocated active
duty service members and their spouses and dependents for purposes of resident
tuition eligibility at UW System institutions and technical colleges.
Under current law, UW System institutions must charge a student nonresident
tuition unless the student has been a bona fide resident of this state for at least 12
months prior to registering at the UW institution or the student otherwise qualifies
under another exemption to nonresident tuition. In determining bona fide residence,
the intent of a person to establish and maintain a permanent home in Wisconsin is
determinative, and this intent may be represented by such factors as tax return
filings, voter or vehicle registration, employment, and physical presence. However,
a student who enters and remains in Wisconsin principally to obtain an education
is presumed to continue to reside outside Wisconsin. Under one nonresident tuition
exemption, a student is eligible for resident tuition if the student is a member of the
armed forces who resides in this state and is stationed at a federal military
installation located within 90 miles of the borders of this state or the student is the
child or spouse of such a service member.
Also under current law, the TCS Board must establish procedures to determine
the residence of students attending technical colleges for purposes of fees and
admission, although certain persons are by statute considered Wisconsin residents
for these purposes.
Under the bill, for purposes of determining Wisconsin residency at UW System
institutions and technical colleges, an active duty member of the armed forces who
has been relocated from Wisconsin and stationed on active duty in another state
(relocated service member), and the service member's spouse and dependents, are
considered residents of this state during this period of relocation if they demonstrate,
under the factors described above, that they are bona fide residents during this
relocation period. In addition, if such a demonstration is made, the relocated service
member's dependents continue to be considered residents of this state after the
relocation period has ended.
Nonresident tuition exemption for certain tribal members
The bill allows certain students who are members of, or whose parents or
grandparents are members of, a federally recognized American Indian tribe and who
are otherwise ineligible for resident tuition at UW System institutions and technical
colleges to qualify for resident tuition.
Under current law, a person generally must be a resident of this state for at
least 12 months prior to registering at a UW System institution in order to be exempt
from paying nonresident tuition. Current law also includes nonresident tuition
exemptions, under which certain nonresident students pay resident tuition rates.
Also under current law, the TCS Board establishes program fees that the
technical college districts must charge students. With exceptions, the fees for
nonresidents are 150 percent of the fees for residents. The TCS Board must establish
procedures to determine the residence of students attending technical colleges, but
statutes specify that certain students must be considered residents of this state.

1. The student, or the student's parent or grandparent, is a member of a
federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in Wisconsin or is a member of
a federally recognized tribe in a state contiguous with Wisconsin.
2. The student has resided in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, or
Michigan, or in any combination of these states, for at least 12 months prior to
enrolling in a UW System institution or technical college.
Office of Educational Opportunity
The bill eliminates the OEO in the UW System. Under current law, the OEO
authorizes and monitors charter schools, and the OEO is managed by a director
appointed by the president of the UW System. After the effective date of the bill, the
former OEO's monitoring duties related to existing charter schools are transferred
to the chancellor of UW-Madison, but the chancellor may not authorize new charter
schools.
Investment of certain UW System moneys by the Investment Board
The bill allows the Board of Regents to designate UW System revenues and to
manage those designated revenues by directing the State of Wisconsin Investment
Board (SWIB) to invest these moneys according to investment policies established
by the Board of Regents.
Current law specifies that SWIB has control of the investment of certain state
moneys, including those in the general fund. SWIB manages the State Investment
Fund (SIF), which operates as an investment trust for managing certain state
moneys. Current law prescribes the types of permissible investments that SWIB can
make with SIF assets. The SIF functions as a cash management fund under which
idle cash balances are pooled and invested in liquid, low-risk investments until these
moneys are needed.
Also under current law, the Board of Regents may invest revenues from gifts,
grants, and donations by doing any of the following: 1) directly employing a financial
manager; 2) selecting a private investment firm using a competitive proposal
process; or 3) contracting with SWIB to manage the investment of these moneys. If
the Board of Regents invests these moneys in this manner, the moneys are not
required to be deposited in the SIF. If the Board of Regents contracts with SWIB to
invest these moneys under item 3 above instead of managing these moneys in the
SIF, SWIB must invest the moneys in accordance with the terms of its contract with
the Board of Regents and SWIB's general standard of investment prudence.
Under the bill, if the Board of Regents has designated moneys to be managed
by SWIB under investment policies established by the Board of Regents, SWIB must
invest and manage these moneys in accordance with the investment directives and
policies of the Board of Regents. However, SWIB remains subject to its general
standard of investment prudence and SWIB may decline to follow any investment
directive or policy that SWIB considers to involve unreasonable risk or to be in

Partnership program for the Lake Superior Research Institute
The bill requires the Board of Regents to establish a partnership program
between UW-Superior's Lake Superior Research Institute and northern Wisconsin
communities. The program must be designed to accomplish specified objectives. The
bill creates an appropriation to provide funding for the program.
Extension services provided by UW state specialists
The bill requires the Board of Regents to recognize as teaching hours time spent
by state specialists providing certain extension services.
Under current law, the Board of Regents must develop and implement a plan
that includes 1) policies for monitoring teaching workloads of faculty and
instructional academic staff, including requirements for reporting the number of
hours each spends teaching; and 2) policies for rewarding faculty and instructional
academic staff who teach more than a standard academic load. These teaching hours
reported are included, as aggregate data, in an accountability report submitted to the
governor and legislature and are included, as aggregate data or individually
reported data, directly or by link on the accountability dashboard portion of the UW
System's website.
The bill requires the Board of Regents' plan to recognize as teaching hours, for
state specialists who provide extension services in the field of applied agricultural
research at UW institutions, the time spent by these state specialists teaching
graduate students and teaching Wisconsin farmers.
Agriculture-focused positions at UW-Madison
The bill specifies that the Board of Regents must provide funding for 20

the conclusion of the mission for which funding is provided, the MIA Recovery Project
must submit to the Board of Regents, JCF, each legislative standing committee
dealing with veterans matters, the governor, DVA, and DMA a report on the mission's
findings and an accounting of expenditures for the mission. The Board of Regents
must provide the funding through a new UW System appropriation.
HEAB service funds appropriation
The bill creates a program revenue-service appropriation for HEAB. The
appropriation authorizes HEAB to expend money that HEAB receives from other
state agencies to carry out the purpose for which the money is received.
ELECTIONS
Automatic voter registration
The bill requires the Elections Commission to use all feasible means to facilitate
the registration of all individuals eligible to vote in this state and to maintain the
registration of all eligible electors for so long as they remain eligible. Under the bill,
the commission must attempt to facilitate the initial registration of all eligible
electors as soon as practicable. To facilitate that initial registration, the bill directs
the commission and DOT to enter into an agreement so that DOT may transfer
specified personally identifying information in DOT's records to the commission.
The bill requires the commission to maintain the confidentiality of any information
it obtains under the agreement and allows a driver's license or identification card
applicant to opt out of DOT's transfer of this information to the commission.
Once the commission obtains the information required under current law to
complete an eligible elector's registration, the commission adds the elector's name
to the statewide registration list. The bill also permits an individual whose name is
added to the registration list or who wishes to permanently exclude his or her name
from the list to file a request to have his or her name deleted or excluded from the
list or to revoke a deletion or exclusion request previously made. In addition, the bill
directs the commission to notify an individual by first class postcard whenever the
commission removes his or her name from the registration list or changes his or her
status on the list from eligible to ineligible.
The bill also directs the commission to report to the legislature and the
governor, no later than July 1, 2023, its progress in initially registering eligible
electors under the bill. The report must contain an assessment of the feasibility and
desirability of integration of registration information with information maintained

Under current law, a qualified elector with a current and valid driver's license
or identification card issued by DOT may register to vote electronically on a secure
website maintained by the commission. To register electronically under current law,
a qualified elector must also authorize DOT to forward a copy of his or her electronic
signature to the commission. The authorization affirms that all information
provided by the elector is correct and has the same effect as a written signature on
a paper copy of the registration form. Finally, current law requires the commission
and DOT to enter into an agreement that permits the commission to verify the
necessary registration information instantly by accessing DOT's electronic files.
Residency requirement for voting
Under current law, with limited exceptions, an otherwise eligible voter must be
a resident of Wisconsin and of the municipality and ward, if any, where the voter is
voting for 28 days before an election in order to vote in the election in that
municipality and ward. The bill shortens that residency requirement from 28 days
to 10 days.
Proof of identification for voting
Current law allows an individual to use as voter identification an unexpired
identification card issued by a technical college, college, or university in this state if
the card meets certain criteria. The card must have an expiration date that is no later
than two years after the date it was issued, and the individual must establish proof
of enrollment. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held that the
requirement to present both an unexpired identification card and proof of enrollment
had no rational basis and was therefore unconstitutional. See, Luft v. Evers, 963 F.3d
665 (2020). The bill allows a student to use an expired student identification card
under certain circumstances. Under the bill, a student does not need to present proof
of enrollment if using an unexpired identification card but must provide proof of
enrollment if using an expired identification card. In addition, the bill requires each
technical college in this state and each UW System institution to issue student
identification cards that meet the criteria to be used as voter identification no later
than August 1, 2021.
Current law also allows an individual to use as voter identification an
identification card issued by DOT. DOT may issue a receipt as a temporary
identification card to use for voting and other purposes to an individual who is
waiting for the permanent card. The receipt expires in 60 days. The bill extends the
expiration date to 180 days.
Voting absentee in person
Current law allows an individual to complete an absentee ballot in person no
earlier than 14 days preceding the election and no later than the Sunday preceding
the election. The bill eliminates the restriction on how soon a person may complete
an absentee ballot in person and provides that a person must complete such a ballot
no later than 7 p.m. on the Friday preceding the election.

SENATE BILL 111
Early canvassing of absentee ballots
Under current law, absentee ballots may not be canvassed until election day.
The bill authorizes a municipal clerk or municipal board of election commissioners
to begin the canvassing of absentee ballots on the day before an election, subject to
the following requirements:
1. The municipality must use automatic tabulating equipment to process
absentee ballots.
2. Prior to the early canvassing of absentee ballots, the municipal clerk or
municipal board of election commissioners must notify the Elections Commission in
writing and must consult with the Elections Commission concerning administration
of early canvassing of absentee ballots.
3. Early canvassing of absentee ballots under the bill may be conducted only
between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on the day before the election, and ballots may not be
tallied until after polls close on election day.
4. Members of the public must have the same right of access to a place where
absentee ballots are being canvassed early as is provided under current law for
canvassing absentee ballots on election day.
5. When not in use, automatic tabulating equipment used for canvassing
absentee ballots and the areas where the programmed media and the absentee
ballots are housed must be secured with tamper-evident security seals in a
double-lock location such as a locked cabinet inside a locked office.
6. Subject to criminal penalty, no person may act in any manner that would give
him or her the ability to know or to provide information on the accumulating or final
results from the ballots canvassed early under the bill before the close of the polls on
election day.
7. Certain notices must be provided before each election at which the
municipality intends to canvass absentee ballots on the day before the election.
Special elections to fill vacancies in the office of U.S. senator and
representative in Congress
Under current law, a vacancy in the office of U.S. senator or representative in
Congress occurring prior to the second Tuesday in April in the year of the general
election must be filled at a special primary and special election. A vacancy occurring
in one of these offices between the second Tuesday in April and the second Tuesday
in May in the year of the general election is filled at the partisan primary and general
election.
Current law provides that a special primary be held four weeks before the day
of the special election. However, if the election is held on the same day as the spring
election, the special primary is held concurrently with the spring primary. Under
current law, with regard to an election for a national office, the period between a
special primary and special election or between the spring primary or spring election
does not provide sufficient time to canvass and certify the primary results and
prepare ballots to send to overseas voters as required by federal law.
Under the bill, a vacancy in the office of U.S. senator or representative in
Congress is filled in the following manner:
- 59 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

SENATE BILL 111
1. At a special election to be held on the third Tuesday in May following the first

primary on the third Tuesday in February.
2. At a special election to be held on the second Tuesday in August following
the first day of the vacancy with a special primary to be held on the third Tuesday
in May.
3. At a special election to be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in
November following the first day of the vacancy with a special primary to be held on
the second Tuesday in August.
However, under the bill, a November special election is not held in any year in
which the general election is held for that office; instead, the vacancy is filled at the
partisan primary and general election.
Reimbursement of counties and municipalities for certain election costs
The bill requires the Elections Commission to reimburse counties and
municipalities for certain costs incurred in the administration of special primaries
and special elections for state or national office. A cost is eligible for reimbursement
only if certain conditions are met, including that the commission determines the cost
is reasonable and the rate paid by the county or municipality for the cost does not
exceed the rate customarily paid for similar costs at a primary or election that is not
a special primary or election. Under the bill, only the following costs may be
reimbursed:
1. Rental payments for polling places.
2. Election day wages paid to election officials working at the polls.
3. Costs for the publication of required election notices.
4. Printing and postage costs for absentee ballots and envelopes.
5. Costs for the design and printing of ballots and poll books.
6. Purchase of ballot bags or containers, including ties or seals for chain of
custody purposes.
7. Costs to program electronic voting machines.
8. Purchase of memory devices for electronic voting machines.
9. Wages paid to conduct a county canvass.
10. Data entry costs for the statewide voter registration system.
Voter bill of rights
The bill creates a voter bill of rights that municipal clerks and boards of election
commissioners must post at each polling place. The bill of rights informs voters that
they have the right to do all of the following:
1. Vote if registered and eligible to vote.
2. Inspect a sample ballot before voting.
3. Cast a ballot if in line when the polling place closes or, if voting by in-person
absentee ballot on the last day for which such voting is allowed, when the municipal
clerk's office closes.
4. Cast a secret ballot.
5. Get help casting a ballot if disabled.
6. Get help voting in a language other than English as provided by law.

7. Get a new ballot, up to three ballots in all, if the voter makes a mistake on
the ballot.
8. Cast a provisional ballot as provided by law.
9. Have the voter's ballot counted accurately.
10. Vote free from coercion or intimidation.
11. Report any illegal or fraudulent election activity.
Recount fees
Current law requires the Elections Commission to reimburse the counties for
the actual costs of conducting a recount. The reimbursement comes from the fees
that the commission collects from the person that filed the recount petition. The bill
changes the appropriation for reimbursing the counties from an annual
appropriation to a continuing appropriation.
Voter registration list
Under current law, all moneys received from the federal government under the
Help America Vote Act and from the sale of copies of the official statewide voter
registration list are deposited into the election administration trust fund. Copies of
the list are typically used for political purposes such as voter or constituent outreach.
The Elections Commission spent all HAVA moneys from the fund as of April 2019.
However, the moneys received from sales of the registration list have not been
appropriated and, therefore, cannot be spent. The bill creates an appropriation for
the moneys received from selling the registration list and authorizes the commission
to spend the moneys for election security and maintenance of the statewide voter
registration system.
Lobbying fees
Under current law, a person who employs a lobbyist (a principal) and who
spends more than $500 in a calendar year on lobbying activities must file a principal
registration form with the Ethics Commission and pay a fee. In addition, in order
for a lobbyist to represent a principal, either the lobbyist or the principal must file
an authorization statement with the commission and pay a fee.
The bill increases the principal registration fee from $375 to $430 and the
authorization statement fee from $125 to $180. The increase first applies to lobbying
that occurs during the 2023-24 legislative session.
The bill also imposes a $55 surcharge applicable to lobbying during the 2021-22
legislative session that is in addition to the fees collected for filing the principal
registration form and the authorization statement.
EMINENT DOMAIN
Condemnation authority for recreational trails, bicycle lanes and ways, and
pedestrian ways
The bill allows certain entities, such as a county board, village board, or DOT,
to use the power of condemnation to acquire land or interests in land for the purpose
of establishing or extending recreational trails, bicycle ways or lanes, or pedestrian
ways. Current law prohibits the exercise of condemnation power to acquire land or
interests for those purposes.

EMPLOYMENT
EMPLOYMENT REGULATION
Minimum wage
The bill raises the minimum wages to be paid to most employees annually, from
the effective date of the bill through January 1, 2025. After that date, the bill
requires DWD to determine the percentage difference between the consumer price
index for the preceding 12-month period and the consumer price index for the 12
months before the preceding 12-month period, to adjust the minimum wages then
in effect by that percentage difference, and to publish those amounts in the
Wisconsin Administrative Register and on the DWD website.
The bill requires the secretary of workforce development to establish a
committee to study options to achieve a $15 per hour minimum wage and other
options to increase compensation for workers in this state. Under the bill, the
committee consists of nine members, with five appointed by the governor, and one
each appointed by the speaker of the assembly, the assembly minority leader, the
senate majority leader, and the senate minority leader. The committee is required
to submit a report containing its recommendations for options to achieve a $15 per
hour minimum wage and other options to increase compensation to the governor and
the appropriate standing committees of the legislature no later than October 1, 2022.
Collective bargaining for state and local employees; employee rights
Under current law, state and local governments are prohibited from collectively
bargaining with employees except as expressly provided in the statutes. Current law
allows certain protective occupation participants under the Wisconsin Retirement
System, known as public safety employees, and certain municipal transit employees
to collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment. Under
current law, other state and municipal employees may collectively bargain only over
a percentage increase in base wages that does not exceed the percentage increase in
the consumer price index. In addition, under current law, the Employment Relations
Commission assigns employees to collective bargaining units, but current law
requires that public safety employees and municipal transit employees be placed in
separate collective bargaining units.
The bill adds frontline workers to the groups that may collectively bargain over
wages, hours, and conditions of employment. In the bill, “frontline workers” are state
or municipal employees with regular job duties that include interacting with
members of the public or with large populations of people or that directly involve the
maintenance of public works. Under the bill, ERC determines which state and
municipal employees meet the criteria. Also, the bill allows ERC to place in the same
collective bargaining unit both frontline workers and employees that are not
frontline workers. If ERC places employees of both types in a collective bargaining
unit, the entire collective bargaining unit is treated as if all members are frontline
workers and all members may collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions
of employment.
Under current law, state or municipal employees in a collective bargaining unit
elect their representative. The representative for a unit containing public safety
- 62 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
employees or transit employees requires the support of the majority of the employees
who are voting in the election, and the representative for a unit containing other
employees requires the support of the majority of all of the employees who are in the
collective bargaining unit. Under the bill, the representative for any collective
bargaining unit containing any state or municipal employees requires the support
of the majority of the employees who are voting in the election regardless of the
number of employees who are in the collective bargaining unit.
Under current law, ERC must conduct an annual election to certify each
representative of a collective bargaining unit representing state or municipal
employees who are not public safety employees or transit employees. At the election,
if a representative fails to receive at least 51 percent of the votes of all of the members
of the collective bargaining unit, the representative is decertified and the employees
are unrepresented. The bill eliminates this annual recertification process.
The bill requires state and municipal employers to consult about wages, hours,
and conditions of employment with their employees who are not public safety
employees, transit employees, or frontline workers. The employers must consult
when policy changes that affect wages, hours, or conditions are proposed or
implemented or, in the absence of policy changes, at least quarterly.
The bill adds that employees of authorities, such as the University of Wisconsin
Hospitals and Clinics Authority, WHEDA, and WEDC, may collectively bargain as
state employees.
Right-to-work law
The current right-to-work law prohibits a person from requiring, as a
condition of obtaining or continuing employment, an individual to refrain or resign
from membership in a labor organization, to become or remain a member of a labor
organization, to pay dues or other charges to a labor organization, or to pay any other
person an amount that is in place of dues or charges required of members of a labor
organization. The bill repeals these prohibitions and the associated misdemeanor
offense for violating the right-to-work law.
The bill explicitly provides that, when an all-union agreement is in effect, it is
not an unfair labor practice to encourage or discourage membership in a labor
organization or to deduct labor organization dues or assessment from an employee's
earnings. The bill sets conditions under which an employer may enter in an
all-union agreement. The bill also sets conditions for the continuation or
termination of all-union agreements, including that, if ERC determines there is
reasonable ground to believe employees in an all-union agreement have changed
their attitude about the agreement, ERC is required to conduct a referendum to
determine whether the employees wish to continue the agreement. ERC is required
to terminate an all-union agreement if it finds the union unreasonably refused to
admit an employee into the union.
Prevailing wage
The bill requires that laborers, workers, mechanics, and truck drivers
employed on the site of certain projects of public works be paid the prevailing wage
and not be required or allowed to work a greater number of hours per day and per
week than the prevailing hours of labor unless they are paid overtime for all hours
- 63 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
worked in excess of the prevailing hours of labor. Projects subject to the bill include
state and local projects of public works, including state highway projects, with
exceptions including projects below certain cost thresholds, minor service or
maintenance work, and certain residential projects. Under the bill, “prevailing wage
rate” is defined as the hourly basic rate of pay, plus the hourly contribution for bona
fide economic benefits, paid for a majority of the hours worked in a trade or
occupation in the area in which the project is located, except that, if there is no rate
at which a majority of those hours is paid, “prevailing wage rate” means the average
hourly basic rate of pay, plus the average hourly contribution for bona fide economic
benefits, paid for the highest-paid 51 percent of hours worked in a trade or
occupation in the area. “Prevailing hours of labor" is defined as 10 hours per day and
40 hours per week, excluding weekends and holidays. The bill requires DWD to
conduct investigations and hold public hearings as necessary to define the trades or
occupations that are commonly employed on projects that are subject to the
prevailing wage law and to inform itself of the prevailing wage rates in all areas of
the state for those trades or occupations, in order to determine the prevailing wage
rate for each trade or occupation. The bill contains certain other provisions
regarding the calculation of prevailing wage rates by DWD, including provisions
allowing persons to request recalculations or reviews of the prevailing wage rates
determined by DWD.
The bill requires contracts and notices for bids for projects subject to the bill to
include and incorporate provisions ensuring compliance with the requirements. The
bill also establishes a requirement that state agencies and local governments post
prevailing wage rates and hours of labor in areas readily accessible to persons
employed on the project or in sites regularly used for posting notices.
The bill makes a contractor that fails to pay the prevailing wage rate or
overtime pay to an employee, as required under the prevailing wage law, liable to the
affected employee for not only the amount of unpaid wages and overtime pay, but also
for liquidated damages in an amount equal to 100 percent of the unpaid wages and
overtime pay.
The bill includes, for both state and local projects of public works, provisions
regarding coverage, compliance, enforcement, and penalties, including 1)
requirements for affidavits to be filed by contractors affirming compliance with the
prevailing wage law; 2) record retention requirements for contractors regarding
wages paid to workers and provisions allowing for the inspection of those records by
DWD; 3) liability and penalty provisions for certain violations, including criminal
penalties; and 4) provisions prohibiting contracts from being awarded to persons who
have failed to comply with the prevailing wage law.
Family and medical leave
Under the current family and medical leave law, an employer that employs at
least 50 individuals on a permanent basis must permit an employee who has been
employed by the employer for more than 52 consecutive weeks and who has worked
for the employer for at least 1,000 hours during the preceding 52 weeks to take family
leave to care for a child, spouse, domestic partner, or parent of the employee who has
a serious health condition. An employer covered by the law must also permit an
- 64 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
employee to take up to two weeks of medical leave in a 12-month period when the
employee has a serious health condition. An employee may file a complaint with
DWD regarding an alleged violation of the family and medical leave law within 30
days after either the violation occurs or the employee should reasonably have known
that the violation occurred, whichever is later.
The bill makes the following changes to the family and medical leave law:
1. Requires employers that employ 25 or more employees on a permanent basis
to comply with the family and medical leave law.
2. Decreases the number of hours an employee is required to work before
qualifying for family and medical leave to 680 hours during the preceding 52 weeks.
3. Extends the time period in which an employee may file a complaint with
DWD to 300 days after either the violation occurs or the employee should reasonably
have known that the violation occurred, whichever is later.
4. Requires employers covered under the law to permit employees to take
family leave to provide care for a grandparent, grandchild, or sibling who has a
serious health condition.
5. Removes the age restriction from the definition of “child” for various
purposes under the family and medical leave law.
6. Requires employers to permit employees to take family leave to care for the
employee's child, spouse, domestic partner, parent, grandparent, grandchild, or
sibling who is in medical isolation and requires employers to permit employees to
take medical leave when the employee is in medical isolation. The bill defines
“medical isolation” to include when a local health officer or DHS advises that an
individual isolate or quarantine; when a health care professional, a local health
officer, or DHS advises that the individual seclude herself or himself when awaiting
the result of a diagnostic test for a communicable disease or when the individual is
infected with a communicable disease; and when an individual's employer advises
that an individual not come to the workplace due to a concern that the individual may
have been exposed to or infected with a communicable disease.
7. Requires employers to permit employees to take family leave in the instance
of the unexpected closure of the child care provider or school that the employee's
child, grandchild, or sibling attends or because of a qualifying exigency as to be
determined by DWD related to covered active duty, as defined in the bill, or
notification of an impending call or order to covered active duty of a child, spouse,
domestic partner, parent, grandparent, grandchild, or sibling who is a member of the
U.S. armed forces.
8. Requires employers to permit employees to take family leave to provide
caregiving services to a child, spouse, domestic partner, sibling, parent, grandparent,
or grandchild of the employee if the child, spouse, domestic partner, sibling, parent,
grandparent, or grandchild suffers from a chronic condition. The bill defines “chronic
condition” as a health condition, illness, impairment, or physical or mental condition
that involves any of the following: 1) a condition or disease that is persistent or
otherwise long-lasting in its effects; 2) a condition or disease that lasts for at least
three months; 3) a condition or disease that requires the individual to have
assistance with one or more essential daily activities; or 4) outpatient care that

requires continuing treatment or supervision by a health care provider. The bill also
includes adult children who suffer from a chronic condition in the definition of “child”
for the purposes of taking family leave for caregiving.
Small Business Retirement Savings Board; retirement savings program
The bill creates a Small Business Retirement Savings Board attached to DFI
and requires the board to establish and oversee a small business retirement savings
program for certain privately employed individuals who are not eligible for an
employer-sponsored retirement plan. The board must contract with a vendor
(investment administrator) to provide specified services in administering the
program, including investment services and record-keeping services.
Under the bill, the board consists of the following nine members: the state
treasurer or his or her designee; the secretary of financial institutions or his or her
designee; two members appointed by the governor; two members appointed,
respectively, by the speaker of the assembly and president of the senate; one member
appointed by the state treasurer; one member appointed by the State of Wisconsin
Investment Board; and one member appointed by the other members. The bill
requires certain members to possess specified attributes or experience, and all
members except the state treasurer and secretary of financial institutions, or their
designees, serve four-year terms.
Under the bill, the board must design the program to meet certain
requirements. Among these, the program must allow eligible employees to
contribute to their accounts through payroll deductions and require participating
employers to withhold from employees' wages, through payroll deductions,
employees' account contributions and remit those contributions directly to the
investment administrator. A “participating employer” is a private employer that
does not offer a retirement savings plan to all employees; has at least one employee
who is a resident of this state; provides notice to the board of its election to participate
in the program; and certifies that, on the date of this notice, it had 50 or fewer
employees. An “eligible employee” is an individual who resides in this state and who
is employed by a private employer that does not offer a retirement savings plan in
which the individual may participate. The bill defines “account” as a retirement
savings account established for an eligible employee under the program. Other
requirements of the program are that the administrative costs must be low and the
fee that the investment administrator may charge an eligible employee is limited to
a fixed monthly fee in an amount approved by the board. The program must also
allow an eligible employee who has established an account to continue the account
after separating from employment with a participating employer if the account is
maintained with a positive balance.
Under the bill, after electing to participate in the program, a participating
employer must provide notice to each of its eligible employees of the eligible
employee's right to opt out of the program. Unless the eligible employee opts out, the
participating employer must enroll the eligible employee in the program and begin
making payroll deductions, the amounts of which are remitted to the investment
administrator as account contributions of the employee. Unless a different account
type is offered and the employee selects another option, these contributions are made
- 66 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
to a Roth IRA for the employee. Unless the employee directs otherwise, during the
employee's first year of enrollment in the program, the participating employer must
make a payroll deduction each pay period at a rate of 5 percent of the employee's gross
wages, with this rate increasing by 1 percent per year until a maximum rate of 10
percent is reached. Under the program, the eligible employee must have certain
investment options within each account type, including a stable value or capital
preservation fund and a target date index fund or age-based fund. An eligible
employee's first $1,000 of contributions must be deposited in a stable value or capital
preservation fund, and thereafter, unless the employee selects a different
investment option, the employee's contributions must be deposited in a target date
index fund or age-based fund.
The bill specifies that, in establishing the program, the board may create or
impose any requirement or condition not inconsistent with the bill's requirements
that the board considers necessary for the effective functioning and widespread
utilization of the program. The bill also authorizes the board to enter into contracts
for services necessary for establishing and overseeing the program, including
services of financial institutions, attorneys, investment advisers, accountants,
consultants, and other professionals. The board may promulgate rules related to the
program. DFI must provide the board with assistance necessary for the program,
including staff, equipment, and office space. The board may delegate to DFI
responsibility for carrying out any day-to-day board function related to the
program.
Employment discrimination based on conviction record
The bill provides that it is employment discrimination because of conviction
record for a prospective employer to request conviction information from a job
applicant before the applicant has been selected for an interview. The bill, however,
does not prohibit an employer from notifying job applicants that an individual with
a particular conviction record may be disqualified by law or under the employer's
policies from employment in particular positions.
Employment discrimination based on gender expression and gender identity
Current law prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of a person's
sex or sexual orientation. The bill prohibits employers from discriminating against
an employee on the basis of the employee's gender identity or gender expression.
“Gender expression” is defined in the bill as an individual's actual or perceived
gender-related appearance, behavior, or expression, regardless of whether these
traits are stereotypically associated with the individual's assigned sex at birth.
“Gender identity” is defined in the bill an individual's internal understanding of the
individual's gender, or the individual's perceived gender identity.
Civil actions regarding employment discrimination
Under current fair employment law, an individual who alleges that an
employer has violated employment discrimination, unfair honesty testing, or unfair
genetic testing laws may file a complaint with DWD seeking action that will
effectuate the purpose of the fair employment law, including reinstating the
individual, providing back pay, and paying costs and attorney fees.
- 67 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
The bill permits DWD or an individual who is alleged or was found to have been
discriminated against or subjected to unfair honesty or genetic testing to bring an
action in circuit court to recover compensatory and punitive damages caused by the
act of discrimination, unfair honesty testing, or unfair genetic testing, in addition to
or in lieu of filing an administrative complaint. The action in circuit court must be
commenced within 300 days after the alleged discrimination, unfair honesty testing,
or unfair genetic testing occurred. The bill does not allow such an action for damages
to be brought against a local governmental unit or against an employer that employs
fewer than 15 individuals.
Under the bill, if the circuit court finds that a defendant has committed
employment discrimination, unfair honesty testing, or unfair genetic testing, the
circuit court may award back pay and any other relief that could have been awarded
in an administrative proceeding. In addition, the circuit court must order the
defendant to pay to the individual found to have been discriminated against or found
to have received unfair genetic testing or unfair honesty testing compensatory and
punitive damages in the amount that the circuit court finds appropriate, except that
the total amount of damages awarded for future economic losses and for pain and
suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other
noneconomic losses and punitive damages is subject to the following limitations:
1. If the defendant employs 100 or fewer employees, no more than $50,000.
2. If the defendant employs more than 100 but fewer than 201 employees, no
more than $100,000.
3. If the defendant employs more than 200 but fewer than 501 employees, no
more than $200,000.
4. If the defendant employs more than 500 employees, no more than $300,000.
The bill requires DWD to annually revise these amounts on the basis of the
change in the consumer price index in the previous year, if any positive change has
occurred.
Worker classification notices and information
The bill requires DWD to design and make available to employers a notice
regarding worker classification laws, requirements for employers and employees,
and penalties for noncompliance. Under the bill, all employers in this state must post
the notice in a conspicuous place where notices to employees are customarily posted.
The bill provides a penalty of not more than $100 for an employer that does not post
the notice as required. DWD must also establish and maintain on DWD's website
information regarding worker classification laws, requirements for employers and
employees, penalties for noncompliance, and contact information at each state
agency that administers worker classification laws.
Substance abuse prevention; employer registration
With certain exceptions, current law prohibits employees from using,
possessing, attempting to possess, distributing, delivering, or being under the
influence of a drug, or from using or being under the influence of alcohol, while
performing certain work on a project of public works or public utility project, and
requires that, before an employer may commence work on a project of public works

2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
or a public utility project, the employer have in place a written employee substance
abuse program.
The bill specifically allows DWD to enforce these provisions and requires
employers subject to these provisions to register with DWD. The bill allocates
registration fees to DWD's substance abuse prevention administration and
enforcement activities.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
Drug testing
Current state law requires DWD to establish a program to test certain
claimants who apply for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits for the presence of
controlled substances that is consistent with federal law. A claimant who tests
positive for a controlled substance for which the claimant does not have a
prescription is ineligible for UI benefits until certain requalification criteria are
satisfied or unless he or she enrolls in a substance abuse treatment program and
undergoes a job skills assessment, and a claimant who declines to submit to a test
is simply ineligible for benefits until he or she requalifies. The bill repeals the
requirement to establish the drug testing program.
Also under current law, an employer may voluntarily submit to DWD the
results of a preemployment test for the presence of controlled substances that was
conducted on an individual as a condition of an offer of employment or notify DWD
that an individual declined to submit to such a test. If DWD then verifies that
submission, the employee may be ineligible for benefits until he or she requalifies.
However, a claimant who tested positive may maintain eligibility by enrolling in a
substance abuse treatment program and undergoing a job skills assessment. The bill
repeals these preemployment drug testing provisions.
Benefit rates
Under current law, a person who qualifies for UI receives a weekly benefit equal
to a percentage of that person's past earnings, but the weekly benefit is capped at
$370. The bill changes the maximum weekly benefit in the following ways:
1. For benefits paid for weeks of unemployment beginning on or after January
2, 2022, but before January 1, 2023, the maximum weekly benefit is capped at $409.
2. For benefits paid for weeks of unemployment beginning on or after January
1, 2023, but before December 31, 2023, the maximum weekly benefit is capped at 50
percent of the state's annual average weekly wages.
3. For benefits paid for weeks of unemployment beginning on or after December
31, 2023, the maximum weekly benefit is capped at 75 percent of the state's annual
average weekly wages, or the maximum weekly benefit amount from the previous
year, whichever is greater.
Under the bill, DWD is required to calculate the state's annual average weekly
wage for each year based on quarterly wage reports that are submitted to DWD. The
state's annual average weekly wage is calculated by June 30 of each year and is used
to calculate the following year's maximum weekly benefit amount.

SENATE BILL 111
Waiting period
Currently, a claimant must wait one week after becoming eligible to receive UI
benefits before the claimant may receive benefits for a week of unemployment,
except for periods during which the waiting period is suspended. The waiting period
does not affect the maximum number of weeks of a claimant's benefit eligibility. The
bill deletes the one-week waiting period, thus permitting a claimant to receive UI
benefits beginning with his or her first week of eligibility.
Social security disability insurance payments
Under current law, in any week in any month that a claimant is issued a benefit
under the federal social security disability insurance program (SSDI benefits), that
claimant is ineligible for UI benefits. The bill repeals that prohibition and instead
requires DWD to reduce a claimant's UI benefit payments by the amount of SSDI
payments. The bill requires DWD to allocate a monthly SSDI payment by allocating
to each week the fraction of the payment attributable to that week.
Work search and registration
Under current law, a claimant for UI benefits is generally required to register
for work and to conduct a work search for each week in order to remain eligible.
Current law requires DWD to waive these requirements under certain
circumstances, for example, if a claimant who is laid off from work reasonably
expects to be recalled to work within 12 weeks, will start a new job within four weeks,
routinely obtains work through a labor union referral, or is participating in a
training or work-share program. Under current law, DWD may modify the statutory
waivers or establish additional waivers by rule only if doing so is required or
specifically allowed by federal law.
The bill removes the waiver requirements from statute and instead allows
DWD to establish waivers for the registration for work and work search
requirements by rule. The bill also specifies that the work search requirement does
not apply to a claimant who has been laid off but DWD determines that the claimant
has a reasonable expectation to be recalled to work.
Acceptance of suitable work
Under current law, if a claimant for UI benefits fails, without good cause, to
accept suitable work when offered, the claimant is ineligible to receive benefits until
he or she earns wages after the week in which the failure occurs equal to at least six
times the claimant's weekly UI benefit rate in covered employment. Current law
specifies what is considered “suitable work” for purposes of these provisions, with
different standards applying depending on whether six weeks have elapsed since the
claimant became unemployed. Once six weeks have elapsed since the claimant
became unemployed, the claimant is required to accept work that pays lower and
involves a lower grade of skill.
The bill modifies these provisions described above so that the claimant is not
required to accept less favorable work until 10 weeks have elapsed since the claimant
became unemployed.

SENATE BILL 111
Termination due to substantial fault
Under current law, a claimant for UI benefits whose work is terminated by his
or her employer for substantial fault by the claimant connected with the claimant's
work is ineligible to receive UI benefits until the claimant qualifies through
subsequent employment. With certain exceptions, current law defines “substantial
fault” to include those acts or omissions of a claimant over which the claimant
exercised reasonable control and that violate reasonable requirements of the
claimant's employer. The bill repeals this provision on substantial fault.
Quits due to nonsuitable work
Under current law, unless an exception applies, if a claimant for UI benefits
quits his or her job, the claimant is generally ineligible to receive unemployment
insurance benefits until he or she qualifies through subsequent employment. Under
one such exception, if a claimant quits his or her job and 1) the claimant accepted
work that was not suitable work under the UI law or work that the claimant could
have refused; and 2) the claimant terminated the work within 30 calendar days after
starting the work, the claimant remains eligible to collect UI benefits. Under the bill,
this exemption applies if the claimant terminated that work within 10 weeks after
starting the work.
Quits due to relocations
Under current law, if an employee's spouse is a member of the U.S. armed forces
on active duty and is relocated, and the employee quits his or her job in order to
relocate with his or her spouse, the employee remains eligible to collect UI benefits.
The bill expands this exception so that it applies to an employee who quits
employment in order to relocate with a spouse who is required by any employer, not
just the U.S. armed forces, to relocate.
Worker misclassification penalties
Current law requires DWD to assess an administrative penalty against an
employer engaged in construction projects or in the painting or drywall finishing of
buildings or other structures who knowingly and intentionally provides false
information to DWD for the purpose of misclassifying or attempting to misclassify
an individual who is an employee of the employer as a nonemployee under the UI law.
The penalty under current law is $500 for each employee who is misclassified, not
to exceed $7,500 per incident. Current law additionally requires DWD to assess an
administrative penalty against such an employer who, through coercion, requires an
individual to adopt the status of a nonemployee in the amount of $1,000 for each
individual so coerced, but not to exceed $10,000 per calendar year. Penalties are
deposited in the unemployment program integrity fund.
The bill removes the $7,500 and $10,000 limitations on these penalties and
provides that the penalties double for each act occurring after the date of the first
determination of a violation. The bill also removes the limitations on the types of
employers to which the penalties apply, allowing them to be assessed against any
type of employer that violates the above prohibitions.

Wage threshold for receipt of benefits
Under current law, a claimant for UI benefits is generally ineligible to receive
any benefits for a week if the claimant receives or is considered to have received
wages or other amounts from employment totaling more than $500. The bill repeals
this ineligibility provision. However, the bill does not affect the partial benefits
formula, which reduces a claimant's weekly UI benefit payment by a certain
percentage of wages earned in a week by the claimant.
Electronic transactions with DWD
Currently, with certain exceptions, each employer that has employees who are
engaged in employment covered by the UI law must file quarterly contribution (tax)
and employment and wage reports and make quarterly payment of its contributions
to DWD. An employer of 25 or more employees or an employer agent that files reports
on behalf of any employer must file its reports electronically. Current law also
requires each employer that makes contributions for any 12-month period ending
on June 30 equal to a total of at least $10,000 to make all contribution payments
electronically in the following year. Finally, current law allows DWD to provide a
secure means of electronic interchange between itself and employing units,
claimants, and other persons that, upon request to and with prior approval by DWD,
may be used for transmission or receipt of any document specified by DWD that is
related to the administration of the UI law in lieu of any other means of submission
or receipt.
The bill makes use of these electronic methods mandatory in all cases, unless
the employer or other person demonstrates good cause for being unable to use the
electronic method, as determined by DWD by rule. The bill also provides that DWD
may permit the use of electronic records and electronic signatures for any document
specified by DWD that is related to the administration of the UI law.
STATE EMPLOYMENT
Paid sick leave for limited term employees
Under current law, permanent and project state employees receive the
following paid leave: vacation; personal holidays; sick leave; and legal holidays. The
bill requires the state to provide paid sick leave to limited term employees of the state
at the same rate as to permanent and project state employees.
Paid parental leave
The bill requires the administrator of the Division of Personnel Management
in DOA to develop a program for paid parental leave for most state employees. The
bill requires the administrator to submit the plan for approval as a change to the
state compensation plan to the Joint Committee on Employment Relations. If
JCOER approves the plan, the plan becomes effective immediately.
The bill also requires the Board of Regents of the UW System to develop a plan
for a program for paid parental leave for employees of the system and requires the
board to submit the plan to the administrator of the Division of Personnel
Management in DOA with its compensation plan changes for the 2021-23 biennium.

Vacation hours for state employees
The bill provides additional annual leave hours to state employees during their
third, fourth, and fifth years of service.
Under current law, state employees who are in nonexempt status under the
federal Fair Labor Standards Act earn annual leave at the rate of 104 hours per year
of continuous service during the first five years of service and, on an employee's fifth
anniversary of continuous service, the rate increases to 144 hours of annual leave per
year of continuous service. Under the bill, beginning on the employee's second
anniversary, a state employee in nonexempt status begins earning vacation hours at
the rate of 120 hours per year of service.
Under current law, state employees who are in exempt status under the federal
Fair Labor Standards Act earn annual vacation at the rate of 120 hours per year of
continuous service during the first five years of service and, on the fifth anniversary
of continuous service, the rate increases to 160 hours of annual leave per year of
continuous service. Under the bill, beginning on the employee's second anniversary,
a state employee in exempt status begins earning vacation hours at the rate of 136
hours per year of service.
Merit pay raises for state public defenders
Under current law, there is an assistant state public defender pay progression
plan, which consists of 17 hourly salary steps, with each step equal to
one-seventeenth of the difference between the lowest hourly salary and the highest
hourly salary. The plan provides that no salary adjustment under the plan may
increase an assistant state public defender's salary by more than 10 percent of his
or her base pay during a fiscal year.
The bill allows the state public defender board to provide merit-based pay
raises under the assistant state public defender pay progression plan in fiscal year
2022 that may exceed 10 percent of an assistant state public defender's base pay for
assistant state public defenders who were employed by the state public defender
board before July 1, 2021.
Director of the Legislative Technology Services Bureau
The director of the Legislative Technology Services Bureau is currently
assigned to executive salary group five, which, effective January 3, 2021, has an

training, skill development, and economic recovery for individuals and businesses.
The grants may be used for virtual and in-person job training, employment
navigators or coaches, skill assessment, transportation, soft skill development,
career or talent search services, and other programs to return employees to the labor
market.
Pandemic workforce training program grants
The bill creates a pandemic workforce training program to be administered by
DWD. Under the program, DWD is required to award grants to public and private
organizations for the development and implementation of pandemic workforce
training programs. The grants may be used for virtual and in-person job training,
employment navigators or coaches, skill assessment, transportation, soft skill
development, career or talent search services, and other programs to return
employees to the labor market. The bill also permits DWD to require a public or
private organization, as a condition of receiving a grant, to provide matching funds
at a percentage to be determined by DWD.
Green jobs training program grants
The bill creates a green jobs training program to be administered by DWD.
Under the program, DWD is required to award grants to public and private
organizations for the development and implementation of green jobs training
programs. The bill defines green jobs as jobs that produce goods or provide services
that benefit the environment or conserve natural resources. The bill also permits
DWD to require a public or private organization, as a condition of receiving a grant,
to provide matching funds at a percentage to be determined by DWD.
Health care recruitment initiative
The bill requires DWD, in coordination with local workforce development
boards, to 1) undertake a statewide recruitment initiative to promote and connect
individuals with nurse aide instructional programs and employment opportunities
and to promote other health care provider employment opportunities and 2) create
a free, four-hour course that individuals may take to explore career opportunities
within the field of human services or health care delivery.
Project SEARCH program
Under current law, DWD is authorized to enter into contracts to provide
employment skills services to individuals with developmental disabilities under the
Project SEARCH program. The program is currently operated by the Cincinnati
Children's Hospital, and DWD administers the program for residents of this state.
The bill changes the source of funding for the program to a dedicated appropriation
in DWD. The bill also specifically authorizes DWD to engage in a number of activities
related to the Project SEARCH program.
Hire Heroes program
Under current law, DWD administers the Hire Heroes program, which provides
transitional jobs to veterans and reimburses employers of veterans for wages and

other related costs. In order for a veteran to be eligible to participate in the program,
he or she must be a DVA-certified veteran, be at least 18 years old, be ineligible to
participate in the Wisconsin Works program, be unemployed for at least four weeks,
and satisfy any applicable substance abuse screening, testing, and treatment.
Prospective program participants must also submit an application to the program no
later than seven years after the date of discharge from military service. The bill
removes the seven-year limit on when veterans may submit an application to the
program.
Modification to employment transit assistance program
Under current law, DWD is required to administer an employment transit
assistance program to address the deficiency in access to employment locations for
workers and persons seeking employment. Current law limits funding under the
program to projects in outlying suburban and sparsely populated and developed
areas that are not adequately served by a mass transit system. The bill removes
those geographic restrictions.
Penalties for uninsured employers
Under current law, DWD is required to assess an administrative penalty
against an employer who requires an employee to pay for any part of worker's
compensation insurance or who fails to provide mandatory worker's compensation
insurance coverage. If the employer violates those requirements, for the first 10
days, the penalty under current law is not less than $100 and not more than $1,000
for such a violation. If the employer violates those requirements for more than 10
days, the penalty under current law is not less than $10 and not more than $100 for
each day of such a violation.
The bill provides that the penalty for violations occurring after the second such
violation is $3,000 per violation, or three times the amount of the insurance premium
that would have been payable, whichever is greater. The bill also provides that the
penalty for violations occurring after the third such violation is $4,000 per violation,
or four times the amount of the insurance premium that would have been payable,
whichever is greater.
Also under current law, if an employer who is required to provide worker's
compensation insurance coverage provides false information about the coverage to
his or her employees or contractors who request information about the coverage, or
who fails to notify a person who contracts with the employer that the coverage has
been canceled in relation to the contract, DWD is required to assess a penalty of not
less than $100 and not more than $1,000 for each such violation.
The bill provides that the penalty for violations occurring after the third such
violation is $3,000 per violation, and $4,000 for violations occurring after the fourth
such violation.
Substantial fault
Currently, under the worker's compensation law, an employer is not liable for
temporary disability benefits during an employee's healing period if the employee is
suspended or terminated from employment due to substantial fault by the employee
connected with the employee's work. With certain exceptions, current law defines
“substantial fault” to include those acts or omissions of an employee over which the

claimant exercised reasonable control and that violate reasonable requirements of
the claimant's employer. The bill repeals this provision on substantial fault.
Electronic transmission of records and payments
Under current law, in actions regarding worker's compensation claims, most
information, forms, and documents must be mailed using the U.S. mail or provided
in-person. The bill allows DWD, the Division of Hearings and Appeals in DOA, and
the Labor and Industry Review Commission to send certain information, forms,
notices, and documents regarding worker's compensation actions electronically,
rather than exclusively by U.S. mail, including information regarding all of the
following: hearings, findings and awards, preference for claims under bankruptcy,
employer penalties, hazardous exposure, levies for delinquent payments, and
citations. Under the bill, DWD, DHA, and LIRC must get consent to provide the
information, forms, notices, and documents electronically.
Also, the bill requires payments for worker's compensation awards to be made
by direct deposit or electronic funds transfer unless the claimant cannot receive
payments electronically, does not want to receive the payment electronically, or if the
insurer, self-insured employer, or third-party payer is not able to issue payments
electronically.
ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE
Equal rights hearings
Under current law, when DWD holds a complaint hearing regarding an alleged
open housing violation, alleged discrimination in a public place of accommodation or
amusement, or alleged discrimination, unfair honesty testing, or unfair genetic
testing, DWD is required to hold the hearing in the county in which the violation is
alleged to have occurred. The bill removes the requirement that such hearings be
held in the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred, and requires
DWD to designate the place of hearing, which may include a remote, web-based, or
in-person hearing in a location accessible and in proximity to the parties.
Fees for work permits for minors
Under current law, a portion of fees collected by local permit officers for work
permits for minors is forwarded to DWD. A portion of the fees collected by or
forwarded to DWD for these permits is appropriated to DWD, and a portion of those
fees is deposited into the general fund and is available for general purpose revenue.
The bill credits the entire amount of fees collected by or forwarded to DWD to the
appropriation account for the permit system for employment of minors.
Youth apprenticeship funding
Under current law, DWD is authorized to provide a youth apprenticeship
program and may award grants to local partnerships for the implementation and
coordination of local youth apprenticeship programs. Current law requires DWD to
fund the development of youth apprenticeship program curricula from its general
program operations appropriation. The bill permits the funding of youth
apprenticeship program curricula development from any allowable source.

Worker's compensation uninsured employers fund
DWD administers the worker's compensation program in this state. Employers
are required to have worker's compensation insurance or to self-insure. The
program includes an uninsured employers fund (UEF), which is used to pay worker's
compensation benefits on claims filed by employees who are injured while working
for uninsured employers in this state. The money for the UEF comes from, among
various sources, penalties assessed against uninsured employers. The bill changes
the appropriation for the UEF from a sum sufficient appropriation to a continuing
appropriation.
Reimbursements for supplemental worker's compensation benefits
Under current law, worker's compensation insurers are required to pay
supplemental benefits to certain employees who were permanently disabled by an
injury that is compensable under worker's compensation.
DWD is authorized to collect up to $5,000,000 from insurers that provide
worker's compensation insurance to provide those supplemental benefits. This
money must be used exclusively to provide reimbursements to insurers that pay
those supplemental benefits and that request reimbursements. The bill creates a
new, separate appropriation in the worker's compensation operations fund, to be
used exclusively to provide these reimbursements. The bill does not increase

PFAS standards
The bill requires DNR to establish and enforce various standards for per- and
poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The PFAS group of substances includes several
thousand chemicals; two of the most well known are perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS).
The bill requires DNR to establish, by rule, acceptable levels and standards,
monitoring requirements, and required response actions for any PFAS in drinking
water, groundwater, surface water, air, solid waste, beds of navigable waters, and soil
and sediment, if the department determines that the substance may be harmful to
human health or the environment. These rules must cover, at a minimum, PFOA and
PFOS, as well as perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorononanoic acid
(PFNA), and perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS).
The bill also requires DNR to establish air emission standards for PFAS to
provide adequate protection for public health and welfare, taking into account
- 77 -

SENATE BILL 111
energy, economic, and environmental impacts and other costs related to the emission
source.
Under current law, DNR maintains a list of substances that have a reasonable
probability of entering the groundwater resources of the state and that are shown to
involve public health concerns. Under the bill, DNR is required to add to this list
PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFNA, PFBS, and all other PFAS that have a reasonable
probability of entering the groundwater resources of the state and that are shown to
involve public health concerns. Under current law, DHS recommends enforcement
standards for substances on this list, which DNR then proposes as DNR rules in its
rule-making process. Until DNR establishes such rules, the bill requires DNR to
apply any DHS-recommended groundwater enforcement standard for any PFAS as
an interim standard for groundwater and as an interim maximum contaminant level
for drinking water.
The bill also provides that DNR may, if it determines doing so is necessary to
protect human health or the environment, require a person who possesses or controls
PFAS to provide proof of financial responsibility for remediation and long-term care
to address contamination by a potential discharge of PFAS or environmental
pollution that may be caused by a discharge of PFAS.
In addition, the bill requires DNR to set criteria for certifying laboratories to
test for PFAS, and to certify laboratories that meet these criteria. Before these
criteria are set, the bill allows DNR to require testing for PFAS to be done according
to nationally recognized standards.
Finally, the bill requires a person who generates solid or hazardous waste at a
site or facility under investigation by DNR to provide DNR with access to information
relating to any transportation to or treatment, storage, or disposal at another site,
facility, or location.
PFAS appropriations
The bill creates two new appropriations related to PFAS for the purposes of
sampling and testing public water supplies for PFAS and collecting and disposing of
PFAS-containing fire fighting foam.
PFAS rules
The bill allows DNR to promulgate emergency rules relating to the collection
and disposal of PFAS-containing fire fighting foam.
PFAS municipal grant program
The bill creates a municipal grant program, administered by DNR, to address
PFAS. Under the program, DNR must provide grants to cities, towns, villages,
counties, utility districts, lake protections districts, sewerage districts, and
municipal airports. DNR may award a grant only if the applicant tested or trained
with a PFAS-containing fire fighting foam in accordance with applicable state and
federal law, or if a third party tested or trained with PFAS-containing fire fighting
foam within the boundaries of the municipality; the applicant applied biosolids to
land under a water pollution permit issued by DNR; or PFAS are impacting the
applicant's drinking water supply or surface water or groundwater within the
municipality and the responsible party is unknown or is unwilling or unable to take
the necessary response actions.

Under the bill, grants provided under this program may be used to investigate
potential PFAS impacts in order to reduce or eliminate environmental
contamination; treat or dispose of PFAS-containing fire fighting foam containers;
sample a private water supply within three miles of a site or facility known to contain
PFAS or to have caused a PFAS discharge; provide a temporary emergency water
supply, a water treatment system, or bulk water to replace water contaminated with
PFAS; conduct emergency, interim, or remedial actions to mitigate, treat, dispose of,
or remove PFAS contamination; or remove or treat PFAS in public water systems in
areas where PFAS levels exceed the maximum contaminant level for PFAS in
drinking water or an enforcement standard for PFAS groundwater or in areas where
the state has issued a health advisory for PFAS.
An applicant that receives a grant under this program must contribute
matching funds equal to at least 20 percent of the amount of the grant. The applicant
must apply for a grant on a form prescribed by DNR and must include any
information that DNR finds is necessary to determine the eligibility of the project,
identify the funding requested, determine the priority of the project, and calculate
the amount of a grant. In awarding grants under this program, DNR must consider
the applicant's demonstrated commitment to performing and completing eligible
activities, including the applicant's financial commitment and ability to successfully
administer grants; the degree to which the project will have a positive impact on
public health and the environment; and any other criteria that DNR finds necessary
to prioritize the funds available for awarding grants.
Concentrated animal feeding operations
Under current law, a person who operates a concentrated animal feeding
operation (CAFO) must have a Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(WPDES) permit from DNR. A CAFO is a livestock operation that contains at least
1,000 animal units, that discharges pollutants into a navigable water, or that
contaminates a well. Current law requires a CAFO operator with a WPDES permit
to pay an annual fee of $345 to DNR. The bill increases the amount of this annual
fee to $545. The bill also requires a CAFO operator applying for a new WPDES
permit to pay a $3,270 application fee.
Well compensation grant program
The bill makes changes to the well compensation grant program currently
administered by DNR.
Under current law, an individual owner or renter of a contaminated private well
may apply for a grant from DNR to cover a portion of the costs to treat the water,
reconstruct the well, construct a new well, connect to a public water supply, or fill and
seal the well. To be eligible for a grant, the well owner's or renter's annual family
income may not exceed $65,000. A grant awarded under the program may not cover
any portion of a project's eligible costs in excess of $16,000 and, of those costs, may
not exceed 75 percent of a project's eligible costs, meaning that a grant may not
exceed $12,000. In addition, if the well owner's or renter's annual family income
exceeds $45,000, the amount of the award is reduced by 30 percent of the amount by
which the annual family income exceeds $45,000.

SENATE BILL 111
The bill increases the family income limit to $100,000. In addition, under the
bill, a well owner or renter whose family income is below the state's median income
may receive a grant of up to 100 percent of a project's eligible costs, not to exceed
$16,000. The bill also eliminates the requirement to reduce an award by 30 percent
if the well owner's or renter's family income exceeds $45,000.
Under current law, a well that is contaminated only by nitrates is eligible for
a grant only if the well is a water supply for livestock, is used at least three months
in each year, and contains nitrates in excess of 40 parts per million. The bill
eliminates these restrictions for claims based on nitrates, and instead allows grants
to be issued for wells based on contamination by at least 10 parts per million of
nitrate nitrogen. The bill also allows grants to be issued for wells contaminated by
at least 10 parts per billion of arsenic.
Under current law, DNR must issue grants in the order in which completed
claims are received. Under the bill, if there are insufficient funds to pay claims, DNR
may, for claims based on nitrate contamination, prioritize claims that are based on
higher levels of nitrate contamination.
Lead service line replacement
Under current law, DOA and DNR administer the Safe Drinking Water Loan
Program (SDWLP), which provides financial assistance from the environmental
improvement program to municipalities, and to the private owners of community
water systems that serve municipalities, for projects that will help the municipality
comply with federal drinking water standards. DNR establishes a funding list for
SDWLP projects and DOA allocates funding for those projects.
The bill creates a general fund appropriation under the environmental
improvement program for projects involving forgivable loans to private users of
public water systems to cover not more than 50 percent of the cost to replace lead
service lines.
Well construction notification fee
Under current law, no person may construct a high capacity well, which is a well
with a capacity of more than 100,000 gallons per day, without prior approval of DNR
and payment of a $500 fee. Prior to construction of a well that is not a high-capacity
well, the owner of the property where the well is to be constructed must notify DNR
and pay a fee of $50. The bill increases the notification fee to $70.
Well construction variances application fee
Under current law, DNR regulates groundwater withdrawal. Administrative
rules promulgated by DNR establish requirements for the construction of wells and
provide that a person may request a variance from those rules if strict compliance
with the requirements is not feasible. DNR may determine whether a variance is
justified and may condition the issuance of a variance on additional construction
features to safeguard groundwater. The bill provides that DNR must collect a $100
fee from a person requesting a well construction variance.
Water stewardship certification
The bill creates a grant program for DATCP to provide grants to reimburse the
costs for agricultural producers to apply for a certification of water stewardship from
- 80 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
the Alliance for Water Stewardship. The grants must be made directly to the
producer, and may not be used to pay the costs of operational changes needed to
achieve certification.
Procedures under the clean water fund program and safe drinking water
loan program
The bill makes various changes to the process for applying for financial
assistance under the Clean Water Fund Program (CWFP) and the SDWLP. The
CWFP, which is administered by DNR, provides financial assistance to
municipalities for projects to control water pollution, such as sewage treatment
plants.
Under current law, a municipality that intends to apply for financial assistance
under either program must submit notice of its intent to apply to DNR at least six
months before the beginning of the fiscal year in which it will request to receive the
assistance. The bill eliminates the requirement to submit a notice of intent to apply
before applying.
Current law also requires an applicant for financial assistance under the
SDWLP to submit an engineering report as required by DNR by rule. The bill
changes this provision to allow DNR to determine, by rule, whether to require
submission of engineering reports. Under the bill, if an engineering report is
required by DNR, the applicant must submit the report either before or at the same
time as the application.
In addition, current law requires an applicant for financial assistance under
the SDWLP to submit the application on or before the June 30 before the fiscal year
in which the applicant wishes to receive funding, with certain exceptions. The bill
removes this requirement and instead requires DNR to provide, at least annually,
instructions for submitting applications, including the deadline for submittal, if any.
Finally, under the current SDWLP, if funding is allocated for a loan and the loan
is not closed before June 30 of the year following the year in which funding is
allocated, DOA must release the allocated funding. The bill repeals this provision.
Clean water fund program appropriation
The CWFP receives federal capitalization grants for a state revolving loan fund,
for which the state provides a 20 percent match. An appropriation under current law
provides a certain amount from the federal revolving loan fund account for general
operations of the CWFP. The bill changes this appropriation to provide all moneys
received from the federal revolving loan fund account for general operations of the
CWFP.
Environmental improvement fund revenue bonding limit
Current law authorizes the issuance of revenue bonds for the CWFP and the
SDWLP under the environmental improvement fund, but limits the principal
amount of those revenue bonds to $2,526,700,000. The bill increases that limit by
$385,000,000, to $2,911,700,000.
Bonding for nonpoint source water pollution abatement
Under current law, the state may contract up to $50,550,000 in public debt to
provide financial assistance for projects that control pollution that comes from
- 81 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
diffuse sources rather than a single concentrated discharge source in areas that
qualify as high priority due to water quality problems. The bill increases the bonding
authority for these projects by $6,500,000.
Bonding for Great Lakes contaminated sediment removal
Under current law, the state may contract up to $36,000,000 in public debt to
provide financial assistance for projects to remove contaminated sediment from Lake
Michigan or Lake Superior, or a tributary of Lake Michigan or Lake Superior, if DNR
has identified the body of water as being impaired by the sediment. The bill increases
the bonding authority for sediment removal projects by $25,000,000.
Bonding for urban storm water, flood control, and riparian restoration
Under current law, the state may contract up to $57,600,000 in public debt to
provide financial assistance for projects that manage urban storm water and runoff
and for flood control and riparian restoration projects. The bill increases the bonding
authority for these projects by $12,000,000 and allocates $8,000,000 of those
amounts in fiscal biennium 2021-23 for cost-sharing grants under the municipal
flood control and riparian restoration program administered by DNR under current
law. The program provides financial assistance to local units of government for
facilities and structures for the collection and transmission of storm water and
groundwater and for the floodproofing of public and private structures that remain
in the 100-year floodplain.
Storm water management
Under current law, a person may need to obtain a storm water discharge permit
from DNR, and pay a permit fee, in order to discharge storm water. Current law
appropriates money annually from the general fund for the administration,
including enforcement, of the storm water discharge permit program (storm water
permit appropriation). An annual appropriation is expendable only up to the amount
shown in the schedule and only for the fiscal year for which made. Storm water
permit fees collected by DNR are credited to the storm water permit appropriation.
The bill changes the storm water permit appropriation from an annual to a
continuing appropriation, which is an appropriation that is expendable until fully
depleted or repealed by subsequent action of the legislature. Under the bill, the
storm water permit appropriation is still funded by all moneys received from storm
water permit fees.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP
Elimination of the land recycling loan program
Under the environmental improvement fund, the state provides financial
assistance to local governmental units for certain projects. The environmental
improvement fund is made up of three programs: the CWFP; the SDWLP; and the
land recycling (brownfields) loan program, which provides financial assistance for
the investigation and remediation of certain contaminated properties.
The bill eliminates the land recycling loan program, which has not provided
loans since 2008. Under the bill, current law provisions continue to apply to any
outstanding loans under the program that are in repayment. The bill also requires
- 82 -

SENATE BILL 111
any unallocated balance of moneys appropriated to the land recycling loan program
to be transferred to the CWFP.
RECYCLING
Local regulation of certain containers
Current law limits the ability of political subdivisions (cities, villages, towns,
and counties) to regulate auxiliary containers. “Auxiliary container" is defined as “a
bag, cup, bottle, can, or other packaging that is designed to be reusable or single-use;
that is made of cloth, paper, plastic, cardboard, corrugated material, aluminum,
glass, postconsumer recycled material, or similar material or substrates, including
coated, laminated, or multilayer substrates; and that is designed for transporting or
protecting merchandise, food, or beverages from a food service or retail facility.” In
general, a political subdivision may not 1) enact or enforce an ordinance regulating
the use, disposition, or sale of auxiliary containers, 2) prohibit or restrict auxiliary
containers, or 3) impose a fee, charge, or surcharge on auxiliary containers.
The bill provides that DNR may grant a political subdivision an exemption from
these prohibitions as they apply to a specific type of container. A political subdivision
seeking an exemption must make an application to DNR that describes the type of
container to which the exemption would apply and demonstrate that the political
subdivision cannot sell the type of container at a price that exceeds the recycling
processing costs of the container. If DNR grants the exemption, DNR must specify
the period of the exemption, which may not exceed two years.
E-Cycle grants
The bill requires DNR to create a program to provide grants to expand
electronics recycling collection in rural counties of the state. Grants may be provided
to local units of government, businesses, and nonprofit entities for hosting a
collection site or collection event in a rural county of the state.
GENERAL ENVIRONMENT
Tipping fee exemption for waste-to-energy facilities
Current law imposes several fees, commonly called tipping fees, on generators
of solid waste that is disposed of at a landfill or other waste disposal facility. Under
current law, a facility that recycles construction, demolition, and remodeling
materials is exempt from these tipping fees, in an amount equal to the weight of
residue generated by the recycling process or 30 percent of the total weight of
material accepted by the recycling facility, whichever is less. To be eligible for this
exemption, the facility must be licensed as a solid waste processing facility; the
facility's plan of operation must require reporting of the volume or weight of
materials processed, recycled, and discarded; and the facility must be in compliance
with its plan of operation.
The bill creates a similar exemption from tipping fees for existing facilities that
incinerate solid waste for the purpose of energy recovery, commonly called
waste-to-energy facilities. To be eligible for this exemption, the facility must be
licensed as a municipal solid waste combustor; the facility's plan of operation must
require reporting of the weight of material coming into the facility, and the weight
of material rejected and residue produced by the facility and where the rejected
- 83 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
material and residue is sent; and the facility must be in compliance with its plan of
operation. The exemption does not apply to ash residue generated at these facilities.
The bill also makes a terminology change, referring to facilities exempt from
the tipping fee as “qualified facilities” instead of “qualified materials recovery
facilities.”
Ban on coal tar-based sealants
The bill prohibits the sale of coal tar-based sealant products and high PAH
sealant products (products with more than 0.1 percent polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons by weight) beginning January 1, 2022, and prohibits the use of such
products beginning July 1, 2022. A person who violates these prohibitions is subject
to the same penalty that applies under current law to other general environmental
provisions, which is a forfeiture of between $10 and $5,000 for each violation.
Municipal flood control aid
The bill requires DNR to award, from the amounts appropriated to DNR to
provide assistance for municipal flood control, $1,000,000 in grants in each fiscal
year of the 2021-23 fiscal biennium for the preparation of flood insurance studies
and other flood mapping projects.
Lapsing certain appropriations
The bill lapses, to the general fund in fiscal year 2021-22, $2,500 from the DNR
appropriation for Great Lakes remediation; $37,800 from the DNR appropriation for
maintenance and development of state parks and lands; and $7,200 from the DNR
appropriation for acquisition and development of new buildings.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
Emergency assistance for needy families
Under current law, DCF administers a program to distribute emergency
assistance funds to qualifying families who are homeless or who are facing
impending homelessness. Current law describes several scenarios that constitute
“homelessness or impending homelessness” for purposes of receiving the emergency
assistance. One scenario under current law is if the family receives an eviction notice
due to its inability to make rent, mortgage, or property tax payments that results
from a financial hardship. Under current law, a family can only qualify for this
emergency assistance once in a 12-month period. DCF rules specify certain financial
and nonfinancial eligibility requirements and the maximum payment amounts for
the emergency assistance.
Under current DCF rule, a family is defined as one or more dependent children
and a qualified caretaker relative who lives with the child, and a family's annual
gross income may not exceed 115 percent of the federal poverty line in order to
qualify. The maximum payment amount is calculated by multiplying the maximum
payment amount per family member for a family of that size by the number of family
members, or is determined by the amount of actual financial need due to the
emergency, whichever is less. Under current DCF rule, the maximum payment
amounts for families range from $258 per family member for a two-person family to
$110 per family member for a family of six or more people.
- 84 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
The bill makes the following changes to the emergency assistance program:
1. Adds that an individual who is between the ages of 18 and 24 may qualify
for emergency assistance payments even if that person is not a qualifying caretaker
relative of a child.
2. Increases the maximum family annual gross income to 200 percent of the
federal poverty line.
3. Allows a family to receive emergency assistance once in a six-month period
instead of once in a 12-month period.
4. Sets the maximum payment at an amount set by DCF by publication in the
Wisconsin Administrative Register, regardless of the size of the family, or the actual
financial need of the family due to the emergency, whichever is less.
The bill also specifies that, during a national emergency declared by the U.S.
president or a state of emergency declared by the governor, a family is considered to
be facing impending homelessness if it cannot make rent, mortgage, or property tax
payments regardless of whether the family has received notice that it will be evicted
if the payments are not made immediately.
Definition of “domestic abuse” in the emergency assistance program
Under the emergency assistance program, a family is considered to be homeless
or facing impending homelessness if certain conditions apply, including if a member
of the family was a victim of domestic abuse. Under the program, “domestic abuse”
has the same definition as under the statute establishing arrest and prosecution
procedures for domestic abuse incidents.
Also under current law, however, DCF is required under the Wisconsin Works
(W-2) program to promulgate rules for screening victims of domestic abuse, and
those rules must specify the evidence that is sufficient to establish that an individual
is or has been a victim of domestic abuse or is at risk of further domestic abuse. Under
current law, the W-2 program provides, among other things, work experience and
benefits for low-income custodial parents who are at least 18 years old.
The bill eliminates the definition of domestic abuse in the emergency assistance
program. Instead, it provides that evidence that is sufficient under the W-2 domestic
abuse screening program to establish that an individual is or has been a victim of
domestic abuse is also sufficient for that purpose under the emergency assistance
program.
Child care quality improvement program
Under Wisconsin Shares, which is a part of the W-2 program, an individual
who is the parent of a child under the age of 13 or, if the child is disabled, under the
age of 19, who needs child care services to participate in various education or work
activities, and who satisfies other eligibility criteria may receive a child care subsidy
for child care services under Wisconsin Shares. Under current law, DCF sets the
maximum payment rates for child care providers who provide services under
Wisconsin Shares and may modify an individual child care provider's payment rate
in the following manner on the basis of the child care provider's quality rating under
the Young Star system: a provider who receives a one-star rating may be denied
payment; a provider who receives a two-star rating may have the maximum
payment rate reduced by up to 5 percent; a provider who receives a three-star rating
- 85 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
may receive up to the maximum payment rate; a provider who receives a four-star
rating may have the maximum payment rate increased by up to 15 percent; and a
provider who receives a five-star rating may have the maximum payment rate
increased by up to 30 percent.
The bill eliminates the current law method by which DCF may modify
payments to child care providers under Wisconsin Shares based on a child care
provider's rating under the quality rating system known as Young Star. The bill
instead authorizes DCF to establish a program for making monthly payments and
monthly per-child payments to certified child care providers, licensed child care
centers, and child care programs established or contracted for by a school board. The
bill allows DCF to promulgate rules to implement the program, including
establishing eligibility requirements and payment amounts and setting
requirements for how recipients may use the payments. The bill funds the program
through a new appropriation and by allocating federal moneys, including child care
development funds and moneys received under the Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families block grant program.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
Under current law, DCF allocates specific amounts of federal moneys, including
child care development funds and moneys received under the Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program for various public assistance
programs. Under the bill, TANF funding allocations are changed in the following
ways, as compared to the funding allocation in the 2019-21 fiscal biennium:
1. For Wisconsin Works benefits, agency contracts, and job access loans, the
total funding is increased by 20 percent.
2. For emergency assistance payments, funding is increased by 73 percent.
3. For grants to Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation, Inc., for distribution to
programs that provide civil legal services to low-income families, funding is doubled.
4. For the Transform Milwaukee and Transitional Jobs programs, funding is
increased by 49 percent.
5. For direct child care services, child care administration, and child care
improvement programs, total funding is decreased by 7 percent.
6. For kinship care payments, safety and out-of-home placement services, and
child abuse and neglect prevention services, total funding is increased by 10 percent.
7. For grants to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, funding is increased by
5 percent.
8. For the earned income tax credit supplement, funding is increased by 34
percent.
9. For the support of the dependent children of recipients of supplemental
security income, funding is decreased by 27 percent.
10. For all other programs under TANF, funding is continued with a funding
change of less than 5 percent.
The bill additionally allocates $500,000 of TANF funding in each fiscal year to
fund the Jobs for America's Graduates programs to improve social, academic, and
employment skills of youth who are eligible to receive TANF.
- 86 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
Also, the bill specifies that, with respect to a TANF-funded contract for
services, “allocation” means the amount under the contract that DCF is obligated to
pay.
Grants for homelessness case management services
Under current law, DOA may award 10 annual grants from TANF funds of up
to $50,000 to homeless shelter facilities to provide case management services for
homeless families. The bill increases the annual limit on grants to a shelter facility
from $50,000 to $75,000 and eliminates the restriction that limits DOA to making
no more than 10 grants in total each year.
Civil legal services grants
Under current law, DCF is directed to allocate in each fiscal year specific
amounts of money, including federal moneys received under the TANF block grant
program, for various public assistance programs. Under current law, DCF provides
funding to the Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation), to
provide civil legal services to TANF-eligible individuals in two ways:
1. DCF provides up to $100,000 in each fiscal year in matching funds to the
Foundation for the provision of civil legal services to eligible individuals. This grant
does not specify what types of civil legal services may be provided.
2. DCF provides a $500,000 grant in each fiscal year to the Foundation to
provide grants to programs, up to $75,000 each, that provide certain legal services
to eligible individuals. The legal services provided through this grant are limited to
legal services in civil matters related to domestic abuse or sexual abuse or to
restraining orders or injunctions for individuals at risk.
The bill removes the grant that requires matching funds and increases the
grant to provide certain legal services to eligible individuals to $1,000,000 per fiscal
year. Under the bill, the Foundation may additionally use this funding to provide
to eligible individuals civil legal services related to eviction. The bill removes the
$75,000 cap on grants provided by the Foundation to individual programs.
Internet assistance program
The bill requires DCF to establish an Internet assistance program, under which
it makes payments to Internet service providers on behalf of low-income individuals
to assist with paying for Internet service. The bill requires that other assistance
program options be exhausted before assistance is provided under this program. The
bill allows DCF to contract for the administration of the program. The bill requires
DCF to promulgate rules to implement the program, including a requirement that
the family income of a recipient not exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty line.
Under the bill, the new program is funded through an appropriation from the general
fund and from $10,000,000 that the bill requires DCF to allocate from federal
moneys, including moneys received under the TANF block grant program.
Foster care youth driver's licensing
The bill requires DCF to establish or contract for a driver education program
for individuals who are 15 years of age or older and in out-of-home care. The bill
requires the program to assist those individuals with identifying and enrolling in an
appropriate driver education course and obtaining an operator's license. The bill
- 87 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
authorizes DCF to pay, for any individual in the program, any fees required to enroll
in a driver education course or to obtain an operator's license.
Offender reentry demonstration project
Under current law, DCF was required to establish a five-year offender reentry
demonstration project in the 2017-18 fiscal year. The project focuses on noncustodial
fathers in the city of Milwaukee. Under current law, DCF was to conduct an
evaluation of the project by June 30, 2023. The bill extends the demonstration
project to six years and the deadline for an evaluation to June 30, 2024.
Transferring Head Start state supplement to DCF
The bill transfers the Head Start state supplement from DPI to DCF. The bill
transfers from the state superintendent to the secretary of children and families the
responsibilities of determining whether agencies are eligible for designation as Head
Start agencies under the federal Head Start program to provide comprehensive
health, educational, nutritional, social, and other services to economically
disadvantaged children and their families, and of distributing federal Head Start
funds to those eligible agencies.
Option to purchase public health coverage
The bill requires DHS, OCI, or DHS in consultation with OCI to conduct an
analysis and actuarial study of the creation of an option to purchase coverage that
is publicly provided or administered. In its analysis, DHS or OCI must incorporate
input from a variety of interested persons or entities and an analysis of any other
health care affordability initiatives. The bill allows DHS or OCI to submit any
requests for federal approval, including Medical Assistance state plan amendments
and waiver requests, necessary to implement the public option or other health care
affordability initiative. If federal approval is not necessary or if federal approval is
granted and DHS or OCI determines that the public option or affordability initiative
is feasible, DHS or OCI shall implement the public option or other initiative before
January 1, 2025, or if the insurance market provisions of the federal Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act are not longer enforceable, by January 1, 2022,
or as soon as possible.
Electronic benefit transfer processing and funding for farmers; healthy
eating incentive pilot program
The bill allows DHS to expend general purpose revenue to provide electronic
benefit transfer processing equipment and services to farmer's markets and farmers
who sell directly to consumers. The electronic benefit transfer system is the method
used by DHS to deliver FoodShare benefits to recipients. FoodShare, also known as
the food stamp program and the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program, provides a monetary benefit to individuals who have limited financial
resources for the purpose of purchasing food products.
The bill also limits the amount of general purpose revenue DHS may expend
on the healthy eating incentive pilot program to $425,000 per fiscal year. The
purpose of the healthy eating incentive pilot program is to provide discounts on fresh
produce and other healthy foods to FoodShare recipients. The bill also eliminates the
time limit under current law for DHS to expend funds to contract with an entity to
- 88 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
administer the healthy eating incentive program. Under current law, DHS could not
expend any money for the program after December 31, 2019, except for amounts
already encumbered on or before that date.
FSET requirement
Current law requires DHS to require all able-bodied adults, with some limited
exceptions, who seek benefits from the FoodShare program to participate in the
FoodShare employment and training program, known as FSET, unless they are
already employed. The bill eliminates that requirement for able-bodied adults with
dependents while retaining the requirement for able-bodied adults without
dependents.
Eliminating FSET drug testing requirement
2015 Wisconsin Act 55 required DHS to promulgate rules to develop and
implement a drug screening, testing, and treatment policy, which DHS promulgated
as DHS 38, Wis. Adm. Code. 2017 Wisconsin Act 370 incorporated into statutes DHS
38, relating to drug screening, testing, and treatment for recipients of FSET. The bill
eliminates the requirement to implement a drug screening, testing, and treatment
policy and removes from the statutes the language incorporated by Act 370.
Eliminating FSET pay-for-performance requirement
Current law requires DHS to create and implement a payment system based
on performance for entities that perform administrative functions for FSET. DHS
is required to base the pay-for-performance system on performance outcomes
specified in current law. The bill eliminates the requirement for DHS to create a
pay-for-performance system for FSET vendors.
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
Medicaid expansion; elimination of childless adults demonstration project
BadgerCare Plus and BadgerCare Plus Core are programs under the state's
Medical Assistance program, which provides health services to individuals who have
limited financial resources. The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
allows a state to receive an enhanced federal medical assistance percentage payment
for providing benefits to certain individuals through a state's Medical Assistance
program. The bill changes the family income eligibility level to up to 133 percent of
the federal poverty line for parents and caretaker relatives under BadgerCare Plus
and for childless adults currently covered under BadgerCare Plus Core and who are
incorporated into BadgerCare Plus in the bill. The bill requires DHS to comply with
all federal requirements and to request any amendment to the state Medical
Assistance plan, waiver of Medicaid law, or other federal approval necessary to
qualify for the highest available enhanced federal medical assistance percentage for
childless adults under the BadgerCare Plus program.
Under current law, certain parents and caretaker relatives with incomes of not
more than 100 percent of the federal poverty line, before a 5 percent income disregard
is applied, are eligible for BadgerCare Plus benefits. Under current law, childless
adults who 1) are under age 65; 2) have family incomes that do not exceed 100 percent
of the federal poverty line, before a 5 percent income disregard is applied; and 3) are
not otherwise eligible for Medical Assistance, including BadgerCare Plus, are
- 89 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
eligible for benefits under BadgerCare Plus Core. The bill eliminates the childless
adults demonstration project, known as BadgerCare Plus Core, as a separate
program on July 1, 2021.
2017 Wisconsin Act 370 requires by statute that DHS implement the
BadgerCare Reform waiver as it relates to childless adults as approved by the federal
Department of Health and Human Services effective October 31, 2018. The 2015-17
and 2017-19 biennial budget acts required DHS to submit a waiver request to the
federal Department of Health and Human Services authorizing DHS to take certain
actions, including imposing premiums on, requiring a health risk assessment of, and
limiting the time of eligibility for recipients of BadgerCare Plus under the childless
adults demonstration project waiver. Act 370 required DHS to implement the
childless adults BadgerCare Reform waiver by no later than November 1, 2019. If
JCF determines that DHS has not complied with the implementation deadline, has
not made sufficient progress in implementing the BadgerCare Reform waiver, or has
not complied with other requirements relating to approved waiver implementation,
Act 370 allows JCF to reduce from moneys allocated for state operations or
administrative functions DHS's appropriation or expenditure authority, whichever
is applicable, or change the authorized level of full-time equivalent positions for
DHS related to the Medical Assistance program. The bill eliminates the statutory
implementation requirement for the BadgerCare Reform waiver, including the
deadline and penalties, eliminates the statutory requirement for DHS to seek the
waiver, and allows DHS to modify or withdraw the waiver.
Eliminating legislative review of Medicaid state plan amendments
The Medical Assistance program is the state's Medicaid program and is jointly
funded by the state and federal governments through a detailed agreement known
as the state plan. 2017 Wisconsin Act 370 requires DHS to submit to JCF under its
passive review process any proposed Medical Assistance state plan amendment and
any proposed change to a reimbursement rate for or supplemental payment to a
Medical Assistance provider that has an expected fiscal effect of $7,500,000 or more
from all revenue sources over a 12-month period. The bill eliminates this
requirement to submit for JCF review Medical Assistance state plan amendments,
changes to reimbursement rates, or supplemental payments.
Eliminating legislative oversight over federal law waivers
2017 Wisconsin Act 370 prohibits DHS from submitting a request to a federal
agency for a waiver or renewal, modification, withdrawal, suspension, or
termination of a waiver of federal law or rules or for authorization to implement a
pilot program or demonstration project unless legislation has been enacted
specifically directing the submission of the request. For any legislation that requires
submission of a request that has not yet been submitted, Act 370 requires DHS to
submit an implementation plan to JCF and submit its final proposed request to JCF
for approval. Act 370 requires DHS to take certain actions and submit monthly
progress reports to JCF once a request has been submitted to the federal agency.
When the federal agency has approved the request in whole or in part and the request
has not been fully implemented, Act 370 requires DHS to submit its final
implementation plan to JCF for approval. Act 370 allows JCF to reduce from moneys
- 90 -

SENATE BILL 111
allocated for state operations or administrative functions the agency's appropriation
or expenditure authority or change the authorized level of full-time equivalent
positions for the agency related to the program for which the request is required to
be submitted if JCF determines that the state agency has not made sufficient
progress or is not acting in accordance with the enacted legislation requiring the
submission of the request. The bill eliminates the requirement that legislation be
enacted in order for DHS to submit a request for a waiver or renewal, modification,
withdrawal, suspension, or termination of a waiver of federal law or rules or for
authorization to implement a pilot program or demonstration project. The bill also
eliminates the legislative review procedure for requests for waivers, pilot programs,
or demonstration projects required by Act 370.
Postpartum Medical Assistance coverage
The bill extends the time that women who are eligible for Medical Assistance
when pregnant continue to be eligible under Medical Assistance to the last day of the
month in which the 365th day after the last day of the pregnancy falls. Under current
law, postpartum women are eligible for Medical Assistance benefits until the last day
of the month in which the 60th day after the last day of the pregnancy falls. The bill
directs DHS to apply for any amendment to the state plan, any waiver to federal law,
or any approval of a demonstration project necessary to implement the expansion of
Medicaid coverage for pregnant women. However, the bill instructs DHS to
reimburse providers for acceptable costs to pregnant women who meet eligibility
standards regardless of whether any amendment, waiver, or demonstration project
is accepted.
Coverage of doula services under Medical Assistance
The bill requires DHS to request any necessary waiver or amendment to the
state Medical Assistance plan to allow Medical Assistance reimbursement for doula
services and, if any necessary waiver or amendment is approved, directs DHS to
reimburse certified doulas for doula services provided to Medical Assistance
recipients. Doula services consist of childbirth education and support services,
including emotional and physical support provided during pregnancy, labor, birth,
and the postpartum period.
Community health worker services
The bill requires DHS to request any necessary waiver or amendment to the
state Medical Assistance plan to allow Medical Assistance reimbursement for
community health services. Under the bill, community health services are those
services provided by a community health worker. A community health worker is one
who serves as a liaison between health and social services and the community to
facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of
service delivery, and who builds individual and community capacity by engaging in
a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling,
social support, and advocacy.
Services that contribute to determinants of health
The bill includes nonmedical services, as determined by DHS, that contribute
to the determinants of health as a benefit under the Medical Assistance program.

SENATE BILL 111
The Medical Assistance program is a joint federal and state program that provides
health services to individuals who have limited financial resources. The bill requires
DHS to seek any necessary state plan amendment or request any waiver of federal
Medicaid law to provide the services but does not require DHS to provide the services
as a Medical Assistance benefit if the federal Department of Health and Human
Services does not provide federal financial participation for the services.
Coverage of group physical therapy under Medical Assistance
The bill directs DHS to promulgate rules by July 1, 2022, to include group
physical therapy as one of the physical therapy services authorized for
reimbursement under the Medical Assistance program. The bill allows DHS to
promulgate emergency rules to authorize group physical therapy for reimbursement
under the Medical Assistance program.
Coverage of substance abuse treatment room and board under Medical
Assistance
The bill directs DHS to pay allowable charges on behalf of recipients of Medical
Assistance for room and board for residential substance use disorder treatment.
Community-based psychosocial services
Currently, community-based psychosocial services provided to Medical
Assistance recipients are reimbursed only when the federal government agrees to
provide its financial participation for the services, when the recipient's needs require
more than outpatient level services but less than provided by a community support
program, when the recipient's county has made the services available, when the
provider is certified by DHS under its rules, and when any other requirements
established by DHS by rule are met. The bill allows DHS to also provide
community-based psychosocial services to Medical Assistance recipients and
provide reimbursement for those services through providers other than those made
available by a county. Reimbursement to providers that are not county-based will
be both the federal and nonfederal share based on a fee schedule that is determined
by DHS. For a county that elects to provide the services, DHS must reimburse the
county for the federal and nonfederal amount of allowable charges under the Medical
Assistance program.
Medical Assistance program coverage of acupuncture services
The bill includes acupuncture that is provided by a certified acupuncturist as
a reimbursable benefit under the Medical Assistance program. The bill requires
DHS to submit to the federal government any request for federal approval necessary
to provide the reimbursement for an acupuncture benefit under the Medical
Assistance program.
Children's long-term support waiver program
The bill requires DHS to ensure that any eligible child who applies for the
disabled children's long-term support waiver program receives services under that
program. The disabled children's long-term support waiver program provides
services to children who have developmental, physical, or severe emotional
disabilities and who are living at home or in another community-based setting.

SENATE BILL 111
Acuity-based billing in nursing homes and community-based residential
facilities
Under current law, payment for health care provided in a nursing home or a
community-based residential facility under the Medical Assistance program is
determined by prospective payment systems updated annually by DHS. DHS is
required to implement an acuity-based payment rate system for determining
payments to nursing homes and community-based residential facilities for all
allowable, nonbillable services of a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or
nurse aide. The bill makes several changes to the acuity-based payment rate system
implemented by DHS to allow DHS to align the state's rate-setting methodology
with an updated Patient Driven Payment Model established by the federal Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Currently, DHS follows a Resource Utilization
Groupings model. Further, the bill allows DHS to use data from calendar years other
than calendar year 2020 or calendar year 2021 if DHS determines that either or both
of those years are inappropriate bases for prospective rate setting due to fluctuations
in costs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Statewide minimum rate band for home and community-based long-term
health care supports
The bill directs DHS to develop a statewide rate band that would establish
equitable and sustainable minimum rates for home and community-based
long-term care supports. Home and community-based long-term care supports are
Medical Assistance programs designed to deliver long-term care to patients in their
own home or other community-based setting, rather than a nursing home or other
institutional setting. The bill also requires DHS to include in its 2023-25 biennial
budget request a proposal to implement the statewide rate band.
Payments for direct care in nursing and intermediate care facilities
The bill requires DHS to increase Medical Assistance payments, from the
increase in reimbursement for nursing facilities, also known as nursing homes, and
intermediate care facilities for persons with an intellectual disability, by an amount
specified in the bill, including the state and federal shares, to support staff who
provide direct care to residents of those facilities.
Hospital assessment
Currently, each hospital, including each critical access hospital, must pay an
assessment for the privilege of doing business in Wisconsin. The percentage of gross
patient revenues that each hospital must pay is adjusted so that the total amount
of assessments collected for all hospitals that are not critical access hospitals totals
$414,507,300 in each state fiscal year. The same percentage of gross patient
revenues is also assessed on critical access hospitals, though the amount is collected
separately from and deposited into a separate fund from that of other hospitals.
Current law requires DHS to use a portion of this total to pay for services provided
by hospitals under the Medical Assistance program, including the federal and state
share of Medical Assistance, in a total amount that equals the amount collected from
hospitals divided by 61.68 percent. Similarly, current law requires DHS to use a
portion of the amount collected from critical access hospitals to make payments to
- 93 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
critical access hospitals for Medical Assistance services in a total amount that equals
the amount collected from critical access hospitals divided by 61.68 percent. The bill
decreases the 61.68 percent to 53.69 percent if the state adopts the Medicaid
expansion, thus increasing the amount of payments that must be made to critical
access hospitals and other hospitals under the Medical Assistance program. The
Medicaid expansion, as authorized under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, allows a state to provide benefits under the Medicaid program to individuals who
have an income up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line and who were previously
ineligible for Medicaid, and in exchange, the Affordable Care Act then provides that
the federal government pays an increased percentage of the cost of the benefits for
those newly eligible individuals.
Medical Assistance reimbursement rates for direct care in personal care
agencies
The bill requires DHS to increase the reimbursement rates paid for direct care
under the Medical Assistance program to agencies that provide personal care
services to support staff in those agencies that provide direct care. For purposes of
Medical Assistance, “personal care services” are defined as medically oriented
activities that assist recipients with activities of daily living that are necessary to
maintain the individual in his or her residence in the community, such as eating,
bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or shopping for food.
Disproportionate share hospital payments
Current law requires DHS to make payments under the Medical Assistance
program to hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low-income patients.
These hospitals are referred to as “disproportionate share hospitals,” and the
payments are known as DSH payments. DHS must pay $27,500,000 in each fiscal
year, cumulatively, as the state share of DSH payments and must also pay to the
disproportionate share hospitals the amounts contributed by the federal
government. For a hospital to receive a DSH payment under current law, the
hospital must be a Wisconsin hospital providing a wide array of services that meets
applicable requirements under federal law and for which at least 6 percent of all total
inpatient days at the hospital are Medical Assistance recipients' inpatient days.
Current law provides mechanisms for determining how DSH payments are
distributed among eligible hospitals and imposes some limits on payments,
including that no single hospital may receive more than $4,600,000 per fiscal year.
The bill increases, if the state adopts the Medicaid expansion, the state share of the
cumulative amount of DSH payments in a fiscal year to $47,500,000 and increases
the single hospital limit to $7,950,000. The Medicaid expansion, as authorized under
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, allows a state to provide benefits
under the Medicaid program to individuals who have an income up to 133 percent
of the federal poverty line and who were previously ineligible for Medicaid, and in
exchange, the Affordable Care Act then provides that the federal government pays
an increased percentage of the cost of the benefits for those newly eligible
individuals.

SENATE BILL 111
Critical access reimbursement payments to dental providers
The bill requires DHS to provide enhanced reimbursement payments under the
Medical Assistance program to dental providers who meet certain qualifications. In
order to qualify, a provider must meet quality of care standards established by DHS.
In addition, at least 50 percent of individuals served by a nonprofit or public provider
must be without dental insurance or enrolled in the Medical Assistance program for
the provider to qualify for enhanced reimbursement, and a for-profit provider must
have at least 5 percent of patients enrolled in the Medical Assistance program.
For services rendered by a qualified nonprofit or public dental provider, DHS
must increase reimbursement by 50 percent above the reimbursement rate
otherwise paid to that provider. For services provided by a qualified for-profit
provider, DHS must increase reimbursement by 30 percent above the
reimbursement rate otherwise paid to that provider. For qualified providers serving
individuals in managed care under the Medical Assistance program, DHS must
increase reimbursement to pay an additional amount on the basis of the rate that
would have been paid to the provider had the individual not been enrolled in
managed care. If a provider has more than one service location, reimbursement is
determined separately for each location. Under the bill, any providers receiving
reimbursement through the existing dental reimbursement pilot project are not
eligible for critical access reimbursement payments.
Eliminating prescription drug copayments under Medical Assistance
Under current law, states may require recipients of Medical Assistance to
contribute a share of the costs of their health care. Such a contribution is referred
to as a copayment or cost sharing. The bill eliminates all copayment requirements
for prescription drugs under the state Medical Assistance plan and specifies that the
receipt of prescription drugs is a service that is not subject to recipient cost sharing.
Payments to tribes for medical assistance administration
The bill directs DHS to make payments to eligible tribal governing bodies or
tribal health care providers for the administration and reimbursement of Medical
Assistance services. DHS must determine payment amounts on the basis of the
difference between the state share of Medical Assistance payments paid for services
rendered to tribal members for whom a care coordination agreement is in place and
the state share of Medical Assistance payments that would have been paid for those
services absent care coordination agreements. The bill specifies that care
coordination agreements must be in compliance with federal requirements.
CHILDREN
Qualified residential treatment programs
The bill allows for the certification of qualified residential treatment programs
and establishes certain procedures that apply when a child is placed in one.
The bill allows DCF to certify a residential care center for children and youth,
group home, or shelter care facility to operate a qualified residential treatment
program (QRTP) if it determines that the program meets the federal requirements
for such a program to receive Title IV-E child welfare funding and DCF's
requirements for such a program. The bill allows DCF to monitor compliance with
- 95 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
certification requirements, including by inspection authority, and to deny, suspend,
restrict, refuse to renew, or otherwise withhold a certification for failure to comply
with those requirements. Under the bill, DCF may promulgate rules for the
establishment, certification, operation, and monitoring of, and the placement of a
child in, a QRTP.
Currently, when a child or juvenile (collectively referred to as “child”) alleged
or adjudged to be in need of protection or services is removed from his or her home
in a proceeding under the Children's Code or Juvenile Justice Code, the agency
responsible for that child's removal is required to prepare a permanency plan,
designed to ensure that the child is reunified with his or her family whenever
appropriate, or that the child quickly attains a placement or home providing
long-term stability. Current law requires the juvenile court to periodically review
the plan and to periodically hold a hearing on the plan.
Under the bill, if a child is placed in a certified QRTP, the agency must assemble
a family permanency team to participate in permanency planning for the child, and
invite appropriate biological family members, relatives, like-kin, and professionals
who serve as a resource for the family to participate. The bill requires the agency to
include in the permanency plan information about the family permanency team and
its meetings and recommendations.
The bill requires that, in a review or hearing on a permanency plan for a child
who is placed in a certified QRTP, the agency that prepared the permanency plan
must present to the juvenile court certain information that the juvenile court must
consider when determining the continuing necessity for and the safety and
appropriateness of the placement, including 1) whether the placement is supported
by assessment of the child's needs, is the most effective and appropriate level of care
in the least restrictive environment, and meets the goals for the child in the
permanency plan; 2) the specific treatment or service needs that the placement will
meet and how long the child will need that treatment or service; and 3) the efforts
made by the agency to prepare the child to return home or to be placed with a relative,
guardian, or adoptive parent or in a foster home.
Under the bill, if a child is placed or proposed to be placed in a certified QRTP
in juvenile court proceedings for a temporary physical custody (TPC) hearing, a
change in placement (CIP), consent decree, or a disposition, a qualified individual
must conduct an assessment, using a tool determined by DCF, of the strengths and
needs of the child to determine the appropriateness of that placement (standardized
assessment). The bill creates a definition for “qualified individual” to match the term
used in federal law, meaning a trained professional or licensed clinician who is not
an employee of the state and who is not connected to, or affiliated with, any
placement setting in which children are placed by the state. The federal law
definition provides that a state may request a waiver from this definition, and on
December 14, 2020, Wisconsin requested such a waiver to allow state and county
child welfare staff to serve as qualified individuals.
The bill requires the qualified individual to develop a recommendation on all
of the following: 1) whether the proposed placement will provide the child with the
most effective and appropriate level of care in the least restrictive environment; 2)
- 96 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
how the placement is consistent with the short-term and long-term goals for the
child in the permanency plan; 3) the reasons why the child's needs can or cannot be
met by the child's family or in a foster home (and a shortage or lack of foster homes
is not an acceptable reason); and 4) the placement preference of the family
permanency team and, if it is not the placement recommended by the qualified
individual, why that recommended placement is not preferred. Then, depending on
the type of proceeding, the intake worker, agency primarily responsible for providing
services under a temporary custody, person or agency primarily responsible for
implementing the dispositional order, or agency appointed as the guardian of the
child must submit the standardized assessment and the qualified individual's
recommendation to the juvenile court and any person who is required to receive a
copy of the notice or request in the proceeding.
Under the bill, the standardized assessment and recommendation must be
submitted by the time of a TPC hearing, by the time the notice or request is filed in
a CIP proceeding, by the time the consent decree is entered, or by the time the
disposition report is filed. With respect to most CIP proceedings, if not available by
the time the notice or request is filed, the bill generally requires it to be submitted
within 10 days after the filing of the CIP notice, except this does not apply to a CIP
requested by someone other than the intake worker, agency, district attorney, or
corporation counsel or from in-home to out-of-home, to a consent decree, or to a
disposition. In all cases, if the required information is not available by these first
deadlines, it must be submitted no later than 30 days after the date on which the
placement is made.
The bill requires the juvenile court to make the following findings when it
issues an order placing a child in a certified QRTP: 1) whether the needs of the child
can be met through placement in a foster home; 2) whether placement of the child
in a certified QRTP provides the most effective and appropriate level of care for the
child in the least restrictive environment; 3) whether the placement is consistent
with the short-term and long-term goals for the child in the permanency plan; and
4) whether the juvenile court approves or disapproves the placement. The answers
to these questions do not affect whether the placement may be made. If the
standardized assessment and recommendation of the qualified individual are not
available at the time of this order, the bill requires the juvenile court to defer making
the findings. However, by no later than 60 days after the date on which the
placement was made the juvenile court must issue an order making those findings.
The bill requires that, for youth in out-of-home care who are parenting or
pregnant, a permanency plan must include 1) a list of the services or programs to be
provided to or on behalf of the child to ensure that the child, if pregnant, is prepared
and, if a parent, is able to be a parent; and 2) the out-of-home care prevention
strategy for any child born to the parenting or pregnant child.
Foster and kinship care rates
The bill increases the rates that are paid to a foster parent or a kinship care
relative (a relative other than a parent) who is providing care and maintenance for
a child.

SENATE BILL 111
The bill increases the monthly basic maintenance rates that are paid by the
state or a county to all foster parents for the care and maintenance of a child by 2.5
percent beginning on January 1, 2022, and increases the age-based monthly basic
maintenance rates paid to parents providing higher than level one care by an
additional 2.5 percent beginning on January 1, 2023. Beginning on January 1, 2022,
the monthly rates are $300 for a child of any age in a foster home certified to provide
level one care and, for a foster home certified to provide higher than level one care,
$431 for a child under five years of age, $472 for a child 5 to 11 years of age, $535 for
a child 12 to 14 years of age, and $559 for a child 15 years of age or over. Beginning
on January 1, 2023, the monthly rates for a foster home certified to provide higher
than level one care are increased to $442 for a child under five years of age, $484 for
a child 5 to 11 years of age, $548 for a child 12 to 14 years of age, and $573 for a child
15 years of age or over.
The bill also increases the monthly basic maintenance rates that are paid by the
state or a county to a kinship care relative (a relative other than a parent) who is
providing care and maintenance for a child. These rates are the same as for a foster
home certified to provide level one care.
Youth aids; allocations
Under current law, DCF is required to allocate to counties community youth
and family aids (youth aids) funding. Youth aids funding comes from various state
and federal moneys and is used to pay for state-provided juvenile correctional
services and local delinquency-related and juvenile justice services. The bill updates
the allocation of youth aids funding that is available to counties for the 2021-23 fiscal
biennium.
Under current law, some of the youth aids funding is allocated to reimburse
counties that are purchasing community supervision services from DOC for
juveniles, and some of the funding is allocated for alcohol and other drug abuse
treatment programs. The bill eliminates these earmarks and instead provides that
DCF may use youth aids funding to reimburse counties for the costs associated with
the care and maintenance of juveniles who are adjudged delinquent and who are
placed in certain secured juvenile facilities under the supervision of a county or the
state.
Youth aids; administration
Current law allocates some youth aids for the purchase of juvenile correctional
services, emergencies, provision of community supervision services for juveniles,
and for alcohol and other drug abuse treatment programs. Also under current law,
DCF may award funding to counties for early intervention services for first offenders
under the Community Intervention Program (CIP).
The bill replaces CIP with the Youth Justice System Improvements Program.
Under the bill, DCF may use funding for the Youth Justice System Improvements
Program to support diversion programs, to address emergencies related to youth
aids, or to fund other activities required of DCF under youth aids.
Under current law, youth aids funding is allocated to counties on a calendar
year basis. Youth aids funds that are not spent in the calendar year can be carried
forward three ways: 1) DCF may carry forward 5 percent of a county's allocation for
- 98 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
that county for use in the subsequent calendar year; 2) DCF may carry forward
$500,000 or 10 percent of its unspent youth aids funds, whichever is larger, for use
in the subsequent two calendar years; and 3) DCF may carry forward any unspent
emergency funds for use in the subsequent two calendar years.
The bill changes the way that unspent youth aids are reallocated. Under the
bill, DCF may still carry forward 5 percent of a county's allocation for that county to
use in the next calendar year. However, instead of carrying forward $500,000 or 10
percent of its unspent youth aids funds, whichever is larger, for use in the next two
calendar years, under the bill, DCF may transfer 10 percent of unspent youth aids
funds to the Youth Justice System Improvements Program.
Child abuse and neglect prevention program; home visitation
Under current law, DCF provides funding to counties, cities, private agencies,
and Indian tribes to provide home visitation program services to individuals who are
determined, through a risk assessment, to be at risk of poor birth outcomes or of
abusing or neglecting his or her child. The bill requires DCF to allocate an additional
$500,000 per year to the Nurse Family Partnership home visitation program in
Milwaukee county, beginning in fiscal year 2021-22.
Recruitment for adoptive placements
The bill requires DCF to provide $300,000 annually to the Wendy's Wonderful
Kids program at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, which provides support in
finding adoptive placements for children with special needs in foster care. The bill
specifies that the funding is to recruit adoptive placements for children in Milwaukee
County.
Grants to support foster parents and children
2017 Wisconsin Act 260 established a one-year pilot program for DCF to
distribute grants to counties, nonprofit organizations, and tribes for the purpose of
supporting foster parents and providing normalcy for children in out-of-home care.
The bill makes the grant program permanent and specifies that grants under the
program may be distributed for the purpose of sibling reconnection.
Five-county pilot program for representation of parents in CHIPS
proceedings.
Under current law, a parent is generally not entitled to representation by a
public defender in a proceeding under the Children's Code in which a child is alleged
to be in need of protection or services. However, a pilot program that began in 2018
requires the state public defender to assign counsel to any nonpetitioning parent in
these cases in the counties of Brown, Outagamie, Racine, Kenosha, and Winnebago.
This five-county pilot program is set to expire on June 30, 2021. The bill extends the
expiration date of the pilot program to June 30, 2023.
Congregate care facility staff training
The bill specifies that DCF is authorized to provide training to staff or
contractors of a congregate care facility or a child welfare agency.
Grants for youth services
The bill consolidates certain DCF youth services programs into a new youth
services grant program. Under current law, the following DCF programs provide
- 99 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
youth services: grants for services for homeless and runaway youth, treatment and
services for children who are the victims of sex trafficking, grants for children's
community programs, and the Brighter Futures Initiative. Under the bill, these
programs are consolidated into the youth services grant program, under which DCF
must distribute grants to public agencies, nonprofit corporations, and Indian tribes
to provide programs that accomplish one or more of the following purposes:
1. Increasing youth access to housing.
2. Increasing youth self-sufficiency through employment, education, and
training.
3. Increasing youth social and emotional health by promoting healthy and
stable adult connections, social engagement, and connection with necessary
services.
4. Preventing sex trafficking of children and youth.
5. Providing treatment and services for documented and suspected victims of
child and youth sex trafficking.
6. Preventing and reducing the incidence of youth violence and other
delinquent behavior.
7. Preventing and reducing the incidence of youth alcohol and other drug use
and abuse.
8. Preventing and reducing the incidence of child abuse and neglect.
9. Preventing and reducing the incidence of teen pregnancy.
Under current law, DCF must allocate in each fiscal year specific amounts of
money, including federal moneys received under the Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) block grant program, for various public assistance
programs, including $500,000 for the Brighter Futures Initiative for programs to
provide evidence-based programs and practices for substance abuse prevention to
at-risk youth and their families. Under the bill, this amount is allocated instead to
the grants for youth services.
Under current law, DHS transfers amounts to DCF for the Brighter Futures
Initiative. Under the bill, DHS transfers those amounts to DCF for the grants for
youth services. The bill maintains a requirement, currently under the Brighter
Futures Initiative, that DCF distribute $55,000 in each fiscal year to Diverse and
Resilient, Inc., to provide youth services, as part of the new youth services grant
program.
Safety promotion and placement prevention services
The bill creates new authority for DCF to provide funding for services or to
provide direct evidence-based services or support to agencies for the provision of
evidence-based services aimed at preventing the removal of children from the home
under the Children's Code and the Juvenile Justice Code.
The bill also creates a new GPR appropriation for DCF to provide services that
allow a child to remain at home in lieu of an out-of-home placement.
Children and family services
Under current law, DCF must distribute not more than $80,125,200 in fiscal
year 2019-20 and $101,145,500 in fiscal year 2020-21 to counties for children and
family services. The bill increases the maximum amount DCF must distribute to

counties for these services to $106,389,600 in fiscal year 2021-22 and $111,868,900
in fiscal year 2022-23.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion grants
The bill requires DCF to award grants to public, private, or nonprofit entities
that promote diversity and advance equity and inclusion.
HEALTH
Requiring hospitals to allow designation of a caregiver
The bill requires hospitals to provide a patient or, if applicable, a patient's legal
guardian with an opportunity to designate a caregiver who will receive, before the
patient is discharged from the hospital, instruction regarding assistance with the
patient's care after discharge.
Under the bill, a hospital must, no later than 24 hours following a patient's
admission to a hospital and before the patient is discharged or transferred, provide
at least one opportunity for a patient or, if applicable, a patient's legal guardian to
designate at least one caregiver. If a patient is unconscious or otherwise
incapacitated when admitted, the hospital shall provide an opportunity for caregiver
designation within 24 hours after the patient regains consciousness or capacity. If
a patient or legal guardian designates a caregiver, a hospital must promptly record
the name and contact information of the caregiver. If a patient or legal guardian
declines to designate a caregiver, the hospital must also promptly document that
information. Patients are not required to designate a caregiver under the bill and,
further, the designation of a caregiver does not obligate any individual to provide
aftercare for the patient. A patient may elect to change the designated caregiver at
any time, and the hospital must record the change within 24 hours.
The bill requires that if a patient designates a caregiver, the hospital must
promptly request written consent to release medical information to the patient's
caregiver. If the patient or the patient's legal guardian declines to provide consent,
the hospital is relieved of its notification and consultation obligations.
Under current law, patient medical records are kept confidential except in
certain limited circumstances, including if a patient or a person authorized by the
patient gives consent to the disclosure. Even without agreement, a health care
provider may provide to the patient's immediate family, another relative, a close
personal friend of the patient, or an individual identified by the patient, that portion
of information from the health care record directly relevant to that individual's
involvement in the patient's care. The bill adds designated caregivers to the list of
individuals permitted access to information directly relevant to that individual's
involvement in the patient's care.
Pediatric inpatient supplement
The bill establishes in statute reference to supplemental funding totaling
$2,000,000 to be distributed by DHS to certain acute care hospitals located in
Wisconsin that have a total of more than 12,000 inpatient days in the hospital's acute
care pediatric units and intensive care pediatric units, not including neonatal
intensive care units. In addition, under the bill, DHS may distribute additional
funding of $7,500,000 in each state fiscal year to hospitals that are free-standing
- 101 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

SENATE BILL 111
pediatric teaching hospitals located in Wisconsin that have a Medicaid inpatient
utilization rate greater than 45 percent if DHS has expanded eligibility for the
Medical Assistance program under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act.
Tailored caregiver assessment and referral (TCARE) pilot program
The bill requires DHS to conduct, during fiscal year 2021-22, a one-year
Tailored Caregiver Assessment and Referral pilot program as described in the
September 2020 report of the Governor's Task Force on Caregiving. Tailored
Caregiver Assessment and Referral, commonly referred to as TCARE or a family
caregiver survey, is an evidence-based care management protocol designed to
support family members who are providing care to adults of any age with chronic or
acute health conditions. TCARE includes both a pre-screening tool and a full
assessment that seeks information from the family or informal caregiver in order to
assess their health and well-being, stress levels, challenges, skills needed to perform
care, their informal support system, and strengths that enable them to provide care.
Title V and Title X family planning funding
Current law requires DHS to apply for federal Title X grant funds and to
distribute any funds received to public entities for family planning and related
preventive health services. The bill eliminates that requirement.
Under current law, DHS must allocate women's health funds, which are federal
Title V funds and women's health block grant funds, to develop and maintain an
integrated system of community health services and maximize coordination of
family planning services. Current law excludes from the definition of “family
planning” the performance, promotion, encouragement, or counseling in favor of, or
referral either directly or through an intermediary for, voluntary termination of
pregnancy but includes in the definition of “family planning” the provision of
nondirective information explaining prenatal care and delivery or infant care, foster
care, or adoption. DHS must distribute women's health funds only to public entities.
Currently, those public entities may provide some or all of the funds to other public
entities or private entities as long as the recipients of the funds do not provide
abortion services, make referrals for abortion services, or have an affiliate that
provides abortion services or makes referrals for abortion services. The bill retains
the authorization for the public entity that receives funds from DHS to provide some
or all of the funds to other public or private entities but eliminates the restriction on
which public or private entities may receive those funds. The bill also includes in the
definition of “family planning” the provision of nondirective information explaining
pregnancy termination.
Grants to free and charitable clinics
Under current law, DHS is required to award grants each fiscal year to several
classes of community health centers. A community health center is a health care
entity that provides primary health care, health education, and social services to
low-income individuals. The 2019 biennial budget act, 2019 Wisconsin Act 9,
required DHS to annually award $500,000 in grants to free and charitable clinics
from the same community health services appropriation. The bill continues the
grant for free and charitable clinics and directs DHS to annually award $2,500,000
- 102 -

SENATE BILL 111
in grants to free and charitable clinics. The bill defines “free and charitable clinics”
as health care organizations that use a volunteer and staff model to provide health
services to uninsured, underinsured, underserved, economically and socially
disadvantaged, and vulnerable populations and that meet criteria specified in the
bill.
Black women's health and infant and maternal mortality
The bill instructs DHS to annually award $1,750,000 in grants to
community-serving organizations that are led by Black women that improve Black
women's health in Dane, Milwaukee, Rock, and Kenosha Counties. Further, the bill
directs DHS to annually award $1,750,000 in grants to organizations that work to
reduce racial disparities related to infant and maternal mortality. Additionally, the
bill instructs DHS to award a grant totaling $500,000 in fiscal year 2021-22 and
another grant totaling $500,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 to an entity to coordinate
efforts between the state, public and private sector organizations, and community
organizations to support a statewide strategy to advance Black women's health.
Alzheimer's family and caregiver support
Under current law, DHS distributes funds for certain community aids,
including for the Alzheimer's family and caregiver support program. The bill
increases the community aid funding available for the Alzheimer's family and
caregiver support program from not more than $2,558,900 each fiscal year to not
more than $3,058,900 each fiscal year, and broadens financial eligibility for the
program by increasing the maximum joint income an individual and the individual's
spouse may earn per year and remain financially eligible from $48,000 to $55,000.
Health equity grants
The bill directs DHS to award grants to community organizations to implement
community health worker care models. The bill also directs DHS to award grants
to community organizations and local or tribal health departments to hire health
equity strategists and to implement health equity action plans.
Lead screening and outreach grants
Under current law, DHS must award grants related to lead poisoning and lead
exposure prevention. The bill increases the amount of money granted to fund lead
screening and outreach activities at community-based human service agencies that
provide primary health care, health education, and social services to low-income
individuals in first class cities from $125,000 each fiscal year to $175,000. Currently,
the only first class city is Milwaukee.
Wisconsin drug repository program
Under current law, DHS is required to maintain a drug repository program
under which persons may donate certain drugs or supplies that may be used by other
individuals identified by the department by rule. The bill allows DHS to partner
with out-of-state drug repository programs. The bill also allows out-of-state
persons to donate to the drug repository program in Wisconsin, and persons in
Wisconsin to donate to participating drug repository programs in other states.
Further, the bill directs DHS to study and implement a centralized physical drug
repository program.

Surgical quality improvement grant
The bill allows, but does not require, DHS to award a onetime grant up to a total
amount of $335,000 in fiscal year 2021-22 to support surgical quality improvement
activities. The bill allows DHS to transfer moneys appropriated for this grant from
fiscal year 2021-22 to fiscal year 2022-23.
Spinal cord injury research grants and symposia
The bill requires DHS to establish a program to award grants to persons in this
state for research into spinal cord injuries. The grants must support research into
new and innovative treatments and rehabilitative efforts for the functional
improvement of people with spinal cord injuries. Research topics may include
pharmaceutical, medical device, brain stimulus, and rehabilitative approaches and
techniques. DHS must make annual reports to the legislature about the grants. The
bill also allows DHS to hold symposia every two years for grant recipients to present
their research findings. The bill biennially appropriates general purpose revenues
not exceeding $3,000,000 for the grants and symposia.
The bill also requires DHS to appoint a Spinal Cord Injury Council with one
member representing the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public
Health, one member representing the Medical College of Wisconsin, and the
following members: 1) a person with a spinal cord injury; 2) a family member of a
person with a spinal cord injury; 3) a veteran with a spinal cord injury; 4) a physician
specializing in the treatment of spinal cord injuries; 5) a neurosurgery researcher;
and 6) a researcher employed by the Veterans Health Administration of the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs. If DHS is unable to appoint any of the foregoing
members, the bill allows DHS to appoint, in lieu of that member, a member
representing the general public. Members of the council have two-year terms. The
bill requires the council to develop criteria for DHS to evaluate and award grants,
review and make recommendations on grant applications, and perform other duties
specified by DHS. Council members must make written disclosures of financial
interests in organizations that the council recommends for grants.
Public health campaign to prevent tobacco and vapor product use
The bill allows DHS to develop and carry out a public health campaign aimed
at the prevention of initiation of tobacco and vapor product use. The bill also allows
DHS to distribute grants to local and regional organizations working on youth
vaping and providing cessation services.
Direct support professional training pilot program
The bill directs DHS to develop and implement a pilot program in the 2021-23
biennium to provide person-centered direct support professional training to achieve
consistent standards of health care practice. The bill instructs DHS to collaborate

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
Guardianship training requirements
The bill establishes mandatory initial training requirements for certain
guardians. Under current law, a guardian of the person is a person appointed by a
court to act to secure any necessary care or services for the ward that are in the ward's
best interests, and a guardian of the estate is a person appointed by a court to provide
a ward with the greatest amount of independence and self-determination with
respect to property management. Currently, there are no training requirements for
guardians of the person or guardians of the estate.
Under the bill, guardians of the person must complete training on all of the
following topics: 1) the duties and responsibilities of a guardian of the person under
the law and limits of the guardian of the person's decision-making authority; 2)
alternatives to guardianship, included supported decision-making and powers of
attorney; 3) rights retained by the ward; 4) best practices for a guardian to solicit and
understand the wishes and preferences of a ward, to involve a ward in
decision-making, and to take a ward's wishes and preferences into account in
decisions made by the guardian; 5) restoration of a ward's rights and the process for
removal of guardianship; 6) future planning and identification of a potential standby
or successor guardian; and 7) resources and technical support for guardians. The bill
also requires that guardians of the estate complete training on the duties and
responsibilities of a guardian of the estate under the law, limits of a guardian of the
estate's decision-making authority, and inventory and accounting requirements.
The bill provides limited exemptions for guardians of minors and children and
certain corporate and volunteer guardians.
Under the bill, a proposed guardian of the person or a proposed guardian of the
estate must submit, as part of the guardianship case, a sworn and notarized
statement to the court that the proposed guardian has completed the training
requirements.
The bill requires DHS to award a grant to administer and conduct the required
guardian training. DHS must require, in the request for proposal, that the grantee
have expertise in state guardianship law, experience with technical assistance and
support to guardians and wards, and knowledge of common challenges and questions
encountered by guardians and wards. In addition, the grantee selected to develop
training shall develop plain-language, web-based training modules using
adult-learning design principles that can be accessed for free by training topic and
in formats that maximize accessibility, with printed versions available for free upon
request.
Early intervention services for children with lead in their blood
Under current law, DHS implements a statewide program, referred to as the
Birth to 3 program, that provides early intervention services for children aged three
and under who are developmentally delayed or are diagnosed as having a condition
that is likely to result in significantly delayed development. The bill ensures that
children with a concentration of lead in their blood of at least 5 micrograms per 100
milliliters of blood are eligible for services under the Birth to 3 program.

Crisis response system
The bill requires DHS to award grants to entities to provide a continuum of
mental health crisis services, including crisis urgent care and observation centers,
crisis stabilization and inpatient psychiatric beds, and crisis stabilization facilities.
DHS must also award up to five grants for services at facilities providing crisis
stabilization services. The bill also allows DHS to create a certification for crisis
urgent care and observation centers and establish criteria for that certification by
rule. If DHS creates the certification, then no one may operate a crisis urgent care
and observation center without a certification.
Bed tracking system
Currently, DHS is required to award a grant to the entity that collects data on
hospitals for the purpose of developing and operating a system to show the
availability of inpatient psychiatric beds. To receive the grant, the entity must use
a secure website to allow reporting of and access to information on the availability
and location of psychiatric beds by hospitals and inpatient units. The bill expands
the system to include reporting of availability of peer run respite and crisis
stabilization beds by facilities, centers, and programs and expands access to the
system to county departments and any other entity that is involved in identifying
placement options. The bill also increases the amount of the grant awarded in each
fiscal year.
Crisis program enhancement grants
The bill expands the crisis program enhancement grant program to include
grants to establish and enhance law enforcement and behavioral health emergency
response collaboration services and grants to Milwaukee County to enhance mobile
crisis teams. Under current law, the program requires DHS to award grants to
counties or regions of counties to establish or enhance crisis programs to serve
individuals having crises in rural areas. The bill instructs DHS to annually award
at least $1,250,000 to establish and enhance law enforcement and behavioral health
services emergency response collaboration programs, and at least $850,000 to
Milwaukee County to enhance mobile crisis teams.
The bill requires any entity, including a county or region, that receives a grant
to establish and enhance law enforcement and behavioral health services emergency
response collaboration programs to contribute at least 25 percent of the grant
amount awarded for the purpose that the grant money is received.
County crisis call center support
Under current law, DHS awards several grants during each fiscal biennium to
certain entities for various programs involving mental health and crisis
intervention. The bill directs DHS to annually award grants to support mental
health professionals to provide supervision and consultation to individuals who
support crisis call center services. The bill specifies that each county or multicounty
program that receives supervision and consultation services from a mental health
professional awarded a grant under this program shall contribute at least 10 percent
of the costs of the services that the mental health professional incurs for the purpose
that the grant is received.

community programs, to distribute up to $1,936,000 in each fiscal year starting with
fiscal year 2022-23 to a statewide provider of behavioral health treatment services
for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind.
Opioid and methamphetamine data system
The bill requires DOA to issue a request for proposals to establish and maintain
an opioid and methamphetamine data system to collect, format, analyze, and
disseminate information on opioid and methamphetamine use as specified in the bill.
DOA must collaborate with and collect data from DHS, DOC, DOJ, DSPS, and DCF
and any other applicable agencies for the opioid and methamphetamine data system.
Under the bill, DOA administers the contract with a vendor to operate the opioid and
methamphetamine data system, has access to the data contained in the opioid and
methamphetamine data system, and works with the vendor to disseminate
information and advanced analytics from the opioid and methamphetamine data
system in as close to real time as possible. The opioid and methamphetamine data
system must allow the state agencies that submit data to the opioid and
methamphetamine data system access to the data in the opioid and
methamphetamine data system as appropriate for the agency to fulfill its functions
and as allowed by state and federal confidentiality laws. The bill requires DOA to
submit a report to the governor and appropriate standing committees of the
legislature summarizing the information from the opioid and methamphetamine
data system and analyzing trends in that information across years of data collection.
Behavioral health technology grants
The bill appropriates general purpose revenue to DHS to provide grants to
behavioral health providers to implement electronic health records systems and
connect to health information exchanges.
Medication-assisted treatment grants
The bill directs DHS, as part of the grants DHS is required to award for
community programs, to award up to $500,000 in grants in fiscal year 2021-22 and
then up to $1,000,000 annually thereafter to develop or support entities that offer
medication-assisted treatment. Medication-assisted treatment addresses opioid
use disorder and opioid dependence.

substance use disorder treatment programs in the state. Substance use disorder
treatment programs treat individuals for substance use disorder by offering services
including counseling, medication management, and recovery coaching. The bill
requires that DHS may spend no more than $300,000 on the contract.
Training for methamphetamine addiction treatment
The bill appropriates general purpose revenue to DHS to provide grants to
provide trainings to substance use disorder treatment providers on treatment
models for methamphetamine addiction.
GENERAL HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Making references in the statutes gender neutral
The bill recognizes same-sex marriage by making references in the statutes to
spouses gender neutral, with the intent of harmonizing the Wisconsin Statutes with
the holding of the U.S. Supreme Court in Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584, 192
L. Ed. 2d 609 (2015), which recognizes that same-sex couples have a fundamental
constitutional right to marriage. The bill also recognizes legal parentage for
same-sex couples under certain circumstances and adopts gender neutral parentage
terminology.
The bill provides that marriage may be contracted between persons of the same
sex and confers the same rights and responsibilities on married persons of the same
sex that married persons of different sexes have under current law. The bill defines
“spouse" as a person who is legally married to another person of the same sex or a
different sex and replaces every reference to “husband" or “wife" in current law with
“spouse." The bill makes applicable to married persons of the same sex all provisions
under current law that apply to married persons of different sexes. These provisions
relate to such diverse areas of the law as income tax, marital property, inheritance
rights, divorce, child and spousal support, insurance coverage, family and spousal
recreational licenses, consent to conduct an autopsy, domestic abuse, and eligibility
for various types of benefits, such as retirement or death benefits and medical
assistance.
In addition to making statutory references to spouses gender neutral, the bill
specifies ways in which married couples of the same sex may be the legal parents of
a child and, with some exceptions, makes current references in the statutes to
“mother" and “father," and related terms, gender neutral.
Under current law, all of the following may adopt a child: a husband and wife
jointly, a husband or wife whose spouse is the parent of the child, and an unmarried
adult. Because the bill makes references in the statutes to spouses gender neutral,
same-sex spouses jointly may adopt a child and become the legal parents of the child,
and a same-sex spouse of a person who is the parent of a minor child may adopt the
child and become the legal parent of his or her spouse's child.

SENATE BILL 111
Under current law, if a woman is artificially inseminated under the supervision
of a physician with semen donated by a man who is not her husband and the husband
consents in writing to the artificial insemination of his wife, the husband is the
natural father of any child conceived. Under the bill, one spouse may also consent
to the artificial insemination of his or her spouse and is the natural parent of the child
conceived. The artificial insemination is not required to take place under the
supervision of a physician, but, if it does not, the semen used for the insemination
must have been obtained from a sperm bank.
Under current law, a man is presumed to be the father of a child if he and the
child's natural mother 1) were married to each other when the child was conceived
or born or 2) married each other after the child was born but had a relationship with
each other when the child was conceived and no other man has been adjudicated to
be the father or is presumed to be the father because the man was married to the
mother when the child was conceived or born. The paternity presumption may be
rebutted in a legal action or proceeding by the results of a genetic test showing that
the statistical probability of another man's parentage is 99.0 percent or higher. The
bill expands this presumption into a parentage presumption, so that a person is
presumed to be the natural parent of a child if he or she 1) was married to the child's
established natural parent when the child was conceived or born or 2) married the
child's established natural parent after the child was born but had a relationship
with the established natural parent when the child was conceived and no person has
been adjudicated to be the father and no other person is presumed to be the child's
parent because he or she was married to the mother when the child was conceived
or born. The parentage presumption may still be rebutted by the results of a genetic
test showing that the statistical probability of another person's parentage is 99.0
percent or higher. Expanding on current law, the bill allows for a paternity action
to be brought for the purpose of rebutting the parentage presumption, regardless of
whether that presumption applies to a male or female spouse.
Current law provides that a mother and a man may sign a statement
acknowledging paternity and file it with the state registrar. If the state registrar has
received such a statement, the man is presumed to be the father of the child. Under
current law, either person who has signed a statement acknowledging paternity may
rescind the statement before an order is filed in an action affecting the family
concerning the child or within 60 days after the statement is filed, whichever occurs
first. Under current law, a man who has filed a statement acknowledging paternity
that is not rescinded within the time period is conclusively determined to be the
father of the child. The bill provides that two people may sign a statement
acknowledging parentage and file it with the state registrar. If the state registrar
has received such a statement, the people who have signed the statement are
presumed to be the parents of the child. Under the bill, a statement acknowledging
parentage that is not rescinded conclusively establishes parentage with regard to the
person who did not give birth to the child and who signed the statement.
The bill defines “natural parent" as a parent of a child who is not an adoptive
parent, whether the parent is biologically related to the child or not. Thus, a person
who is a biological parent, a parent by consenting to the artificial insemination of his
- 109 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
or her spouse, or a parent under the parentage presumption is a natural parent of
a child. The definition applies throughout the statutes wherever the term “natural
parent" is used. In addition, the bill expands some references in the statutes to
“biological parent" by changing the reference to “natural parent."
Gender neutral references on birth certificates
Generally, the bill substitutes the term “spouse" for “husband" in the birth
certificate statutes and enters the spouse, instead of the husband, of the person who
has given birth on the birth certificate at times when a husband would currently be
entered on a birth certificate. The name of the person who has given birth is entered
on a birth certificate when the person gives birth to a child, and current law specifies
when another name should be entered on the birth certificate. Current law requires
that if a birth mother is married at any time from the conception to the birth of a
child, then her husband's name is entered on the birth certificate as the legal father
of the child. Under the bill, if a person who gives birth is married at any time from
the conception to the birth of the child, then that person's spouse's name is entered
as a legal parent of the child. The bill also specifies that, in the instance that a second
parent's name is initially omitted from the birth certificate, if the state registrar
receives a signed acknowledgement of parentage by people presumed to be parents
because the two people married after the birth of the child, the two people had a
relationship during the time the child was conceived, no person is adjudicated to be
the father, and no other person is presumed to be the parent, then the state registrar
must enter the name of the spouse of the person who gave birth as a parent on the
birth certificate.
Health information exchange grants
The bill requires DHS to provide a grant of $655,000 in each of fiscal years
2021-22 and 2022-23 to support health information exchange activities. Health
information exchange, generally, is the sharing of patient information between
health care providers or health care systems. The bill allows DHS to transfer moneys
appropriated for these grants between fiscal years.
Home care provider registry
The bill requires DHS to conduct a one-year pilot program to create a home care
provider registry to support home and community-based long-term care support
programs and clients and vendors of care services. DHS is required to use its
competitive request-for-proposals procedures to select a vendor of the software
platform for the registry.

The bill creates a two-year pilot program that gives priority to homeless
children and their families, as defined under federal law, on the waiting list that
WHEDA, or a public housing agency or other entity that contracts with WHEDA,

providing homeless assistance.
Rental assistance grants for homeless veterans
The bill requires DOA to award grants to each continuum of care organization
in Wisconsin for the purpose of providing tenant-based rental assistance to homeless
veterans. A continuum of care organization is an organization designated by the
federal Department of Housing and Urban Development that provides funding and
services to alleviate homelessness.
Eliminating employment grants program
Under current law, DOA may award grants of up to $75,000 to counties, cities,
villages, or towns to be used to connect homeless individuals with permanent
employment. The bill eliminates that grant program.
LANDLORD-TENANT
Notification of building code violations
Under current law, before entering into a lease with or accepting any earnest
money or a security deposit from a prospective tenant, a landlord must disclose to the
prospective tenant any building code or housing code violations of which the landlord
has actual knowledge if the violation presents a significant threat to the prospective
tenant's health or safety. The bill eliminates the condition that the landlord have
actual knowledge of such a violation and that the threat to the prospective tenant's
health or safety be “significant”; under the bill, the landlord must disclose to a
prospective tenant a building code or housing code violation, regardless of whether
the landlord has actual knowledge of the violation, if the violation presents a threat
to the prospective tenant's health or safety.
Terminating a tenancy on the basis of criminal activity
Current law allows a landlord, upon providing notice to a tenant, to terminate
the tenant's tenancy, without an opportunity to cure the tenant's default, if the
tenant, a member of the tenant's household, or a guest of the tenant 1) engages in any
criminal activity that threatens the health or safety of other tenants, persons
residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises, or the landlord; 2) engages in any
criminal activity that threatens the right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by
other tenants or persons residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises; or 3)
engages in any drug-related criminal activity on or near the premises. The bill
eliminates these provisions.
GENERAL HOUSING
Low income housing tax credit
Under current law, WHEDA may certify a person to claim, for a period of up to
six years, a state tax credit if the person has an ownership interest in a low-income
housing project in Wisconsin and qualifies for the federal low-income housing tax
credit program. Current law limits the amount of credits WHEDA may annually

authorize to $42,000,000. The bill increases the period for which the credit may be
claimed to 10 years and increases the amount of credits that WHEDA may annually
authorize to $100,000,000. The bill also requires that the project be allocated the
federal credit and be financed with tax-exempt bonds that are not subject to the
federal credit's volume cap, as opposed to any tax-exempt bonds as required under
current law, and allows WHEDA to waive these requirements to the extent that
WHEDA anticipates that sufficient tax-exempt private activity bond volume cap
under federal law will not be available to finance low-income housing projects in any
year.
Housing quality standards grants
The bill requires DOA to award grants to owners of rental housing units in
Wisconsin for purposes of satisfying applicable housing quality standards.
Affordable housing grants
The bill requires DOA to award grants to municipalities for the purpose of
increasing the availability of affordable workforce housing within the
municipalities.
Water utility assistance program for low-income households
The bill creates a water utility assistance program for low-income households
that is administered by DOA. Under the program, low-income households may
apply for assistance from the state to help pay the cost of their water utility bills.
Although the program is administered by DOA, DOA may contract with a county
department, another local governmental agency, or a private nonprofit organization
for processing applications and making assistance payments. DOA must establish
a payments schedule for the program. If the number of household applicants exceeds
the number anticipated to apply, payments to households may be reduced and DOA
may suspend additional applications for assistance. Under the bill, a household
eligible for water utility assistance may also be eligible for a crisis assistance
payment if the household is experiencing or at risk of experiencing a water
utility–related emergency, as defined by DOA.
INSURANCE
Pharmacy benefit manager and prescription drug benefit regulation
The bill generally requires pharmacy benefit managers to be licensed with the
commissioner of insurance or to have an employee benefit plan administrator license
under current law. The bill also establishes certain requirements on pharmacy
benefit managers and certain health plans regarding their interactions with
pharmacies and pharmacists. Under the bill, a pharmacy benefit manager is an
entity that contracts to administer or manage prescription drug benefits on behalf
of an insurer, a cooperative, or another entity that provides prescription drug
benefits to Wisconsin residents.
The bill requires a pharmacy benefit manager to be licensed either as a
pharmacy benefit manager or as an employee benefit plan administrator, which is
an existing license under current law, in order to perform the activities of a pharmacy
benefit manager. The bill specifies that an entity that is both an employee benefit
plan administrator and a pharmacy benefit manager need only have a single license
- 112 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
as an administrator. To obtain a license, the pharmacy benefit manager must pay
the applicable fee; supply a bond; provide its federal employer identification number;
and show to the commissioner that the pharmacy benefit manager intends to act in
good faith in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and commissioner's orders
through certain competent and trustworthy individuals, to designate an individual
to directly administer the prescription drug benefits, and, if not organized in
Wisconsin, to agree to be subject to the jurisdiction of the commissioner and
Wisconsin courts. Under the bill, pharmacy benefit manager licenses may be
limited, suspended, or revoked for the same reasons as for employee benefit plan
administrator licenses, which include that the pharmacy benefit manager is
unqualified; repeatedly or knowingly violates laws, rules, or commissioner's orders;
endangers enrollees or the public; or has inadequate financial resources. After a
pharmacy benefit manager's license is ordered suspended or revoked, the
commissioner may allow the pharmacy benefit manager to continue to provide
services for the purpose of providing continuity of care to existing enrollees. In
addition to powers the commissioner has, generally, to implement and enforce
insurance-related laws, the bill allows the commissioner to examine, audit, or accept
an audit of a pharmacy benefit manager in the same manner as employee benefit
plan administrators and insurers and to promulgate any rules to implement
licensure of pharmacy benefit managers.
Unless federal law requires otherwise, a pharmacy benefit manager is
prohibited in the bill from retroactively denying a pharmacist's or pharmacy's claim
unless the original claim was fraudulent, the payment of the original claim was
incorrect, the pharmacy services were not rendered by the pharmacist or pharmacy,
the pharmacist or pharmacy violated state or federal law, or the reduction is
permitted by contract and is related to a quality program. The bill limits recovery
for an incorrect payment to the amount that exceeds the allowable claim. The bill
requires every pharmacy benefit manager to submit annual transparency reports
containing information specified in the bill to the commissioner. The bill sets
requirements on a pharmacy benefit manager; insurer; defined network plan, such
as a health maintenance organization; or a self-insured governmental health plan
that is conducting an audit of a pharmacist or pharmacy.
Certain health plans, or pharmacy benefit managers on behalf of health plans,
may require a pharmacy to fulfill certification or accreditation requirements in order
to participate in the plan's network of providers. The bill requires a pharmacy benefit
manager or a representative of a pharmacy benefit manager to provide to a
pharmacy, within 30 days of receipt of a written request from the pharmacy, written
notice of the certification or accreditation requirements as a determinant of network
participation. The bill prohibits a pharmacy benefit manager or representative from
changing its accreditation requirements more frequently than once every 12 months.
Current law requires pharmacy benefit managers to agree in their contracts to
make certain disclosures regarding prescription drug reimbursement, including
updating maximum allowable cost pricing information for prescribed drugs or
devices at least every seven business days, reimbursing pharmacies or pharmacists
subject to the updated maximum allowable cost pricing, and modifying information
- 113 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
in the maximum allowable cost information in a timely fashion. Pharmacy benefit
managers currently must also include in each contract with a pharmacy a process
to appeal, investigate, and resolve pricing disputes in accordance with the specifics
in current law. These current law requirements are unchanged by the bill.
Under the bill, a health insurance policy or a governmental self-insured health
plan may not, and a policy or plan must ensure that a pharmacy benefit manager
does not, restrict a pharmacy from or penalize a pharmacy for informing an enrollee
under the policy or plan of any differential between the out-of-pocket cost of a drug
to the enrollee under the policy or plan and the cost an individual would pay for the
drug without using insurance. Health insurance policies are referred to in the bill
as disability insurance policies. The bill prohibits a policy, plan, or pharmacy benefit
manager from requiring an enrollee under the policy or plan to pay more for a covered
drug than either the cost-sharing amount for the prescription drug under the policy
or plan or the amount the enrollee would pay for the drug without using insurance,
whichever amount is lower.
The bill requires pharmacies to post a sign describing the pharmacist's ability
to substitute a less expensive drug product equivalent or interchangeable biological
product for the prescribed drug or biological product unless the consumer or the
prescribing practitioner indicates otherwise. Under current law, a pharmacist is
required to dispense either the prescribed drug or biological product or, if lower in
price, a drug product equivalent or interchangeable biological product. The
pharmacist is currently required to inform the consumer of the options available in
dispensing the prescription. The bill requires each pharmacy to have available for
the public a listing of the retail price, updated monthly or more often, of the 100 most
commonly prescribed prescription drugs available for purchase at the pharmacy.
The bill also requires pharmacies to make available for the public information on
how to access a list, created by the Pharmacy Examining Board, of the 100 most
commonly prescribed generic drugs with the corresponding brand name, and the
federal Food and Drug Administration's list of currently approved interchangeable
biological products, to which the Pharmacy Examining Board currently has to
provide a link on its website.
The bill requires a health insurance policy, governmental self-insured health
plan, or pharmacy benefit manager to provide advanced written notice to an enrollee
of a formulary change that either removes a prescription drug from the formulary or
reassigns a prescription drug to a higher benefit tier. A higher benefit tier is a tier
with a higher deductible, copayment, or coinsurance than the tier the prescription
drug had been assigned. The advanced notice required by the bill must be provided
no fewer than 30 days before the expected formulary change, must include
information on the procedure for the enrollee to request an exception to the
formulary change, and need only be provided to those enrollees who are using the
drug at the time the notification must be sent. A policy, plan, or pharmacy benefit
manager is not required to provide advanced written notice if the prescription drug
is no longer approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration; is the subject
of a notice, guidance, warning, announcement, or other statement from the FDA
relating to concerns about the safety of the drug; or is approved by the FDA for use
- 114 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
without a prescription. A policy, plan, or pharmacy benefit manager is also not
required to provide advanced written notice for the removal or reassignment of a
prescription drug if the policy, plan, or pharmacy benefit manager adds to the
formulary at the same or a lower benefit tier a generic prescription drug that is
approved by the FDA for use as an alternative to the prescription drug or a
prescription drug in the same pharmacologic class or with the same mechanism of
action. A lower benefit tier has a lower deductible, copayment, or coinsurance than
the prescription drug's current benefit tier.
The bill requires a pharmacist or pharmacy to notify an enrollee in a policy or
plan if a prescription drug for which an enrollee is filling or refilling a prescription
is removed from the formulary and the policy or plan or a pharmacy benefit manager
acting on behalf of a policy or plan adds to the formulary at the same or a lower
cost-sharing tier a generic prescription drug or a prescription drug in the same
pharmacologic class or with the same mechanism of action. If an enrollee has had
an adverse reaction to the prescription drug that is being substituted for an
originally prescribed drug, the bill allows the pharmacist or pharmacy to extend the
prescription order for the originally prescribed drug to fill one 30-day supply of the
originally prescribed drug for the cost-sharing amount that applies to the
prescription drug at the time of the substitution.
Fiduciary duty of pharmacy benefit managers
The bill imposes fiduciary and disclosure requirements on pharmacy benefit
managers. Specifically, the bill provides that a pharmacy benefit manager owes a
fiduciary duty to a plan sponsor and requires that a pharmacy benefit manager
annually disclose all of the following information to the plan sponsor:
1. The indirect profit received by the pharmacy benefit manager from owning
a pharmacy or service provider.
2. Any payments made to a consultant or broker who works on behalf of the plan
sponsor.
3. From the amounts received from drug manufacturers, the amounts retained
by the pharmacy benefit manager that are related to the plan sponsor's claims or
bona fide service fees.
4. The amounts received from network pharmacies and the amount retained
by the pharmacy benefit manager.
Application of manufacturer discounts
Health insurance policies and plans often apply deductibles and out-of-pocket
maximum amounts to the benefits covered by the policy. A deductible is an amount
that enrollees in the policy must pay out of pocket before attaining the full benefits
of the plan. An out-of-pocket maximum amount is a limit specified by the policy or
plan on the amount that enrollees have paid themselves, and once this limit is
reached, the policy or plan covers the benefit entirely. The bill requires health
insurance policies that offer prescription drug benefits and self-insured health plans
to apply the amount of discounts that a manufacturer of a brand name drug provides
to reduce the amount of cost-sharing that is charged to any enrollee for those brand
name drugs to this out-of-pocket maximum amount and deductible for the enrollee.
This requirement applies for brand name drugs that have no generic equivalent and
- 115 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
for brand name drugs that have a generic equivalent but that the enrollee has prior
authorization or physician approval to obtain. Health insurance policies are referred
to in the bill as disability insurance policies.
Reimbursement to federal drug pricing program participants
The bill prohibits any person from reimbursing certain entities that participate
in the federal drug pricing program, known as the 340B program, for a drug subject
to an agreement under the program at a rate lower than that paid for the same drug
to pharmacies that are similar in prescription volume. The bill also prohibits a
person from imposing any fee, charge back, or other adjustment on the basis of the
entity's participation in the 340B program. The entities covered by the prohibitions
under the bill are federally qualified health centers, critical access hospitals, and
grantees under the federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS program, as well as these entities'
pharmacies and any pharmacy with which any of the entities have contracted to
dispense drugs through the 340B program.
Drug margin data reporting by hospitals in the 340B program
The bill requires each hospital participating in the 340B program to report to
OCI the per unit margin for each drug covered under the 340B program dispensed
in the previous year, the total margin, and how the margin revenue was used. OCI
is required under the bill to publicly post the information submitted and publish a
report analyzing the data. The 340B program limits the pricing of prescription drugs
paid by entities that are covered by the program due to agreements between
prescription drug manufacturers and the federal government.
Prescription drug affordability review board
The bill creates a prescription drug affordability review board, whose purpose
is to protect Wisconsin residents and other stakeholders from the high costs of
prescription drugs. The board consists of the commissioner of insurance and the
following members, all of whom are appointed by the governor for four-year terms:
1. Two members who represent the pharmaceutical drug industry, at least one
of whom is a licensed pharmacist.
2. Two members who represent the health insurance industry.
3. Two members who represent the health care industry, at least one of whom
is a licensed practitioner.
4. Two members who represent the interests of the public.
The bill requires the board to meet in open session at least four times per year
to review prescription drug pricing information. The board must provide at least two
weeks' public notice of its meetings, make the meeting's materials publicly available
at least one week prior to meeting, and provide the opportunity for public comment.
The bill imposes conflict of interest requirements for the board relating to recusal
and public disclosure of certain conflicts. The bill directs the board to access and
assess drug pricing information, to the extent practicable, by accessing and assessing
information from other states, by assessing spending for the drug in Wisconsin, and
by accessing other available pricing information.
Under the bill, the board must conduct drug cost affordability reviews. The first
step in such reviews is for the board to identify prescription drugs whose increase in
wholesale acquisition cost exceeds specified thresholds and other prescription drugs
- 116 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
that may create affordability challenges for the health care system in Wisconsin. For
each identified prescription drug, the board must determine whether to conduct an
affordability review by seeking stakeholder input and considering the average
patient cost share for the drug. During an affordability review, the board must
determine whether use of the prescription drug that is fully consistent with the
labeling approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration or standard medical
practice has led or will lead to an affordability challenge for the health care system
in Wisconsin. In making this determination, the bill requires the board to consider
a variety of factors, which include the following:
1. The drug's wholesale acquisition cost.
2. The average monetary price concession, discount, or rebate the
manufacturer provides, or is expected to provide, for the drug to health plans.
3. The total amount of price concessions, discounts, and rebates the
manufacturer provides to each pharmacy benefit manager for the drug.
4. The price at which therapeutic alternatives have been sold and the average
monetary concession, discount, or rebate the manufacturer provides, or is expected
to provide, to health plan payors and pharmacy benefit managers for therapeutic
alternatives.
5. The costs to health plans based on patient access consistent with federal
labeled indications and recognized standard medical practice.
6. The impact on patient access resulting from the drug's cost relative to
insurance benefit design.
7. The current or expected dollar value of drug–specific patient access
programs that are supported by the manufacturer.
8. The relative financial impacts to health, medical, or social services costs that
can be quantified and compared to baseline effects of existing therapeutic
alternatives.
9. The average patient copay or other cost-sharing for the drug.
If the board determines that a prescription drug will lead to an affordability
challenge, the bill directs the board to establish an upper payment limit for that drug
that applies to all purchases and payor reimbursements of the drug dispensed or
administered to individuals in Wisconsin. In establishing the upper payment limit,
the board must consider the cost of administering the drug, the cost of delivering it
to consumers, and other relevant administrative costs. For certain drugs, the board
must solicit information from the manufacturer regarding the price increase and, if
the board determines that the price increase is not a result of the need for increased
manufacturing capacity or other effort to improve patient access during a public
health emergency, the board must establish an upper payment limit equal to the
drug's cost prior to the price increase.

Drug cost reporting
The bill generally requires certain prescription drug cost reporting by drug
manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers, insurers, and pharmacy services
administrative organizations.
Under the bill, each insurer that offers a health insurance policy that covers
prescription drugs must submit to OCI an annual report that identifies the 25
prescription drugs that are the highest cost to the insurer and the 25 prescription
drugs that have the highest cost increases over the 12 months before the submission
of the report. Health insurance policies are referred to in the bill as disability
insurance policies.
The bill requires a drug manufacturer to notify OCI if it increases the wholesale
acquisition cost of a brand-name or generic drug on the market in Wisconsin by more
than an amount specified in the bill, or if it intends to introduce to market a
brand-name or generic drug that has an annual wholesale acquisition cost of more
than a specified amount. The manufacturer must include with the notice
justification for and documentation regarding the price increase. The bill requires
each
manufacturer
to
provide
OCI
an
annual
description
of
each
manufacturer-sponsored patient assistance program in effect during the previous
year. Each manufacturer must also report to OCI the value of price concessions
provided to each pharmacy benefit manager for each drug sold.
The bill requires pharmacy benefit managers to report to OCI the amount
received from manufacturers as drug rebates and the value of price concessions
provided by manufacturers for each drug. OCI is required under the bill to publicly
post information submitted, analyze data collected, publish a report on emerging
trends in prescription prices and price increases, and annually conduct a public
hearing based on that analysis. OCI must also conduct a statistically valid survey
of pharmacies regarding whether the pharmacy agreed to not disclose that customer
drug benefit cost-sharing exceeds the cost of the dispensed drug.
The bill requires pharmacy services administrative organizations to annually
report to OCI the negotiated reimbursement rates of the 25 prescription drugs with
the highest reimbursement rates, the 25 prescription drugs with the largest
year-to-year change in reimbursement rate, and the schedule of fees charged to
pharmacies.
Licensure of pharmaceutical representatives
The bill requires a pharmaceutical representative to be licensed by OCI and to
display his or her license during each visit with a health care professional. The bill
defines “pharmaceutical representative” to mean an individual who markets or
promotes pharmaceuticals to health care professionals on behalf of a pharmaceutical
manufacturer for compensation.
Under the bill, the license must be annually renewed. The application to obtain
or renew a license must include the applicant's contact information, a description of
the type of work in which he or she will engage, an attestation that the professional
education requirements are met, the license fee, proof that any penalties and other
- 118 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
fees are paid, and any other information required by OCI. Under the bill, the license
fee is set by the commissioner. The bill requires the pharmaceutical representative
to report, within four business days, any change to the information provided on the
application or any material change to his or her business operations or other
information required to be reported under the bill.
The bill requires that a pharmaceutical representative complete a professional
education course prior to becoming licensed and to annually complete at least five
hours of continuing professional education. The coursework must include, at a
minimum, training in ethical standards, whistleblower protections, and the laws
and rules applicable to pharmaceutical marketing. The bill directs the commissioner
to regularly publish a list of courses that fulfill the education requirements. Under
the bill, a course provider must disclose any conflict of interest and the courses may
not be provided by an employer of a pharmaceutical representative or be funded by
the pharmaceutical industry or a third party funded by the industry.
The bill requires that, no later than June 1 of each year, a pharmaceutical
representative report to OCI his or her total number of contacts with health care
professionals in Wisconsin, the specialties of those health care professionals, the
location and duration of each contact, the pharmaceuticals discussed, and the value
of any item provided to a health care professional. The bill directs the commissioner
to publish the information on OCI's website, without identifying individual health
care professionals.
The bill requires that a pharmaceutical representative, during each contact
with a health care professional, disclose the wholesale acquisition cost of any
pharmaceuticals discussed and the names of at least three generic prescription
drugs from the same therapeutic class.
The bill directs the commissioner to promulgate ethical standards for
pharmaceutical representatives. Additionally, the bill prohibits a pharmaceutical
representative from engaging in deceptive or misleading marketing of a
pharmaceutical product; using a title or designation that could reasonably lead a
licensed health care professional, or an employee or representative of such a
professional, to believe that he or she is licensed to practice in a health occupation
unless he or she holds a license to practice; or attending an examination without the
patient's consent.
Under the bill, an individual violating any of these provisions is subject to a fine
and his or her license may be suspended or revoked. An individual whose license is
revoked must wait at least two years before applying for a new license.
Pharmacy benefit management broker and consultant licensing
The bill requires a person who is acting as a pharmacy benefit management
broker or consultant or any other person who procures the services of a pharmacy
benefit manager on behalf of a client to obtain a license. The bill allows OCI to
establish criteria, procedures, and fees for licensure by rule. Pharmacy benefit
managers, as defined under current law, are entities that contract to administer or
manage prescription drug benefits on behalf of an insurer or other entity that
provides prescription drug benefits.
- 119 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
Pharmacy services administrative organizations
The bill requires that pharmacy services administrative organizations
(PSAOs) be licensed by OCI. Under the bill, a PSAO is an entity operating in
Wisconsin that does all of the following:
1. Contracts with an independent pharmacy to conduct business on the
pharmacy's behalf with a third-party payer.
2. Provides at least one administrative service to an independent pharmacy
and negotiates and enters into a contract with a third-party payer or pharmacy
benefit manager on the pharmacy's behalf.
The bill defines “independent pharmacy" to mean a licensed pharmacy
operating in Wisconsin that is under common ownership with no more than two other
pharmacies. “Administrative service” is defined to mean assisting with claims or
audits, providing centralized payment, performing certification in a specialized care
program, providing compliance support, setting flat fees for generic drugs, assisting
with store layout, managing inventory, providing marketing support, providing
management and analysis of payment and drug dispensing data, or providing
resources for retail cash cards. The bill defines “third-party payer” to mean an entity
operating in Wisconsin that pays or insures health, medical, or prescription drug
expenses on behalf of beneficiaries.
To obtain the license required by the bill, a person must apply to OCI and
provide the contact information for the applicant and a contact person, evidence of
financial responsibility of at least $1,000,000, and any other information required by
the commissioner. Under the bill, the license fee is set by the commissioner and the
term of a license is two years.
The bill also requires that a PSAO disclose to OCI the extent of any ownership
or control by an entity that provides pharmacy services; provides prescription drug
or device services; or manufactures, sells, or distributes prescription drugs,
biologicals, or medical devices. The PSAO must notify OCI within five days of any
material change in its ownership or control related to such an entity.
Cost-sharing cap on insulin
The bill prohibits every health insurance policy and governmental self-insured
health plan that covers insulin and imposes cost-sharing on prescription drugs from
imposing cost-sharing on insulin in an amount that exceeds $50 for a one-month
supply. Current law requires every health insurance policy that provides coverage
of expenses incurred for treatment of diabetes to provide coverage for specified
expenses and items, including insulin. The required coverage under current law for
certain diabetes treatments other than insulin infusion pumps is subject to the same
exclusions, limitations, deductibles, and coinsurance provisions of the policy as other
covered expenses. The bill's cost-sharing limitation on insulin supersedes the
specification that the exclusions, limitations, deductibles, and coinsurance are the
same as for other coverage.
Value-based diabetes medication pilot project
The bill directs OCI to develop a pilot project under which a pharmacy benefit
manager and pharmaceutical manufacturer are directed to create a value-based,
- 120 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
sole-source arrangement to reduce the costs of prescription diabetes medication.
The bill allows OCI to promulgate rules to implement the pilot project.
Insulin safety net programs
The bill requires insulin manufacturers to establish a program under which
qualifying Wisconsin residents who are in urgent need of insulin and are uninsured
or have limited insurance coverage can be dispensed insulin at a pharmacy. Under
the program, if a qualifying individual in urgent need of insulin provides a pharmacy
with a form attesting that the individual meets the program's eligibility
requirements, specified proof of residency, and a valid insulin prescription, the
pharmacy must dispense a 30-day supply of insulin to the individual and may charge
the individual a copayment of no more than $35. The pharmacy may submit an
electronic payment claim for the insulin's acquisition cost to the manufacturer or
agree to receive a replacement of the same insulin in the amount dispensed.
The bill also requires that insulin manufacturers establish a patient assistance
program to make insulin available to any qualifying Wisconsin resident who is
uninsured or has limited insurance coverage and whose income does not exceed 400
percent of the federal poverty guidelines. Under the bill, an individual must apply
to participate in a manufacturer's program. If the manufacturer determines that the
individual meets the program's eligibility requirements, the manufacturer issues
the individual a statement of eligibility, which is valid for 12 months and may be
renewed. Under the bill, if an individual with a statement of eligibility and valid
insulin prescription requests insulin from a pharmacy, the pharmacy must submit
an order to the manufacturer, who must then provide a 90-day supply of insulin at
no charge to the individual or pharmacy. The pharmacy may charge the individual
a copayment of no more than $50. Under the bill, a manufacturer is not required to
issue a statement of eligibility if the individual has prescription drug coverage
through an individual or group health plan and the manufacturer determines that
the individual's insulin needs are better addressed through the manufacturer's
copayment assistance program. In such case, the manufacturer must provide the
individual with the necessary drug coupons, and the individual may not be required
to pay more than a $50 copayment for a 90-day supply of insulin.
Under the bill, if the manufacturer determines that an individual is not eligible
for the patient assistance program, the individual may file an appeal with OCI. The
bill directs OCI to establish procedures for deciding appeals. Under the bill, OCI
must issue a decision within 10 days, and that decision is final.
The bill requires that insulin manufacturers annually report to OCI
information about the number of patients served and amount of insulin dispensed
under the programs and that OCI annually report to the legislature on the programs.
The bill also directs OCI to conduct public outreach and develop an information sheet
about the programs, conduct satisfaction surveys of individuals and pharmacies who
participate in the programs, and report to the legislature on the surveys by July 1,
2024. Additionally, the bill requires that OCI develop a training program for health
care navigators to assist individuals in accessing appropriate long-term insulin
options and maintain a list of trained navigators.

SENATE BILL 111
The bill provides that a manufacturer that fails to comply with the bill's
provisions may be assessed a penalty of up to $200,000 per month of noncompliance,
which increases to $400,000 if the manufacturer continues to be in noncompliance
after six months and to $600,000 if the manufacturer continues to be in
noncompliance after one year. The bill's requirements do not apply to manufacturers
with annual insulin sales revenue in Wisconsin of no more than $2,000,000 or to
insulin that costs less than a specified dollar amount.
Patient pharmacy benefits tool
The bill directs OCI to award grants in an amount of up to $500,000 in each
fiscal year to health care providers to develop and implement a tool that would allow
prescribers to disclose the cost of prescription drugs for patients. The tool must be
usable by physicians and other prescribers to determine the cost of prescription
drugs for their patients. Any health care provider that receives a grant to develop
and implement a patient pharmacy benefits tool is required to contribute matching
funds equal to at least 50 percent of the total grant awarded.
Prescription drug importation program
The bill requires the commissioner of insurance, in consultation with persons
interested in the sale and pricing of prescription drugs and federal officials and
agencies, to design and implement a prescription drug importation program for the
benefit of and that generates savings for Wisconsin residents. The bill establishes
requirements for the program, including all of the following: the commissioner must
designate a state agency to become or contract with a licensed wholesale distributor
and seek federal certification and approval to import prescription drugs; the
importation program must comply with certain federal regulations and import from
Canadian suppliers only prescription drugs that are not brand-name drugs, have
fewer than four competitor drugs in this country, and for which importation creates
substantial savings; the commissioner must ensure that prescription drugs
imported under the program are not distributed, dispensed, or sold outside of
Wisconsin; and the importation program must have an audit procedure to ensure the
program complies with certain requirements specified in the bill. Before submitting
the proposed implementation program to the federal government for certification,
the commissioner must submit the proposed importation program to JCF for its
approval.
State prescription drug purchasing entity
The bill requires OCI to conduct a study on the viability of creating or
implementing a state prescription drug purchasing entity.
Health insurance premium assistance program
The bill directs OCI to develop a program to provide premium assistance to
individuals who purchase a silver level plan on the health insurance exchange
created under the federal Affordable Care Act and whose household income is
between 138 and 250 percent of the federal poverty line. The bill requires that the
assistance be provided no later than plan year 2024 and that OCI include a cost
estimate for the program with the agency's 2023-24 biennial budget submission.
Under the bill, the assistance amount is the difference between the lowest-cost silver
- 122 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
level plan and lowest-cost bronze level plan in the county in which the individual
resides. The bill defines silver and bronze level plans with reference to federal law.
Under federal law, a silver level plan must provide coverage that is designed to
provide benefits that are actuarially equivalent to 70 percent of the full actuarial
value of the benefits provided under the plan, with the percentage reduced to 60
percent for a bronze level plan. Also under federal law, individuals who purchase a
silver level plan and whose household income does not exceed 250 percent of the
federal poverty line may be eligible for federal cost-sharing subsidies.
State-based exchange
The bill directs OCI to establish and operate a state-based health insurance
exchange. Under current law, the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that
an exchange be established in each state to facilitate the purchase of qualified health
insurance coverage by individuals and small employers. Under the ACA, a state
must operate its own state-based exchange, use the federally facilitated exchange
operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or adopt a hybrid
approach under which the state operates a state-based exchange but uses the
federal platform, known as HealthCare.gov, to handle eligibility and enrollment
functions. Wisconsin currently uses the federally facilitated exchange. The bill
directs OCI to establish and operate a state-based exchange, first by using the
federal platform and then transitioning to a fully state-run exchange. The bill
authorizes OCI to enter into any agreement with the federal government necessary
to implement these provisions. The bill also requires that OCI impose a user fee on
insurers offering plans through the state-based exchange. Under current law, the
ACA imposes user fees on insurers offering plans through federally facilitated
exchanges and state-based exchanges using the federal platform, which are
currently 3 percent and 2.5 percent of total monthly premiums, respectively. The bill
authorizes OCI to impose a user fee at the following rates:
1. For any plan year that OCI operates the state-based exchange using the
federal platform, the rate is 0.5 percent.
2. For the first two plan years that OCI operates the fully state-run exchange,
the rate is 3 percent. For later plan years, the rate is set by OCI by rule.
The bill also creates an annual appropriation in state general purpose revenue
for OCI's general program operations. Under the bill, OCI may spend up to $900,000
in fiscal year 2021-22 for the development of a public option health insurance plan.
Coverage of individuals with preexisting conditions and other insurance
market regulations
The bill requires certain health plans to guarantee access to coverage; prohibits
plans from imposing preexisting condition exclusions; prohibits plans from setting
premiums or cost-sharing amounts based on health status-related factors; prohibits
plans from setting lifetime or annual limits on benefits; requires plans to cover
certain essential health benefits; requires coverage of certain preventive services by
plans without a cost-sharing contribution by an enrollee; sets a maximum annual
amount of cost sharing for enrollees; and designates risk pool, medical loss ratio, and
actuarial value requirements.

SENATE BILL 111
The bill requires every individual health insurance policy, known in the bill as
a health benefit plan, to accept every individual who, and every group health
insurance policy to accept every employer that, applies for coverage, regardless of
sexual orientation, gender identity, or whether an employee or individual has a
preexisting condition. The bill allows health benefit plans to restrict enrollment in
coverage to open or special enrollment periods and requires the commissioner of
insurance to establish a statewide open enrollment period of no shorter than 30 days
for every individual health benefit plan. The bill prohibits a group health insurance
policy, including a self-insured governmental health plan, from imposing a
preexisting condition exclusion. The bill also prohibits an individual health
insurance policy from reducing or denying a claim or loss incurred or disability
commencing under the policy on the ground that a disease or physical condition
existed prior to the effective date of coverage.
A health benefit plan offered on the individual or small employer market or a
self-insured governmental health plan may not vary premium rates for a specific
plan except on the basis of whether the plan covers an individual or family, area in
the state, age, and tobacco use as specified in the bill. An individual health benefit
plan or self-insured health plan is prohibited under the bill from establishing rules
for the eligibility of any individual to enroll based on health-status related factors,
which are specified in the bill. A self-insured health plan or an insurer offering an
individual health benefit plan is also prohibited from requiring an enrollee to pay a
greater premium, contribution, deductible, copayment, or coinsurance amount than
is required of a similarly situated enrollee based on a health-status related factor.
Current state law prohibits group health benefit plans from establishing rules of
eligibility or requiring greater premium or contribution amounts based on a
health-status related factor. The bill adds to these current law requirements for
group health benefit plans that the plan may not require a greater deductible,
copayment, or coinsurance amount based on a health-status related factor.
Under the bill, an individual or group health benefit plan or a self-insured
governmental health plan may not establish lifetime or annual limits on the dollar
value of benefits for an enrollee or a dependent of an enrollee under the plan. The
bill specifies a maximum amount of cost-sharing that a plan may impose as the
amount calculated under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA).
The bill requires individual and small employer plans to have either a single
statewide risk pool for the individual market and a single pool for the small employer
market or a single statewide risk pool for a combination of the individual and small
employer markets. The bill requires individual and small employer plans to have a
medical loss ratio of at least 80 percent and larger group plans to have a medical loss
ratio of at least 85 percent. The medical loss ratio is the proportion of premium
revenues that the plan spends on clinical services and quality improvement. The bill
also requires individual and small employer plans to provide a level of coverage that
is designed to provide benefits that are actuarially equivalent to at least 60 percent
of the full actuarial value of the benefits provided under the plan. An actuarial value
of 60 percent corresponds to a bronze tier plan under the ACA.

SENATE BILL 111
The bill requires certain health insurance policies, known in the bill as
disability insurance policies, and self-insured governmental health plans to cover
essential health benefits that will be specified by the commissioner of insurance by
rule. The bill specifies a list of requirements that the commissioner must follow when
establishing the essential health benefits including certain limitations on
cost-sharing and the following general categories of benefits, items, or services in
which the commissioner must require coverage: ambulatory patient services,
emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health
and substance use disorder services, prescription drugs, rehabilitative and
habilitative services and devices, laboratory services, preventive and wellness
services and chronic disease management, and pediatric services. If an essential
health benefit specified by the commissioner is also subject to its own mandated
coverage requirement, the bill requires the disability insurance policy or
self-insured health plan to provide coverage under whichever requirement provides
the insured or plan participant with more comprehensive coverage.
The bill requires health insurance policies and self-insured governmental
health plans to cover certain preventive services and to provide coverage of those
preventive services without subjecting that coverage to deductibles, copayments, or
coinsurance. The preventive services for which coverage is required are specified in
the bill. The bill also specifies certain instances when cost-sharing amounts may be
charged for an office visit associated with a preventive service.
Short-term plan coverage requirements
The bill generally sets certain coverage requirements on health plans that are
short-term limited duration health plans. Under current law, short-term plans may
have an initial term of no longer than 12 months and may have an aggregate duration
of no longer than 18 months. The bill shortens the initial term to no longer than three
months and the aggregate duration to no longer than six months.
The bill requires every short-term, limited duration plan to accept every
individual who applies for coverage, whether the individual has a preexisting
condition. Current law allows short-term limited duration plans to impose a
preexisting condition exclusion but requires the plan to reduce the length of time of
the exclusion by the aggregate duration of the insured's consecutive periods of
coverage. A preexisting condition exclusion is a period of time during which a plan
will not cover a medical condition for which the insured received some medical
attention before the effective date of coverage. The bill, however, prohibits
short-term, limited duration plans from imposing any preexisting condition
exclusion.
A short-term, limited duration plan may not vary premium rates for a specific
plan except on the basis of whether the plan covers an individual or family, area in
the state, age, and tobacco use as specified in the bill. A short-term, limited duration
plan is prohibited under the bill from establishing rules for the eligibility of any
individual to enroll based on health status-related factors, which are specified in the
bill, and from requiring an enrollee to pay a greater premium, contribution,
deductible, copayment, or coinsurance amount than is required of a similarly
situated enrollee based on a health status-related factor. Under the bill, a
- 125 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
short-term, limited duration plan may not establish lifetime or limits for the
duration of the coverage on the dollar value of benefits for an enrollee or a dependent
of an enrollee under the plan.
Balance billing for emergency medical services and other items and services
The bill requires defined network plans, such as health maintenance
organizations, and certain preferred provider plans and self-insured governmental
plans that cover benefits or services provided in either an emergency department of
a hospital or independent freestanding emergency department to cover emergency
benefits without requiring a prior authorization determination and without regard
to whether or not the health care provider providing the emergency medical services
is a participating provider or facility. If the emergency medical services for which
coverage is required are provided by a nonparticipating provider, the plan must 1)
not impose a prior authorization requirement or other limitation that is more
restrictive than if the service was provided by a participating provider, 2) not impose
cost-sharing on the enrollee that is greater than the cost-sharing required if the
service was provided by a participating provider, 3) calculate the cost-sharing
amount to be equal to the amount that would have been charged if the service was
provided by a participating provider, 4) provide, within 30 days of the provider's or
facility's bill, an initial payment or denial notice to the provider or facility and then
pay a total amount to the provider or facility that is equal to the amount by which
the provider's or facility's rate exceeds the amount it received in cost-sharing from
the enrollee, and 5) count any cost-sharing payment made by the enrollee for the
emergency medical services toward any in-network deductible or out-of-pocket
maximum as if the cost-sharing payment were made for services provided by a
participating provider or facility. The provider or facility may not bill or hold liable
an enrollee of the plan for any amount for the emergency medical service that is more
than the cost-sharing amount that is determined as described in the bill for the
emergency medical service.
For coverage of an item or service that is provided by a nonparticipating
provider in a participating facility, a plan must 1) not impose a cost-sharing
requirement for the item or service that is greater than the cost-sharing
requirement that would have been imposed if the item or service was provided by a
participating provider, 2) calculate the cost-sharing amount to be equal to the
amount that would have been charged if the service was provided by a participating
provider, 3) provide, within 30 days of the provider's bill, an initial payment or denial
notice to the provider and then pay a total amount to the provider that is equal to the
amount by which the provider's rate exceeds the amount it received in cost-sharing
from the enrollee, and 4) count any cost-sharing payment made by the enrollee for
the emergency medical services toward any in-network deductible or out-of-pocket
maximum as if the cost-sharing payment were made for services provided by a
participating provider. A nonparticipating provider providing an item or service in
a participating facility may not bill or hold liable an enrollee for more than the
cost-sharing amount unless the provider provides notice and obtains consent as
described in the bill. However, if the nonparticipating provider is providing an
ancillary item or service that is specified in the bill and the commissioner of
- 126 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
insurance has not specifically allowed balance billing for that item or service by rule,
the nonparticipating provider providing the ancillary item or service in a
participating facility may not bill or hold liable an enrollee for more than the
cost-sharing amount.
A provider or facility that is entitled to a payment under the bill for an
emergency medical service or other item or service may initiate open negotiations
with the plan to determine the amount of payment. If the open negotiation period
terminates without determination of the payment amount, the provider, facility, or
plan may initiate the independent dispute resolution process as specified by the
commissioner of insurance. If an enrollee of a plan is a continuing care patient, as
defined in the bill, and is obtaining services from a participating provider or facility
and the contract is terminated or the coverage of benefits is going to be terminated,
the plan must notify an enrollee of the enrollee's right to elect to continue transitional
care, provide the enrollee an opportunity to notify the plan of the need for
transitional care, and allow the enrollee to continue to have the benefits provided
under the plan under the same terms and conditions as would have applied without
the termination until either 90 days after the termination notice date or the date on
which the enrollee is no longer a continuing care patient, whichever is earlier.
Telehealth parity
The bill requires health insurance policies and self-insured governmental
health plans to cover a treatment or service that is provided through telehealth if the
treatment or service is covered by the policy or plan when provided in person. A
policy or plan may limit its coverage to those treatments or services that are
medically necessary. “Telehealth” is defined in the bill as a practice of health care
delivery, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, or transfer of medically relevant data
by means of audio, video, or data communications that are used either during a
patient visit or consultation or are used to transfer medically relevant data about a
patient. Health insurance policies are referred to as disability insurance policies in
the bill, and a self-insured governmental health plan is a self-funded health plan
of the state or a county, city, village, town, or school district.
The bill also sets parameters on the coverage of telehealth treatments and
services that is required in the bill. A policy or plan may not subject a telehealth
treatment or service to a greater deductible, copayment, or coinsurance than if
provided in person. Similarly, a policy or plan may not impose a policy or calendar
year or a lifetime benefit limit or other maximum limitation or a prior authorization
requirement on a telehealth treatment or service that is not imposed on treatments
or services provided through manners other than telehealth. A policy or plan also
may not place unique location requirements on telehealth treatment or services. If
a policy or plan covers a telehealth treatment or service that has no in-person
equivalent, the policy or plan must disclose this in the policy or plan materials.
Participation by school districts in state group health insurance plan
The bill requires the commissioner of insurance to create a task force to develop
an implementation plan for participation by school districts in a group health
insurance plan offered by the Group Insurance Board. The task force consists of 13
- 127 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

SENATE BILL 111
members appointed by the governor, including a representative from each of the
following entities: OCI, DOA, DPI, and ETF. The task force also includes one
administrator of a school district, one business official of a school district, one
member of a school board, one official of a public employee union, three employees
of public schools, and one representative of a health plan. Under the bill, the
commissioner of insurance and the secretary of employee trust funds are required
to consult with the task force and review an actuarial study conducted by GIB and
develop a plan to implement participation by school districts in a group health
insurance plan offered by GIB, by January 1, 2024. Finally, under the bill, the
commissioner of insurance and the secretary of employee trust funds are required
to provide the implementation plan to the governor and JCF no later than December
31, 2022.
Outreach and education regarding employee misclassification
The bill directs the commissioner of insurance to conduct, on at least an annual
basis, outreach and education to insurers and other persons regulated by the state
insurance laws on how to identify the misclassification of employees and report
suspected misclassifications to the appropriate federal and state agencies.
JUSTICE
Powers of the attorney general
The bill repeals changes made to the powers of the attorney general in 2017
Wisconsin Act 369 relating to the power to compromise or discontinue civil actions
prosecuted by DOJ and the power to compromise and settle actions in cases in which
DOJ is defending the state. The bill reestablishes these settlement powers as they
existed under the law before 2017 Wisconsin Act 369 was enacted.
The bill allows the attorney general to compromise or discontinue actions
prosecuted by DOJ 1) when directed by the officer, department, board, or commission
that directed the prosecution or 2) with the approval of the governor when the action
is prosecuted by DOJ on the initiative of the attorney general or at the request of any
individual. The bill eliminates the requirement for approval of a compromise or
discontinuance from a legislative intervenor or JCF. It also eliminates the
requirement for the attorney general to obtain approval of a compromise or
discontinuance by the Joint Committee on Legislative Organization in certain
circumstances before submitting a proposed plan to JCF.
Under the bill, when DOJ is defending the state, the attorney general may
compromise and settle the action as the attorney general determines to be in the best
interest of the state. The bill eliminates the requirement under current law that, in
actions for injunctive relief or if there is a proposed consent decree, the attorney
general must 1) obtain the approval of any legislative intervenor or 2) if there is no
intervenor, submit a proposed plan to JCF and, in certain circumstances, obtain
approval of JCF. The bill also eliminates the requirement for the attorney general
to obtain approval from JCLO in certain circumstances before submitting a proposed
plan of settlement or compromise to JCF.

Gifts and grants and disposition of settlement funds
The bill repeals certain changes made by 2017 Wisconsin Act 369 relating to
gifts and grants and certain proceeds received by DOJ, specifically reversing
provisions that changed a DOJ gifts and grants appropriation and a DOJ gifts,
grants, and proceeds appropriation from continuing appropriations to annual
appropriations.
Second, the bill repeals the requirement that the attorney general must deposit
all settlement funds into the general fund. The bill restores procedures relating to
discretionary settlement funds under which the attorney general could expend
certain settlement funds not committed under the terms of a settlement after
submitting a plan to JCF for passive review and either 1) the cochairpersons of JCF
do not schedule a meeting; or 2) a meeting is scheduled and JCF approves a plan for
expenditure.
Sexual assault kits
Under current law, there is no statutory procedure for the collection and
processing of sexual assault kits. The bill creates procedures for transmission,
processing, and storage of sexual assault kits. Under the bill, a health care
professional who collects a sexual assault kit must do one of the following: 1) if the
victim wants to report the sexual assault to law enforcement, the health care
professional must notify a law enforcement agency within 24 hours of collecting the
kit; or 2) if the victim does not want to report the sexual assault to law enforcement,
the health care professional must send the kit to the state crime laboratories within
72 hours for storage. Under the bill, if a law enforcement agency has received
notification from a health care professional that a kit has been collected, the law
enforcement agency must take possession of the kit within 72 hours and must send
the kit to the state crime laboratories for processing within 14 days. If the victim
changes his or her mind about wanting to have his or her kit analyzed after it is given
to a law enforcement agency but before the agency sends the kit to the state crime
laboratories for processing, the agency must send the kit to the state crime
laboratories for storage rather than for processing.
Under the bill, once the state crime laboratories takes possession of a sexual
assault kit, it must do one of the following: 1) if it has received the kit of a person who
has not consented to analysis, securely store the kit for a period of 10 years; or 2) if
it has received the kit of a person who has consented to analysis, process the kit and
then send it to a law enforcement agency to store the kit for a period of 50 years, or
until the date of the expiration of the statute of limitations, or until the end of a term
of imprisonment or probation of a person convicted in the sexual assault case,
whichever is longer.
Under current law, local law enforcement agencies report certain crime
statistics to DOJ. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to provide additional
data to DOJ regarding sexual assault kits collected and processed in Wisconsin in
addition to the data currently being reported. The bill also requires DOJ to publish
data on law enforcement agency compliance with DOJ reporting requirements.

SENATE BILL 111
Collection of data from traffic stops
The bill requires a law enforcement agency to collect the following information
concerning motor vehicle stops made on or after January 1, 2022: 1) the name,
address, gender, and race of the operator of the motor vehicle, with the officer
subjectively determining the person's race as being Caucasian, Black or African
American, Hispanic, American Indian or Alaska Native, or Asian or Pacific Islander;
2) the reason for the motor vehicle stop; 3) the make and year of the motor vehicle;
4) the date, time, and location of the motor vehicle stop; 5) whether or not a law
enforcement officer conducted a search of the motor vehicle, the operator, or any
passenger and, if so, whether the search was with consent or by other means; 6) the
name, address, gender, and race of any person searched; and 7) the name and badge
number of the officer making the motor vehicle stop.
The information that is collected under the bill concerning motor vehicle stops
is not subject to inspection or copying as a public record. The information, however,
must be forwarded to DOJ, which must then compile and analyze it, along with any
other relevant information, to determine, both for the state as a whole and for each
law enforcement agency, whether the number of stops and searches involving motor
vehicles operated or occupied by members of a racial minority are disproportionate
compared to the number of stops and searches involving motor vehicles operated or
occupied solely by persons who are not members of a racial minority.
Universal background check requirement for all firearm transfers
Current law provides that a federally licensed firearms dealer may not transfer
a handgun after a sale until the dealer has asked DOJ to perform a background check
on the prospective transferee to determine if he or she is prohibited from possessing
a firearm under state or federal law. The bill generally prohibits any person from
transferring any firearm, including the frame or receiver of a firearm, unless the
transfer occurs through a federally licensed firearms dealer and involves a DOJ
background check of the prospective transferee. Under the bill, the following are
excepted from that prohibition: a transfer to a firearms dealer or to a law
enforcement or armed services agency; a transfer of a firearm classified as antique;
or a transfer that is by gift, bequest, or inheritance to a family member. A person who
is convicted of violating the prohibition is guilty of a misdemeanor and must be fined
not less than $500 nor more than $10,000, may be imprisoned for not more than nine
months, and may not possess a firearm for a period of two years.
Treatment alternatives and diversion grant program
Under current law, DOJ, in collaboration with DOC and DHS, awards grants
to counties or tribes that have established qualifying treatment alternatives and
diversion (TAD) programs that offer substance abuse or mental health treatment
services as alternatives to prosecution or incarceration in order to reduce recidivism,
promote public safety, and reduce prison and jail populations.
Under current law, in order to qualify for a TAD grant, a county's or tribe's
program is required to match 25 percent of the grant, and a program is required to
charge participants a fee to participate. A county or tribe that receives a TAD grant
must create an oversight committee to administer and evaluate its program. DOJ
is required to make grants available to any county or tribe on a competitive basis
- 130 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
every five years. At the end of the five-year grant cycle, DOJ is required to prepare
a comprehensive report on the grant program based on annual reports and other data
it collects from the counties and tribes.
The bill makes several changes to the TAD grant program. Under the bill, a
program funded by a TAD grant need not focus solely on alcohol and other drug
treatment, but must employ evidence-based practices targeted to the population
served by the program. The bill changes the match requirement from 25 percent to
10 percent and changes the competitive grant process to a four-year cycle. The bill
allows, but does not require, an eligible program to charge participants a fee for their
treatment. The bill also eliminates certain requirements pertaining to exposure of
genitals during drug testing.
Under current law, when a person pleads or is found guilty of certain drug
offenses, the court is required to order a substance use assessment. Under current
law, the court does not have to order an assessment if the person is already covered
by such an order, has recently completed an assessment under such an order, or is
participating in a TAD program. The bill specifies that if a person is participating
in any evidence-based substance use disorder treatment program as determined by
DOJ, regardless of its status relating to the TAD program, the court does not need
to order an assessment.
Sentencing review council
The bill creates the Sentencing Review Council within DOJ. The council is
charged with studying and making recommendations on 1) criminal penalties and
reforming the Criminal Code; 2) the equitability of sentences; 3) the state's
bifurcated sentencing structure; and 4) sentencing for individuals who were age 18
to 25 at the time the crime was committed. Under the bill, membership of and
appointments to the council are determined by the governor.
Grants for alternative emergency response and 911 diversion
The bill creates a grant program within DOJ for alternative emergency
response and 911 diversion. Under the bill, DOJ must issue grants to counties with
a population of 750,000 or more to facilitate contracts between local health
departments and behavioral crisis support service providers and to support
research, design, and personnel costs associated with creating programs to divert
behavioral health situations in 911 call centers.
Sexual assault victim services grants for the Wisconsin Coalition Against
Sexual Assault
Under current law, DOJ administers a grant program to provide grants to
organizations that provide services to victims of sexual assault. The bill requires
that, in addition to the other grants under the program, DOJ must provide an annual
grant of $100,000 to the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault. Under the bill,
the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault may also apply for additional grants
under the program.
Youth diversion services
Under current law, DOJ allocates $1,050,000 to contract with organizations to
provide services in Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and Brown Counties for the
- 131 -

SENATE BILL 111
diversion of youths from gang activities into productive activities such as
educational, recreational, and employment programs. Under current law, these
contracts are funded by a penalty surcharge on court fines and forfeitures. The bill
creates a GPR appropriation account from which funding for these services may be
provided.
County Victim Witness Reimbursement
Under current law, there are three program revenue appropriations from which
DOJ is required to reimburse counties for services provided to victims and witnesses
of crime. The bill creates an additional general purpose revenue annual
appropriation from which DOJ is required to reimburse counties for services
provided to victims and witnesses of crime.
Nonviolent offender diversion program
The 2019 biennial budget created a diversion pilot program for nonviolent
criminal offenders to be diverted to a treatment option. Under current law, the pilot
program sunsets on July 1, 2021. The bill repeals that sunset so that the diversion
program remains in place beyond July 1, 2021.
Ongoing transfer for investigation of crimes against children
The bill creates an ongoing transfer of moneys collected from crime laboratory,
DNA analysis, and drug law enforcement surcharges to an appropriation to be used
for investigation and prosecution of internet crimes against children.
Relator appropriation
The bill creates a continuing appropriation to hold all money received by DOJ
that is owed to a relator, to provide payments to relators. A relator is a type of party
in a legal action in whose name an action is brought by a state.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Use of force policies
Under current law, each law enforcement agency must have a written public
policy that regulates the use of force by law enforcement officers. The bill makes
several changes that affect this requirement.
First, the bill requires the law enforcement agency to post its policy on the law
enforcement agency website or, if the agency does not have one, on a website
maintained by the municipality over which the law enforcement agency has
jurisdiction.
Second, the bill requires each law enforcement agency to ensure that its use of
force policy incorporates the following principles: that the primary duty of all law
enforcement is to preserve the life of all individuals; that deadly force is to be used
only as the last resort; that chokeholds are banned; that officers should use skills and
tactics that minimize the likelihood that force will become necessary; that, if officers
must use physical force, it should be the least amount of force necessary to safely
address the threat; and that law enforcement officers must take reasonable action
to stop or prevent any unreasonable use of force by their colleagues.
Third, under the bill, each law enforcement officer must annually complete at
least eight hours of training on use-of-force options and techniques a law
enforcement officer may use to de-escalate a potentially unstable situation.

SENATE BILL 111
Fourth, the bill prohibits disciplining a law enforcement officer for reporting a
violation of a law enforcement agency's use of force policy.
Finally, the bill requires the Law Enforcement Standards Board to develop a
model use of force policy for law enforcement agencies. The model policy must
address interactions with individuals with mental disorders, alcohol or drug
problems, dementia disorders, and developmental disabilities; limit the use of force
against vulnerable populations; and include other best practices that LESB
identifies.
Reports on use of force incidents
Current law requires DOJ to collect certain information concerning criminal
offenses committed in Wisconsin. The bill requires DOJ to collect data and publish
an annual report on law enforcement use of force incidents, including incidents in
which there was a shooting, in which a firearm was discharged in the direction of a
person (even if there was no injury), and in which other serious bodily harm resulted
from the incident. The bill requires certain demographic information to be collected
about each such incident, and reported annually by DOJ on its website.
Grant program to reduce violence
The bill creates a $1,000,000 grant program, administered by DOJ, to fund
community organizations that are utilizing evidence-based outreach and violence
interruption strategies to mediate conflicts, prevent retaliation and other potentially
violent situations, and connect individuals to community supports.
Cause of action for unnecessarily summoning a law enforcement officer
The bill creates a civil cause of action for unnecessarily summoning a law
enforcement officer. Under the bill, a person may bring an action against another
person who, with the intent to do any of the following, causes a law enforcement
officer to arrive at a location to contact the person: infringe upon a constitutional
right of the person; unlawfully discriminate against the person; cause the person to
feel harassed, humiliated, or embarrassed; cause the person to be expelled from a
place in which the person is lawfully located; damage the person's reputation or
standing within the community; or damage the person's financial, economic,
consumer, or business prospects or interests.
Under the bill, the person may recover the greater of special and general
damages, including damages for emotional distress, or an amount equal to $250 from
each defendant found liable; punitive damages; and costs, including all reasonable
attorney fees and other costs of the investigation and litigation that were reasonably
incurred.
Prohibition on no-knock warrants
Under current law, a law enforcement officer executing a search warrant must
knock and announce before entering unless, at the time the warrant is executed, the
law enforcement officer has a reasonable suspicion that knocking and announcing
will be dangerous or futile or will inhibit the effective investigation of the crime. The
bill requires that a law enforcement officer executing a search warrant must, before
entering the premises, identify himself or herself as a law enforcement officer and
announce the authority and purpose of the entry.

Training and recruiting officers
The bill makes certain changes to the responsibilities of the Law Enforcement
Standards Board. Under current law, LESB regulates the training of law
enforcement officers. The bill requires LESB to also regulate jail and juvenile
detention officer training standards, and to regulate recruitment standards for the
recruiting of new law enforcement, jail, and juvenile detention officers.
The bill also requires each law enforcement agency to maintain an employment
file for each employee. Under the bill, when a law enforcement agency, jail, or
juvenile detention facility is recruiting for new officers, the agency, jail, or facility
must require each candidate that is or has been employed by a different agency, jail,
or facility to authorize that employer to disclose his or her employment files to the
recruiting agency, jail, or facility and to release that employer from any liability
related to the use and disclosure of the files.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT
PUBLIC CONTRACTS
Bidding thresholds
In general, under current law, a second, third, or fourth class city or a village,
town, county, technical college district board, or federated public library system must
let a public contract having an estimated cost of more than $25,000 to the lowest
responsible bidder. Under the bill, the amount above which any of these local
governmental units must let a contract to the lowest responsible bidder is raised to
$50,000.
LEVY LIMITS
Levy limits; alternative minimum growth factor increase
Generally under current law, local levy limits are applied to the property tax
levies that are imposed by a city, village, town, or county (political subdivision) in
December of each year. Current law prohibits any political subdivision from
increasing its levy by a percentage that exceeds its “valuation factor," which is
defined as the greater of either 0 percent or the percentage change in the political
subdivision's equalized value due to new construction, less improvements removed.
The bill increases the alternative percentage factor for purposes of the “valuation
factor” to 2 percent.
Levy limit reduction for service transfer
Under current law, if a political subdivision transfers to another governmental
unit the responsibility to provide a service that it provided in the previous year, the
levy limit otherwise applicable in the current year is decreased to reflect the cost that
the political subdivision would have incurred to provide that service. The bill repeals
that provision.
Levy limit negative adjustment for certain service revenues
Under current law, a political subdivision must reduce its allowable levy by the
estimated amount of any revenue from fees or payments in lieu of taxes if the revenue
is received for providing certain “covered services" that were funded with property
tax revenues in calendar year 2013. The “covered services" are certain garbage

collection, fire protection, snow plowing, street sweeping, and storm water
management.
The bill repeals the requirement that a political subdivision must reduce its
allowable levy by the estimated amount of revenues received for providing covered
services that were funded with property tax revenues in calendar year 2013.
Levy limit exclusion for cross-municipality transit routes
Current law contains a number of exceptions to the levy limit, such as amounts
a county levies for a countywide emergency medical system, for a county children
with disabilities education board, and for certain bridge and culvert construction and
repair. In addition, a political subdivision may exceed the levy limit that is otherwise
applicable if its governing body adopts a resolution to do so and if that resolution is
approved by the electors in a referendum.
The bill creates another exception to local levy limits. Under the bill, amounts
levied by a political subdivision for costs related to new or enhanced transit services
that cross adjacent county or municipal borders do not apply to the limit if the
political subdivisions between which the routes operate have entered into an
agreement to provide for the services and if the agreement is approved in a
referendum.
Levy limit exception for regional planning commission contributions
The bill creates a local levy limit exception for the amount a political
subdivision levies to pay for the political subdivision's share of a regional planning
commission's (RPC's) budget.
An RPC's budget is determined annually by the RPC. The RPC then charges
all political subdivisions within its jurisdiction a proportional amount to fund the
budget based on the equalized value of property in the political subdivision and the
total amount of equalized value of property within the RPC's jurisdiction.
TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING
Tax incremental housing for workforce housing
The bill authorizes workforce housing initiatives and makes changes that affect
tax incremental districts and state housing grants. The bill creates a definition for
workforce housing, changes the definition of “mixed-use development TID,”
increases the maximum number of years a city or village may extend the life of a TID
to improve its affordable and workforce housing, requires a TID's project plan to
contain alternative economic projections, and changes the method of imposing
certain impact fees.
Under the bill, a political subdivision may put into effect a workforce housing
initiative by taking one of several specified actions and posting on its website an
explanation of the initiative. Workforce housing initiatives include the following:
reducing permit processing times or impact fees for workforce housing; increasing
zoning density for a workforce housing development; rehabilitating existing
uninhabitable housing stock into habitable workforce housing; or implementing any
other initiative to address workforce housing needs. Once an initiative takes effect,
it remains in effect for five years. After June 30, 2021, if a political subdivision has
in effect at least three initiatives at the same time, WHEDA, WEDC, and DOA must

SENATE BILL 111
give priority to housing grant applications from, or related to a project in, the political
subdivision.
The bill defines “workforce housing” to mean the following, subject to the
five-year average median costs as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau:
1. Housing that costs a household no more than 30 percent of the household's
gross median income.
2. Housing that comprises residential units for initial occupancy by individuals
whose household median income is no more than 120 percent of the county's gross
median income.
Under current law, a mixed-use development TID contains a combination of
industrial, commercial, or residential uses, although newly platted residential areas
may not exceed more than 35 percent of the real property within the TID. Under the
bill, newly platted residential areas may not exceed either the 35 percent limit or 60
percent of the real property within the TID if the newly platted residential use that
exceeds 35 percent is used solely for workforce housing.
Currently, a city or village may extend the life of a TID for up to one year for
housing stock improvement if all of the following occurs:
1. The city or village pays off all of the TID's project costs.
2. The city or village adopts a resolution stating that it intends to extend the
life of the TID, the number of months it intends to do so, and how it intends to improve
housing stock.
3. The city or village notifies DOR.
Current law requires the city or village to use 75 percent of the tax increments
received during the period specified in the resolution to benefit affordable housing
in the city or village and 25 percent to improve the city's or village's housing stock.
Under the bill, a city or village may extend the life of a TID for up to three years
to increase the number of affordable and workforce housing improvements. The bill
also changes the term “housing stock” to “affordable and workforce housing units.”
Under current law, if a city, village, or town (municipality) imposes an impact
fee on a developer to pay for certain capital costs to accommodate land development,
the municipality may provide in the ordinance an exemption from, or a reduction in
the amount of, impact fees on land development that provides low-cost housing.
Under the bill, the impact fee exemption or reduction provisions also apply to
workforce housing. Current law prevents the shifting of an exemption from or
reduction in impact fees to any other development in the land development in which
the low-cost housing is located. The bill applies this provision to workforce housing
as well.
Tax incremental districts in city of Wisconsin Dells
The bill extends the expenditure periods for two tax incremental districts in the
City of Wisconsin Dells. Under current law, a city or village that creates a TID
generally may not make expenditures for project costs later than five years before
the TID's unextended termination date. Under the bill, the City of Wisconsin Dells
may make expenditures for project costs through November 2026 for TID Number
Two and through May 2040 for TID Number Three.

GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Provision and funding of emergency medical services by towns
The bill authorizes a town to contract for or maintain emergency medical
services for the town. The bill also authorizes a town to do any of the following for
the purpose of funding these emergency medical services:
1. Appropriate money.
2. Charge property owners a fee for the cost of emergency medical services
provided to their property according to a written schedule established by the town
board.
3. Levy taxes on the entire town.
4. Levy taxes on property served by a particular source of emergency medical
services, to support the source of emergency medical services.
Municipality construction, ownership, or operation of broadband facilities
Current law prohibits, with several exceptions, a municipality from
constructing, owning, or operating a facility for providing video service,
telecommunications service, or broadband service to the public unless 1) the
municipality holds a public hearing on the proposed action, 2) notice of the public
hearing is given, and 3) the municipality prepares and makes available for public
inspection a report estimating the total costs of, and revenues derived from,
constructing, owning, or operating the facility for a period of at least three years. The
bill eliminates the requirement that a municipality prepare and make available for
public inspection that report if the facility is a broadband facility intended to serve
an area designated as underserved or unserved by PSC.
Currently, under one of the exceptions, the public hearing and cost report do not
apply to a facility for providing broadband service if 1) the municipality offers use of
the facility on a nondiscriminatory basis to persons who provide broadband service
to end users of the service, 2) the municipality itself does not use the facility to
provide broadband service to end users, and 3) the municipality determines that, at
the time of authorization, the facility does not compete with more than one provider
of broadband service. The bill eliminates the requirements under items 2 and 3 for
facilities that are intended to serve an underserved or unserved area. As a result,
a municipality is not required to hold a public hearing or prepare a report for a
broadband facility intended to serve an underserved or unserved area if the
municipality offers use of the facility on a nondiscriminatory basis to persons who
provide broadband service.
Currently, under another of the exceptions, the public hearing and cost report
do not apply to a facility for providing broadband service to an area within the
boundaries of a municipality if the municipality asks, in writing, each person that
provides broadband service within the boundaries of the municipality whether the
person currently provides broadband service to the area or intends to provide
broadband service to the area within nine months and 1) does not receive an
affirmative response within 60 days, 2) the municipality determines that a person
who responded does not currently provide broadband service to the area, and no
other person makes the response to the municipality, or 3) the municipality
determines that a person who responded that the person intended to provide
- 137 -

LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
broadband service to the area within nine months did not actually provide the service
within nine months and no other person makes the response to the municipality.
Under the bill, for this exception in the case of an underserved or unserved area,
rather than asking whether a person plans to provide broadband service to the area
within nine months, the municipality must ask whether the person intends or
actively plans to provide broadband service to the area within three months.
County debt issuance
The bill authorizes a county to issue debt to replace revenue lost due to a
disaster or public health emergency declared by the governor or by the county board
itself. The county board must adopt a resolution stating that the debt is issued for
such a purpose, must specify the amount of revenue lost or expected to be lost, and
must send a certified copy of the resolution to DOA. DOA must determine, based on
the resolution and any other available information, the appropriate amount of debt
that the county may issue. The bill requires DOA to promulgate any rules it believes
are necessary to administer its requirement to determine the appropriate amount
of debt. Under the bill, the county may not issue debt in an amount that exceeds the
amount specified by DOA. The debt may not be issued for a term that exceeds 10
years.
Use of premiums received in issuance of municipal obligations
Under current law, the proceeds of municipal obligations must be paid into a
municipality's borrowed money fund, except that any accrued interest and any
premium received when municipal obligations are sold above par value must be paid
into the debt service fund. In general, moneys may be disbursed from the borrowed
money fund only for the purposes for which the municipal obligations were issued
and from the debt service fund only to pay debt service on the obligations. Under the
bill, a premium received when municipal obligations are sold above par value is paid
into the debt service fund only to the extent provided in a resolution authorizing the
issuance of the municipal obligations.
Local landlord-tenant ordinances
Current law prohibits political subdivisions from enacting certain ordinances
relating to landlords and tenants. Political subdivisions may not do any of the
following:
1. Prohibit or limit landlords from obtaining or using certain information
relating to a tenant or prospective tenant, including monthly household income,
occupation, rental history, credit information, court records, and social security
numbers.
2. Limit how far back in time a landlord may look at a prospective tenant's
credit information, conviction record, or previous housing.
3. Prohibit or limit a landlord from entering into a rental agreement with a
prospective tenant while the premises are occupied by a current tenant.
4. Prohibit or limit a landlord from showing a premises to a prospective tenant
during a current tenant's tenancy.
5. Place requirements on a landlord with respect to security deposits or earnest
money or inspections that are in addition to what is required under administrative
rules.

6. Limit a tenant's responsibility for any damage to or neglect of the premises.
7. Require a landlord to provide any information to tenants or to the local
government any information that is not required to be provided under federal or
state law.
8. Require a residential property to be inspected except under certain
circumstances.
9. Impose an occupancy or transfer of tenancy fee on a rental unit.
Current law also prohibits political subdivisions from regulating rent
abatement in a way that permits abatement for conditions other than those that
materially affect the health or safety of the tenant or that substantially affect the use
and occupancy of the premises. The bill eliminates all of these prohibitions.
Local moratorium on evictions
Current law prohibits political subdivisions from imposing a moratorium on
landlords from pursuing evictions actions against a tenant. The bill eliminates that
prohibition.
Local employment regulations
The bill repeals the preemptions of local governments from enacting or
enforcing ordinances related to the following:
1. Regulations related to wage claims and collections.
2. Regulation of employee hours and overtime, including scheduling of
employee work hours or shifts.
3. The employment benefits an employer may be required to provide to its
employees.
4. An employer's right to solicit information regarding the salary history of
prospective employees.
5. Occupational licensing requirements that are more stringent than a state
requirement.
Certain local and state government regulations
The bill repeals the following:
1. The prohibition of the state and local governments from requiring any person
to waive the person's rights under state or federal labor laws as a condition of any
approval by the state or local government.
2. A provision under which neither the state nor a local government may enact
a statute or ordinance, adopt a policy or regulation, or impose a contract, zoning,
permitting, or licensing requirement, or any other condition, that would require any
person to accept any provision that is a subject of collective bargaining under state
labor laws or the federal National Labor Relations Act.
Exception to law enforcement officer citizenship requirement
Under current law, no person may be appointed as a deputy sheriff of any
county or police officer of a municipality unless that person is a citizen of the United
States. The bill allows the sheriff of a county or the appointing authority of a local
law enforcement agency to elect to authorize the appointment of noncitizens who are
in receipt of valid employment authorization from the federal Department of
Homeland Security as deputy sheriffs or police officers. The bill also prevents the

law enforcement standards board from preventing such a noncitizen from
participating in a law enforcement preparatory training program.
Local
government
civil
service
system
and
grievance
procedure
requirements
The bill modifies the requirements for any grievance system established by
local governmental units, including adding a requirement for any civil service
system or grievance procedure to include a just cause standard of review for
employee terminations. Under current law, a local governmental unit that did not
have a civil service system before June 29, 2011, must have established a grievance
system. In order to comply with the requirement to have established a grievance
system, a local governmental unit may establish either 1) a civil service system under
any provision authorized by law, to the greatest extent practicable, if no specific
provision for creation of a civil service system applies to the governmental unit; or
2) a grievance procedure as set forth in the statutes. Current law requires that any
civil service system established or grievance procedure created must contain a
grievance procedure that addresses employee terminations, employee discipline,
and workplace safety. The bill does not eliminate the requirement for these
provisions, but instead adds a requirement for a provision relating to a just cause
standard of review for employee terminations, including a refusal to renew a
teaching contract.
Current law also requires that if a local governmental unit creates a grievance
procedure, the procedure must contain certain elements, including a written
document specifying the process that a grievant and an employer must follow; a
hearing before an impartial hearing officer; and an appeal process in which the
highest level of appeal is the governing body of the local governmental unit. The bill
provides that the hearing officer must be from the Wisconsin Employment Relations
Commission, and adds two additional required elements in the grievance procedure:
1) a provision indicating the grievant is entitled to representation throughout the
grievance process; and 2) a provision indicating that the employer must bear all fees
and costs related to the grievance process, except the grievant's representational fees
and costs.
Consideration of climate change in certain local plans
Under current law, local governmental units are required or permitted to
prepare a variety of plans that guide the local governmental unit's response to future
events. Among these plans are comprehensive plans that assist in guiding a local
governmental unit's future physical development, community health plans that
assist in guiding a local governmental unit's response to community health
problems, and hazard mitigation plans that assist a local governmental unit in
preparing for disasters. Under the bill, if a local governmental unit prepares a
comprehensive plan, a community health plan, or a disaster mitigation plan, it must
consider the effects of climate change when preparing the plan.
Municipal records filings and filing requirements for certain annexations
The bill transfers the duty of filing certain municipal records from the secretary
of state to the secretary of administration and transfers certain records held by the
secretary of state to instead be held by DOA. 2015 Wisconsin Act 55 transferred
- 140 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
some, but not all, municipal records filing duties from the secretary of state to DOA.
The bill completes the transfer of these duties from the secretary of state to DOA for
all municipal filing categories.
The bill also replaces the term “plat” with the term “scale map” in certain filing
statutes to conform with existing statutory requirements for certain filings,
including petitions for incorporation and for annexation. The bill reduces the
number of copies that must be provided to DOA in certain circumstances from
multiple copies to just one copy. Finally, the bill removes the population requirement
for annexations initiated by electors and property owners to make uniform the filing
requirements for all annexations, regardless of county population size.
City of Superior local exposition district
Generally, under current law, a political subdivision may create a local
exposition district, either singly or with another political subdivision. A local
exposition district is a unit of government that is separate from the political
subdivision that creates it and has powers related to creating and operating an
exposition center.
The bill makes changes to the local exposition district law that apply only to
future districts created by the City of Superior (Superior exposition districts). Under
the bill, the primary uses of a Superior exposition district may include sporting
tournaments, and the structures included in the district may include those intended
for use by transient tourists. A Superior exposition district may impose and collect
a food and beverage tax and may impose and collect a room tax at a maximum rate
of 2 percent. The bill limits the maximum amount of bond proceeds that the district
may issue for development and construction of an exposition center to $20,300,000.
Before an enabling resolution adopted by the City of Superior to create a Superior
exposition district may take effect, it must be approved in a referendum by a majority
of the electors in the city voting on the resolution.
MMSD dredged material management facility
The bill allows a metropolitan sewerage commission for a sewerage district
including a first class city (currently only the city of Milwaukee) to finance and
construct a dredged material management facility.
Current law allows a metropolitan sewerage commission for a sewerage district
including a first class city to participate in certain shore protection projects, but the
provision does not apply to any project after January 1, 1992. The bill would modify
certain current law requirements, including the date restriction, to specifically allow
the metropolitan sewerage commission to construct projects, including a dredged
material management facility project, before January 1, 2032. Under the bill, the
metropolitan sewerage commission must pay for all costs of the project through its
capital budget and finance the project over a period of 35 years. The bill also provides
that the commission may reserve space in the dredged material management facility
for the disposal of sediment from flood management projects.

SENATE BILL 111
MARIJUANA
Legalizing recreational marijuana
Current law prohibits a person from manufacturing, distributing, or delivering
marijuana; possessing marijuana with the intent to manufacture, distribute, or
deliver it; possessing or attempting to possess marijuana; using drug paraphernalia;
or possessing drug paraphernalia with the intent to produce, distribute, or use a
controlled substance. The bill changes state law so that it allows recreational use of
marijuana. The bill does not affect federal law, which generally prohibits persons
from manufacturing, delivering, or possessing marijuana and applies to both
intrastate and interstate violations.
The bill changes state law to allow a Wisconsin resident who is at least 21 years
old, or a qualifying patient, to possess no more than two ounces of marijuana and to
allow a nonresident of Wisconsin who is at least 21 years old to possess no more than
one-quarter ounce of marijuana. Under the bill, generally, a qualifying patient is an
individual who has been diagnosed by a physician as having or undergoing a
debilitating medical condition or treatment and who is at least 18 years old.
Generally, under the bill, a person who possesses more than the maximum
amount he or she is allowed to possess, but not more than 28 grams of marijuana,
is subject to a civil forfeiture not to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 90
days or both. A person who possesses more than 28 grams of marijuana is guilty of
a Class B misdemeanor, except that, if the person takes action to hide the amount
of marijuana he or she has and the person has in place a security system to alert him
or her to the presence of law enforcement, a method of intimidation, or a trap that
could injure or kill a person approaching the area containing the marijuana, the
person is guilty of a Class I felony.
The bill also eliminates the prohibition on possessing or using drug
paraphernalia that relates to marijuana consumption.
Permits to produce, process, and sell recreational marijuana
The bill creates a process by which a person may obtain a permit to produce,
process, or sell marijuana for recreational use and pay an excise tax for the privilege
of doing business in this state. Sixty percent of the revenue collected from the tax
is deposited into a segregated fund called the “community reinvestment fund.”
Under the bill, the community reinvestment fund is used to provide grants to
underserved communities, sparsity aid to school districts, grants to promote health
equity, and grants to promote diversity and advance equity and inclusion.
The bill requires a person to obtain separate permits from DOR to produce,
process, distribute, or sell marijuana, and requires marijuana producers and
processors to obtain additional permits from DATCP. The requirements for
obtaining these permits differ based on whether the permit is issued by DOR or
DATCP but, in general, a person may not obtain such a permit if he or she is not a
state resident, is under the age of 21, or has been convicted of certain crimes. In
addition, a person may not operate under a DOR permit within 500 feet of a school,
playground, recreation facility, child care facility, public park, public transit facility,
or library and may not operate as a marijuana producer under a DATCP permit
- 142 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
within 500 feet of a school. A person who holds a permit from DOR must also comply
with certain operational requirements.
Under the bill, a permit applicant with 20 or more employees may not receive
a permit from DATCP or DOR unless the the applicant certifies that the applicant
has entered into a labor peace agreement with a labor organization. The labor peace
agreement prohibits the labor organization and its members from engaging in any
economic interference with persons doing business in this state, prohibits the
applicant from disrupting the efforts of the labor organization to communicate with
and to organize and represent the applicant's employees, and provides the labor
organization access to areas in which the employees work to discuss employment
rights and the terms and conditions of employment. Current law prohibits the state
and any local unit of government from requiring a labor peace agreement as a
condition for any regulatory approval. The permit requirements under the bill are
not subject to that prohibition.
The bill also requires DATCP and DOR to use a competitive scoring system to
determine which applicants are eligible to receive permits. Each department must
issue permits to the highest scoring applicants that it determines will best protect
the environment; provide stable, family-supporting jobs to local residents; ensure
worker and consumer safety; operate secure facilities; and uphold the laws of the
jurisdictions in which they operate. Each department may deny a permit to an
applicant with a low score.
Under the bill, a person who does not have a permit from DOR to sell marijuana
may not sell, distribute, or transfer marijuana or possess marijuana with the intent
to sell or distribute it. A person who violates this prohibition is guilty of a Class I
felony.
Also under the bill, a person who does not have a permit from DATCP may not
produce or process marijuana. A person who violates this prohibition, who fails to
pay the fee for a permit, or who violates any rules promulgated by DATCP relating
to producing or processing marijuana is subject to a criminal penalty of a fine of
between $100 and $500, imprisonment of up to six months, or both. In addition, a
person who is cultivating marijuana plants without a permit who possesses more
than six but not more than 12 marijuana plants that have reached the flowering
stage is subject to a civil forfeiture not to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment not to exceed
90 days or both. If the person possesses more than 12 plants that have reached the
flowering stage at one time, the person is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor, except
that, if the person takes action to hide the number of plants he or she has and the
person has in place a security system to alert him or her to the presence of law
enforcement, a method of intimidation, or a trap that could injure or kill a person
approaching the area containing the plants, the person is guilty of a Class I felony.
Penalties for sales to minors
The bill prohibits a DOR permittee from selling, distributing, or transferring
marijuana to a person who is under the age of 21 (minor) and from allowing a minor
to be on premises for which a permit is issued. If a permittee violates one of those
prohibitions, the permittee may be subject to a civil forfeiture of not more than $500
and the permit may be suspended for up to 30 days. If a person who does not have
- 143 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
a permit from DOR to sell marijuana sells, distributes, or transfers marijuana to a
minor, and the person is at least three years older than the minor, the person is guilty
of a Class H felony.
Under the bill, a minor who does any of the following is subject to a forfeiture
of not less than $250 nor more than $500: procures or attempts to procure marijuana
from a permittee; falsely represents his or her age to receive marijuana from a
permittee; knowingly possesses marijuana for recreational use; or knowingly enters
any premises for which a permit has been issued without being accompanied by his
or her parent, guardian, or spouse who is at least 21 years of age or at least 18 years
of age if a qualifying patient.
Medical marijuana registry
The bill requires DOR to create and maintain a medical marijuana registry
program whereby a person who is a qualifying patient may obtain a registry
identification card and purchase marijuana from a licensed retail establishment
without having to pay the sales or excise taxes imposed on that sale.
Registration for testing labs
The bill also requires DATCP to register entities as tetrahydrocannabinols
(THC)-testing laboratories. The laboratories must test marijuana for contaminants;
research findings on the use of medical marijuana; and provide training on safe and
efficient cultivation, harvesting, packaging, labeling, and distribution of marijuana,
security and inventory accountability, and research on medical marijuana.
Employment discrimination
Under the fair employment law, no employer or other person may engage in any
act of employment discrimination against any individual on the basis of the
individual's use or nonuse of lawful products off the employer's premises during
nonworking hours, subject to certain exceptions, one of which is if the use impairs
the individual's ability to undertake adequately the job-related responsibilities of
that individual's employment. The bill specifically defines marijuana as a lawful
product for purposes of the fair employment law, such that no person may engage in
any act of employment discrimination against an individual because of the
individual's use of marijuana off the employer's premises during nonworking hours,
subject to those exceptions.
Unemployment benefits
Under current law, an individual may be disqualified from receiving
unemployment insurance benefits if he or she is terminated because of misconduct
or substantial fault. The bill specifically provides that an employee's use of
marijuana off the employer's premises during nonworking hours does not constitute
misconduct or substantial fault unless termination for that use is permitted under
one of the exceptions under the fair employment law. Also under current law, DWD
must establish a program to test claimants who apply for UI benefits for the presence
of controlled substances, as defined under federal law. If a claimant tests positive
for a controlled substance, the claimant may be denied UI benefits, subject to certain
exceptions and limitations. The bill excludes THC for purposes of this testing
- 144 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
requirement. As such, under the bill, an individual who tests positive for THC may
not be denied UI benefits.
Drug testing for public assistance programs
The bill exempts THC, including marijuana, from drug testing for certain
public assistance programs. Currently, a participant in a community service job or
transitional placement under the Wisconsin Works program (W-2) or a recipient of
the FoodShare program, also known as the food stamp program, who is convicted of
possession, use, or distribution of a controlled substance must submit to a test for
controlled substances as a condition of continued eligibility. DHS is currently
required to request a waiver of federal Medicaid law to require drug screening and
testing as a condition of eligibility for the childless adult demonstration project in the
Medical Assistance program. Current law also requires DHS to promulgate rules to
develop and implement a drug screening, testing, and treatment policy for
able-bodied adults without dependents in the FoodShare employment and training
program. The bill exempts THC from all of those drug-testing requirements and
programs. In addition, because THC is not a controlled substance under state law
under the bill, the requirement under current law that DCF promulgate rules to
create a controlled substance abuse screening and testing requirement for
applicants for the work experience program for noncustodial parents under W-2 and
the Transform Milwaukee Jobs and Transitional Jobs programs does not include
THC.
Anatomical gifts
Unless federal law requires otherwise, the bill prohibits a hospital, physician,
organ procurement organization, or other person from determining the ultimate
recipient of an anatomical gift on the sole basis of a positive test for the use of
marijuana by a potential recipient.
MILITARY AFFAIRS
Urban search and rescue task force
Under current law, a regional structural collapse team contracted with the
Division of Emergency Management in the DMA is required to respond to structural
collapse incidents that meet criteria established by the division. Under current law,
a team may respond only to incidents of structural collapse. The bill changes the
team's designation from being a structural collapse team to an urban search and
rescue task force, as designated by the National Fire Protection Association and
Emergency Management Accreditation program standards. This change allows an
urban search and rescue task force to respond to a wider variety of incidents.
Under current law, when a regional structural collapse team responds to an
incident, the team must make a good faith effort to identify the party who is
responsible for the structural collapse and provide that information to the Division
of Emergency Management to seek reimbursement from that party. Any
reimbursement to a regional structural collapse team is limited to the amounts
collected by the Division of Emergency Management. Under the bill, this limitation
on reimbursement is removed, and DMA must reimburse within 60 days local
agencies that provided services as part of an urban search and rescue task force if
- 145 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
agencies apply for reimbursement within 45 days of the conclusion of the task force's
deployment. DMA may seek reimbursement for those services from any responsible
party.
The bill also allows DMA to reimburse a local agency for any increase in
contributions for duty disability premiums because an employee incurred an injury
while performing duties as a member of an urban search and rescue task force.
Statewide public safety interoperable communication system
Under current law, DMA provides staff support for the Interoperability Council
and is charged with overseeing the development and operation of a statewide public
safety interoperable communication system, which is a system that allows various
public safety entities, public works and transportation agencies, hospitals, and
volunteer emergency services agencies to communicate via radio or other
communication technology in an emergency.
The bill provides that DMA must also administer any current or future
statewide public safety interoperable communication system, and allows DMA to
enter into agreements for maintenance and support of, upgrades to, and
enhancements for the statewide public safety interoperable communication system.
Next Generation 911 geographic information systems grants
Under current law, DMA must issue grants to public safety answering points,
more commonly known as 911 call centers, for a variety of purposes related to
advanced 911 operations, known as Next Generation 911.
The bill creates an additional grant program, under which DMA must issue
grants to counties for the purpose of preparing geographic information systems data
to help enable Next Generation 911. Under the bill, the appropriate purposes and
eligibility criteria for the grants must be developed by DMA policy. Grant purposes
may include data preparation, data gathering, data creation, geographic
information system staffing, data preparation and collection contracts, and training,
if these purposes enable Next Generation 911, but may not include general overhead
or costs for providing emergency services or emergency services equipment. DMA
must coordinate with DOA in administering the grant program. DMA may not
award more than one such grant per county per fiscal year. Under the bill, this new
grant program sunsets on June 30, 2025.
State disaster assistance for hazard mitigation measures
Under current law, the state disaster assistance program requires DMA to
make payments to retail electric cooperatives, local governmental units, and
federally recognized American Indian tribes and bands in this state for damages and
costs incurred as the result of certain disasters that do not qualify for federal disaster
assistance funding. The bill authorizes state disaster assistance payments to
include costs incurred for approved hazard mitigation measures after a disaster.
Truax Field electrical micro grid
The bill directs DMA to conduct a study in fiscal year 2022-23 to determine
whether it would be feasible to build an electrical micro grid system at Truax Field.
DMA may spend $64,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 to conduct such a study. If, based

Emergency management assistance compact
The bill converts two appropriations for services provided under the emergency
management assistance compact from annual appropriations to continuing
appropriations. Under current law, the emergency management assistance compact
is an agreement between the state of Wisconsin and all other states that have entered
into the compact to provide for mutual assistance among the states in managing any
emergency or disaster that is declared by the governor of the affected state.
Lapses to the general fund
The bill lapses $130,094 to the general fund from three continuing
appropriations to DMA related to emergency management.
NATURAL RESOURCES
GENERAL NATURAL RESOURCES
Extending the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship 2000 program
Current law authorizes the state to incur public debt for certain conservation
activities under the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship 2000 program,
which is administered by DNR. The state may incur this debt to acquire land for the
state for conservation purposes and for property development activities and may
award grants to local governments and nonprofit organizations to acquire land for
these purposes. Current law establishes the amounts that DNR may obligate in each
fiscal year through fiscal year 2021-22 for expenditure under each of five
subprograms of the stewardship program.
The bill reauthorizes the stewardship program until fiscal year 2031-32 and
sets at $70,000,000 the amount that DNR may obligate under the program in each
fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2022-23 and ending in fiscal year 2031-32. The
bill increases to $1,788,850,000 the total amount of public debt that the state may
contract under the program.
Beginning in fiscal year 2022-23 the bill increases the amount DNR may
obligate in each fiscal year under the land acquisition subprogram from $21,000,000
to $26,000,000 until fiscal year 2025-26, then decreases that amount to $25,000,000
in each fiscal year until 2031-32. Of that total amount, the bill increases from
$9,000,000 to $10,000,000 the amount that DNR may obligate for DNR land
acquisitions in each fiscal year. The bill requires DNR to set aside $1,000,000 in each
fiscal year in fiscal years 2022-23 to 2025-26 to acquire land from the board of
commissioners of public lands and to provide counties with 50 percent matching
grants to acquire land from BCPL. The bill increases from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000
the amount in each fiscal year that must be set aside for grants awarded to nonprofit
conservation organizations (NCO).
The bill maintains the following amounts that DNR must set aside in each fiscal
year for the following purposes under the land acquisition subprogram: $5,000,000
for the county forest grant program, $1,000,000 for the Ice Age Trail, and $2,000,000
to match federal Forest Legacy Program grants. The bill adds property development

SENATE BILL 111
and maintenance to the activities for which stewardship moneys may be obligated
for the Ice Age Trail and property development to the activities for which
stewardship moneys may be obligated under the county forest grant program. In
addition, the bill provides that the Ice Age Trail moneys may also be obligated for 50
percent matching grants to NCOs and local governments to acquire, develop, and
maintain Ice Age Trail properties.
Beginning in fiscal year 2022-23 the bill increases from $9,750,000 to
$41,000,000 the amount in each fiscal year that DNR may obligate under the
property development and local assistance subprogram, then increases this amount
to $42,000,000 in each fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2026-27 and ending with
fiscal year 2031-32. Of that total amount, the bill increases from $3,250,000 to
$22,000,000 the amount DNR must obligate in each fiscal year under current law for
DNR property development beginning in fiscal year 2022-23, then increases this
amount to $23,000,000 in each fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2026-27 and
ending with fiscal year 2031-32. The bill increases from $6,000,000 to $18,000,000
the amount that DNR may obligate in each fiscal year for local assistance grants for
property development. The bill requires DNR to set aside $1,000,000 in each fiscal
year for grants to NCOs and friends groups for property development projects on
DNR properties, with a limit of $80,000 in grants per DNR property in each fiscal
year. Current law limits the amount that may be encumbered on those grants to
$250,000 each fiscal year and $20,000 per DNR property. The bill eliminates
all-terrain vehicle (ATV), utility terrain vehicle (UTV), and snowmobile projects as
one of the purposes for which moneys may be obligated under the property
development and local assistance subprogram.
Beginning in fiscal year 2022-23 the bill increases from $2,500,000 to
$3,000,000 the amount in each fiscal year that DNR may obligate under the
recreational boating aids subprogram.
Under the bill, if for fiscal years 2022-23, 2024-25, 2026-27, 2028-29, and
2030-31 DNR does not obligate the full amount it is authorized to obligate under the
land acquisition, property development and local assistance, and recreational
boating aids subprograms, DNR may obligate the unobligated amount in the next
fiscal year for the purpose for which it was authorized. Then, if for fiscal years
2023-24, 2025-26, 2027-28, 2029-30, and 2031-32 DNR does not obligate the full
amount it is authorized to obligate under those subprograms, plus any unobligated
amount from the prior fiscal year, DNR may obligate those unobligated amounts in
any fiscal year through 2031-32, but only for property development of DNR lands or
on conservation easements adjacent to DNR lands.
Under current law, if DNR does not obligate the full amount it is authorized to
obligate in a fiscal year for grants to NCOs, it may obligate the unobligated amount
in the next fiscal year but only for county forest grants. Under the bill, if DNR does
not obligate the full amount it is authorized to obligate for grants to NCOs for any
of the fiscal years 2022-23, 2024-25, 2026-27, 2028-29, and 2030-31, it may
obligate the unobligated amount in the next fiscal year but only for local assistance
grants. If any of that unobligated amount remains after that second year, DNR may

SENATE BILL 111
obligate it in any fiscal year through 2031-32, but only for property development of
DNR lands or on conservation easements adjacent to DNR lands.
Under current law, generally, for any project or activity for which more than
$250,000 of stewardship moneys are proposed to be obligated, DNR must obtain
written approval for the project or activity from the joint committee on finance. The
bill increases this threshold to $500,000. The bill also eliminates the requirement
that DNR obtain written approval for obligating stewardship moneys for any land
acquisition located north of STH 64.
Under current law, any person receiving a stewardship grant to acquire land
on former managed forest land must allow public access to the land for nature-based
outdoor activities, except that a person may prohibit public access for one or more
nature-based outdoor activities if the Natural Resources Board determines the
prohibition is necessary in order to protect public safety, protect a unique animal or
plant community, or accommodate usership patterns. The bill eliminates a current
law provision under which the exception with respect to accommodating usership
patterns does not apply for land acquired after the effective date of the bill that is not
for state trails or the Ice Age Trail.
The bill eliminates a limitation under current law that prohibits more than
one-third of the amount set aside for DNR's acquisition of land from being obligated
to acquire land in fee simple.
Finally, the bill eliminates a requirement under current law that DNR provide
a written directory of all stewardship land that is open for public access.
Pierce County islands wildlife restoration
The bill creates a continuing appropriation from the conservation fund to DNR
for restoration projects in the Pierce County islands wildlife area.
Terrestrial invasive species prevention
The bill creates an annual appropriation from the conservation fund to DNR for
grants to cooperative invasive species management areas for surveying, monitoring,
and controlling terrestrial invasive species.
Law enforcement technology
Under current law, DNR is appropriated scheduled amounts from the general
fund, the environmental fund, and the conservation fund for acquiring law
enforcement radios. Under the bill, each appropriation is made for the purpose of
acquiring law enforcement technology.
Sheboygan Marsh dam funding
The bill authorizes DNR to award a $1,000,000 grant to Sheboygan county to
remove and reconstruct a dam on the Sheboygan River at the Sheboygan Marsh.
MacKenzie environmental center
Under current law, moneys are appropriated to the MacKenzie environmental
center biennially from the general fund (MacKenzie appropriation). A biennial
appropriation is expendable only for the biennium for which made. Current law
allows DNR to charge fees to participants in a DNR environmental education
program to cover the costs of the program, and requires such fees collected by DNR
- 149 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

SENATE BILL 111
for the use of the MacKenzie environmental center to be deposited in the general
fund and credited to the MacKenzie appropriation.
The bill changes the MacKenzie appropriation to a continuing appropriation,
which is an appropriation that is expendable until fully depleted or repealed by
subsequent action of the legislature. Under the bill, the MacKenzie appropriation
is still funded by all moneys received from fees collected for the use of the MacKenzie
environmental center.
Funding from Indian gaming receipts
Current law requires DOA to transfer portions of Indian gaming receipts to
certain DNR appropriations annually. The bill eliminates the requirement to
transfer these amounts to appropriations that fund elk management and the
reintroduction of whooping cranes, eliminates those appropriations, and replaces
them with appropriations funded from the conservation fund. The bill also
eliminates the requirement to transfer these amounts to an appropriation that funds
snowmobile law enforcement operations and safety training and fatality reporting
and eliminates that appropriation. The bill makes no change to an appropriation
funding the same purposes from the conservation fund.
NAVIGABLE WATERS AND WETLANDS
Great Lakes erosion control loan program
The bill requires DNR to administer a revolving loan program to assist
municipalities and owners of homes located on the shore of Lake Michigan or Lake
Superior where the structural integrity of municipal buildings or homes is
threatened by erosion of the shoreline. Under the bill, moneys for the program are
provided from the environmental fund. The bill requires DNR to promulgate rules
to administer the program, including eligibility requirements and income
limitations, and authorizes DNR to promulgate emergency rules for the period before
permanent rules take effect.
Hydrologic restoration
Under current law, DNR may issue a general permit to a person wishing to
proceed with a wetland restoration activity sponsored by a federal agency. The bill
requires DNR to issue a general permit that authorizes wetland, stream, and
floodplain restoration and management activities that will result in a net
improvement in hydrologic connections, conditions, and functions.
The general permit issued under the bill is valid for a period of five years, except
that an activity that DNR determines is authorized by a general permit remains
authorized under the permit until the activity is completed. The general permit
issued under the bill for an activity is in lieu of any permit or approval that would
otherwise be required for that activity under state navigable water law, water
quality law, or wetland law. The bill requires DNR to apply several conditions to the
new general permit and authorizes DNR to require an individual seeking approval
to conduct activities under the general permit to apply for an individual permit under
certain circumstances.

Bonding for dam safety projects
Under current law, the state may contract up to $29,500,000 in public debt to
provide financial assistance to counties, cities, villages, towns, and public inland
lake protection and rehabilitation districts for dam safety projects. The bill increases
the bonding authority for these projects by $6,000,000.
PARKS, FORESTRY, AND RECREATION
Free admission to state parks for 4th graders
Under current law, no person may operate a vehicle in any state park or in
certain other recreational areas on state land unless the vehicle displays a vehicle
admission receipt. The bill requires DNR to waive the fee for an annual vehicle
admission receipt issued to the parent or guardian of a student receiving a 4th grade
level of instruction. A parent or guardian of a qualifying pupil may apply to DNR for
the waiver by submitting required certifications. A parent or guardian may receive
the waiver only once in his or her lifetime and DNR may issue a waiver only once for
a household. The bill also requires DNR to provide on its website an activity guide
for state parks, forests, recreation areas, and trails.
Recreational vehicle online registration
Under current law, no person may operate an ATV, UTV, or snowmobile and no
owner may give permission for such operation unless the ATV, UTV, or snowmobile
is registered with DNR. Current law allows DNR to appoint persons who are not
DNR employees as agents to issue, transfer, or renew registration documents for
ATVs, UTVs, and snowmobiles and to issue reprints of those documents. Current
law provides that an agent who accepts an application and required fees for ATV,
UTV, or snowmobile registration documents must issue to the applicant a temporary
operating receipt or some or all of the registration documents at the time the
application is submitted, and issue any remaining registration documents directly
from DNR at a later date. The bill allows an agent to accept an application by
facilitating an online application for registration documents.
Current law requires every ATV, UTV, or snowmobile manufacturer, dealer,
distributor, or renter to register with DNR and apply to DNR for, respectively, a
commercial ATV and UTV or commercial snowmobile certificate. The bill allows
these applications to be completed through an online application system.
Under current law, no person may operate an off-highway motorcycle (OHM)
off the highways and no owner may give permission for such operation unless the
OHM is registered with DNR. Current law requires an OHM dealer to register with
DNR and apply to obtain a commercial OHM certificate. Current law requires an
OHM dealer to require an OHM buyer to pay the applicable registration fee and
complete an application for registration of an OHM. Current law requires an OHM
dealer to affix a decal issued by DNR to a removable plate or sign on an OHM offered
for sale. If a commercial OHM certificate or decal is lost or destroyed, current law
- 151 -

SENATE BILL 111
allows the holder to apply to DNR for a duplicate. The bill allows for all of these
applications to be completed through an online application system.
Current law requires an OHM dealer to provide an OHM buyer with a
temporary operating receipt, and to mail or deliver the application and fee to DNR
no later than seven days after the date of the sale. If ownership of an unregistered
OHM is transferred by a person other than an OHM dealer, current law requires the
buyer or transferee to complete an application for registration. If ownership of a
registered OHM is transferred, current law requires the transferee to complete an
application for transfer on a DNR form and mail or deliver the form to DNR within
10 days after the date of transfer. The bill allows for all of these applications to be
completed through an online application system.
Boating enforcement aids
Under current law, a county or municipality that operates a water safety patrol
unit is eligible for an aid payment that is calculated based on the costs that are
directly attributable to the operation and maintenance of the water safety patrol
unit. Aid payments are currently limited to 75 percent of these costs. The bill
increases the aid payment limit to 80 percent of costs.
Vehicle registration and trail use fee retention
Off-highway motorcycle administration
Under current law, moneys received from the sale of nonresident trail passes
for OHM operation are not credited to a specific appropriation but are deposited in
the conservation fund. Under the bill, all moneys received from the sale of
nonresident trail passes for OHM operation will continue to be deposited in the
conservation fund but will be credited to the appropriation account that provides
DNR moneys to administer the OHM program.
Snowmobile aids for trail maps and grooming tracker
Under current law, state aid is available for snowmobile trail development,
maintenance, rehabilitation, and signage. The bill expands the purposes for which
this state aid may be used to include payment of a qualified vendor to provide
real-time tracking of snowmobile trail grooming through DNR's online trail
grooming reporting system (commonly known as the Snowmobile Automated
Reporting System, or SNARS) and to develop and maintain an accurate, statewide
geographic information system map of snowmobile trails.
Withdrawal of county forest lands for sale to American Indian tribes
Under current law, a county board may designate certain land as a county forest
and enter that designation by application to DNR. The county must manage the
county forest for recreational use, timber harvesting, and other specified purposes
and DNR must make payment to the county based on the acreage of county forest the
county maintains. A county may subsequently apply to DNR to withdraw the entry
of land as a county forest and sell the land. If the sale is to be to a person other than
the state or a local unit of government, DNR must establish a minimum value for the
land to be withdrawn. Under the bill, county forest that is withdrawn to be sold to
an American Indian tribe or band is also excluded from the requirement that DNR
establish the minimum value of the land to be withdrawn.

Emergency rule making for the urban forestry grant program
Under current law, DNR administers an urban forestry grant program to
provide grants to municipalities and NCOs to undertake various tree projects in
urban areas. The bill allows DNR to promulgate emergency rules to incorporate new
priorities and categories of grants and recipients and to increase the minimum
amount of urban forestry grants, without finding that an emergency exists or
providing evidence that promulgating an emergency rule is necessary to preserve
public peace, health, safety, or welfare.
FISH, GAME, AND WILDLIFE
Use of ID card to establish residency for DNR approvals
Under current law, DNR issues approvals that authorize the holder of the
approval to engage in certain activities, such as hunting wild animals. In general,
residents of the state are issued a different approval, for a lower fee, than
nonresidents of the state. Current law provides that a resident is anyone who has
maintained a permanent abode in the state for at least 30 days prior to applying for
an approval, which must be established by demonstrating domiciliary intent. Under
current law, evidence of domiciliary intent includes voting, paying personal income
taxes, or obtaining a driver's license at a location in the state. The bill provides that
domiciliary intent may also be satisfied by obtaining an identification card issued by
DOT. Under current law, an identification card issued by DOT is required to contain
the same information that is required for an operator's license, including the license
holder's name, address, and photograph, but must be clearly labeled as providing
only identification of the card's holder.
Waterfowl stamp fee and uses
Under current law generally, no person may hunt waterfowl unless he or she
is issued a conservation patron license, a hunting license authorizing the hunting of
small game and a waterfowl hunting stamp, or a sports license and a waterfowl
hunting stamp. The bill raises the fee for a waterfowl hunting stamp from $6.75 to
$11.75. Current law requires DNR to spend 67 percent of the money received from
fees for waterfowl hunting stamps for developing, managing, preserving, restoring,
and maintaining wetland habitat and for producing waterfowl and ecologically
related species of wildlife. Under the bill, DNR may also provide those moneys to
NCOs and local units of government for developing and restoring wetland habitat.
Aquatic plant management
Under current law, without a valid aquatic plant management permit issued
by DNR, no person may introduce nonnative aquatic plants into waters of this state,
manually remove aquatic plants from navigable waters, or control aquatic plants in
waters of this state by the use of chemicals or by introducing biological agents, by
using a process that involves dewatering, desiccation, burning, or freezing, or by
using mechanical means. Under current law, DNR establishes fees for aquatic plant
management permits, and those fees are deposited into a general fund appropriation
used for facilities, materials, or services provided by DNR relating to its
environmental quality functions and to the management of the state's water

used solely for the aquatic plant management permit program.
Deer carcass disposal sites
The bill requires DNR to provide financial assistance to local governments,
individuals, businesses, and conservation organizations to purchase large metal
containers for the disposal of deer carcasses.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Broadband line extension grants
The bill requires PSC to make grants to residents of properties that are not
served by a broadband service provider to assist in paying the customer costs
associated with line extension necessary to connect broadband service to the
properties. The maximum amount of a broadband line extension grant is $4,000.
The bill also requires PSC to give priority to primary residences and to establish
other criteria for awarding the grants.
Broadband planning grants
The bill requires PSC to make grants to cities, villages, towns, counties, school
districts,
tribal
governments,
regional
planning
commissions,
nonprofit
organizations, and local economic development councils for the following: 1)
broadband planning; 2) feasibility engineering related to broadband infrastructure
construction; 3) broadband adoption planning; and 4) digital inclusion activities.
The maximum amount of a broadband planning grant is $50,000. The bill also
requires PSC to provide training, technical assistance, and information on
broadband infrastructure construction, broadband adoption, and digital inclusion.
Creating an appropriation for the state broadband office
The bill creates an appropriation to fund the operations of the state broadband
office within PSC. Currently, the state broadband office enhances the availability,
adoption, and use of broadband across the state.
Funding for broadband expansion grant program
The bill appropriates general purpose revenue for the broadband expansion
grant program administered by PSC.
Eligibility for broadband expansion grants
The bill makes a city, village, town, or county (political subdivision) eligible to
apply for a broadband expansion grant from PSC if the political subdivision is
underserved or located in an unserved area. Under current law, underserved means
served by fewer than two broadband service providers, and an unserved area is an
area not served by an Internet service provider that meets certain standards for the
service provided and for upload and download speeds. Under current law, a political
subdivision is only eligible to apply for a broadband expansion grant if its application
is submitted in partnership with a nonprofit organization or a telecommunications
utility.
Broadband mapping
Under the bill, PSC must require Internet service providers, annually by April
1, to disclose to PSC the properties they serve, the average minimum download and

SENATE BILL 111
upload speeds at which they provide Internet service to those properties, and a
description of their existing service areas. The bill requires PSC to use this
information to conduct broadband mapping and facilitate the deployment of
broadband infrastructure and access to broadband service. The bill adds an
exception to the public records law by requiring PSC to withhold from public
inspection any information disclosed by Internet service providers that would aid a
competitor in competing with that provider if PSC determines that public disclosure
is not necessary to conduct broadband mapping or facilitate the deployment of
broadband infrastructure and access to broadband service.
Allowing electric providers to use easements for broadband service
The bill allows electric providers to use easements that they hold to do the
following: 1) install or maintain broadband infrastructure; and 2) lease or provide
excess capacity in broadband infrastructure to a supplier of broadband services.
Under the bill, “electric provider” includes both electric public utilities and electric
cooperatives. The bill also provides that except for an easement that expressly
prohibits, by its terms, using the easement for those purposes, the terms or
conditions of an easement held by an electric provider that inhibit it from using the
easement for those purposes do not apply.
Before an electric provider uses an easement for the purposes allowed under the
bill, it must provide notice to the owner of the property subject to the easement. After
providing notice, an electric provider may record a memorandum including certain
information in the office of the register of deeds of the county where the property
subject to the easement is located. The bill also establishes requirements for actions
brought by a property owner against an electric provider, subsidiary of an electric
provider, or supplier of broadband services because of the electric provider's use of
an easement for a purpose allowed by the bill, and the bill prohibits owners from
bringing such actions if the bill's requirements are not satisfied.
Focus on Energy funding
The bill makes changes to the funding of statewide energy efficiency and
renewable resources programs, known as Focus on Energy, that current law requires
investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities to fund. Under the bill, PSC must
require those utilities to spend 2.4 percent of their annual operating revenues
derived from retail sales to fund Focus on Energy and related programs. Under
current law, the amount those utilities must spend is 1.2 percent of their annual
operating revenues from retail sales.
Focus on Energy initiatives for low-income households
The bill requires statewide energy efficiency and renewable resources
programs, known as Focus on Energy, to include programs that promote energy
efficiency and renewable energy measures for low-income households and that
address the energy needs and decrease the energy burden of low-income households.
Current law requires investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities to fund Focus
on Energy and related programs.

Social cost of carbon
The bill requires PSC to consider the social cost of carbon in determining
whether to issue certificates required to construct large electric generating facilities
or high-voltage transmission lines or to engage in certain other public utility
projects. The bill defines “social cost of carbon” as a measure of the economic harms
and other impacts expressed in dollars that result from emitting one ton of carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere. The bill requires PSC to evaluate and set the social cost
of carbon emissions as a dollar amount per ton of carbon dioxide emitted into the
atmosphere. The bill requires PSC to evaluate and adjust as necessary that dollar
amount every two years. In making the evaluations, PSC must use integrated
assessment models and consider appropriate discount rates. The bill requires any
adjustment by PSC to be consistent with the international consensus on the social
cost of carbon. The bill requires PSC to consult with DNR in making the evaluations.
The bill also requires that, beginning no later than December 31, 2021, PSC
must submit a report every odd-numbered year to the legislature describing PSC's
evaluation of the social cost of carbon. If PSC adjusts the previously set dollar
amount, the report must specify the social cost of carbon as adjusted by PSC.
Nonutility-owned electric vehicle charging stations
The bill exempts from regulation as a public utility a person who supplies
electricity through an electric vehicle charging station to users' electric vehicles.
Under current law, a person who directly or indirectly provides electricity to the
public is regulated as a public utility by PSC.
Compensation for participants in PSC proceedings
The bill requires PSC to require investor-owned electric and natural gas public
utilities to provide funding to a “consumer advocate,” which is defined as the Citizens
Utility Board. All actions by the consumer advocate that are funded under the bill
must be directed toward a duty to represent and protect the interests of residential,
small commercial, and small industrial energy customers of the state. The bill
requires the consumer advocate to annually file with PSC a budget, which PSC must
approve if it is consistent with the foregoing duty and covers reasonable annual costs.
The bill allows PSC to approve the budget with conditions and modifications that
PSC determines are necessary.
The bill limits the total annual funding for the consumer advocate to a
maximum of $900,000. Each energy utility's share of that total is based on an
individual energy utility's proportionate share of residential, small commercial, and
small industrial customer meters in the state. The bill requires PSC to ensure in
rate-making orders that energy utilities recover the funding from their customers.
The bill also limits the amount that PSC may compensate the consumer for
participating in PSC proceedings to $100,000 annually. Under current law, if certain
requirements are satisfied, PSC is allowed to compensate participants in
proceedings who are not public utilities.
The bill also requires PSC to reserve $50,000 annually to compensate
equity-focused participants who review economic and environmental issues
impacting low-income populations.

Residential energy improvement program
The bill authorizes PSC to establish and implement a program under which a
public utility may finance energy improvements at a specific dwelling for a
residential customer. Under the bill, a public utility may recover the costs of such
an energy improvement through a surcharge periodically placed on the customer's
account.
Model ordinance and marketing related to efficiency and renewable
resource improvements
Under current law, a political subdivision may make a loan to, or enter into a
repayment agreement with, an owner or lessee of a premises for installing certain
energy or water efficiency improvements or renewable resource improvements
(known as the property assessed clean energy or PACE program). The bill requires
PSC to develop and make available a model ordinance that addresses political
subdivisions making loans or entering into agreements under the PACE program for
installing certain energy or water efficiency improvements or renewable resource
improvements.
The bill also authorizes activities advertising the availability of PACE program
loans to be conducted as part of Focus on Energy programs. Under current law, Focus
on Energy programs are a set of statewide energy efficiency and renewable resources
programs that investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities are required to fund.
Energy utility innovative technology programs
The bill allows investor-owned energy utilities to establish innovative
technology programs. Under the bill, a program must first be approved by PSC, and
an energy utility may pay for the program by charging its customers or by another
method approved by PSC. The bill also requires PSC to promulgate rules and
establish goals, priorities, and measurable targets related to these programs.
Penalties for gas pipeline safety violations
The bill increases the maximum penalties for persons who fail to operate and
maintain gas production, transmission, and distribution facilities in a reasonably
adequate and safe manner. Current law requires gas production, transmission, and
distribution facilities to be operated and maintained in a reasonably adequate and
safe manner and authorizes PSC to issue orders and rules to promote safety of those
facilities. Under current law, a person who violates one of these PSC orders or rules
or fails to operate and maintain gas production, transmission, and distribution
facilities in a reasonably adequate and safe manner is subject to a forfeiture of up
$25,000 per day and a total forfeiture of up to $500,000 for a single persisting
violation. Under the bill, a violator is subject to a forfeiture of up to $200,000 per day
and a total forfeiture of up to $2,000,000 for a single persisting violation.
Securitization of retiring power plants
Under current law, an energy utility is allowed to apply to PSC for an order
allowing the utility to finance the costs of the following activities by issuing bonds:
1) the construction, installation, or otherwise putting into place of environmental
control equipment in connection with a plant that, before March 30, 2004, has been
used to provide service to customers; and 2) the retiring of any existing plant, facility,

SENATE BILL 111
or other property to reduce, control, or eliminate environmental pollution in
accordance with federal or state law. Current law defines these activities as
“environmental control activities.” If approved by PSC, the bonds, which are referred
to as “environmental trust bonds,” are secured by revenues arising from charges paid
by an energy utility's customers for the utility to recover the cost of the activities, as
well as the cost of financing the bonds.
The bill adds the retiring of any existing electric generating facility fueled by
nonrenewable combustible energy resources as an environmental control activity,
the costs of which may be financed by an environmental trust bond.
High-voltage transmission line fees
The bill requires PSC to administer annual impact and onetime environmental
impact fees paid under current law by persons authorized by PSC to operate
high-voltage transmission lines. Under current law, DOA administers the fees.
RETIREMENT AND GROUP INSURANCE
DOMESTIC PARTNERS
Benefits for domestic partners
2017 Wisconsin Act 59, the 2017 biennial budget act, removed from the statutes
certain benefits provided to domestic partners of public employees who receive
benefits through the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS), the Group Insurance
Board (GIB), and the Deferred Compensation Program. The bill reestablishes those
benefits.
Specifically, Act 59 did all of the following: 1) for purposes of WRS, limited
domestic partners to only those individuals who submitted an affidavit of domestic
partnership to ETF before January 1, 2018; 2) prohibited GIB from covering an
eligible employee's domestic partner or stepchild under a domestic partnership in a
group health insurance plan offered by GIB; 3) eliminated the option for a surviving
domestic partner to purchase health insurance coverage under a group health
insurance plan offered by GIB; and 4) for deaths occurring on or after January 1,
2018, provided that a surviving domestic partner is not a default beneficiary for
purposes of a deferred compensation plan and is not eligible to receive duty disability
survivorship benefits. The bill reverses, prospectively, those changes to those
benefits.
WISCONSIN RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Rehired teacher annuitants in the Wisconsin Retirement System
Under current law, certain people who receive a retirement or disability
annuity from WRS and who are hired by an employer that participates in WRS must
suspend that annuity and may not receive a WRS annuity payment until the person
is no longer in a WRS-covered position. This suspension applies to a person who 1)
has reached his or her normal retirement date; 2) is appointed to a position with a
WRS-participating employer or provides employee services as a contractor to a
WRS-participating employer; and 3) is expected to work at least two-thirds of what
is considered full-time employment by ETF.
The bill creates an exception to this suspension if 1) the person retired from
WRS-covered employment as a teacher; 2) at least 15 days have elapsed from the
- 158 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
date the person left WRS-covered employment with a school district; 3) the person
is hired as a teacher; 4) at the time the person initially retires from a school district,
the person does not have an agreement with any school district to return to
employment as a teacher or a contractor providing employee services as a teacher;
and 5) the person elects to not become a participating employee at the time the person
is rehired or enters into a contract after retirement. In other words, the bill allows
a WRS teacher annuitant who is either hired as a teacher or provides employee
services as a teacher with a school district that is a participating employer to return
to work as a teacher and elect to not become a participating employee for purposes
of WRS and instead continue to receive his or her annuity.
HEALTH INSURANCE
Waiting period for state employees
Under current law, most state employees, other than limited-term employees,
may become covered under the state group health insurance plan on the first day of
the first month after becoming employed with the state by filing an election within
30 days of being hired. However, most state employees are ineligible for an employer
contribution towards the premiums for the health insurance for the first three
months of employment. The bill changes the date to the first day of the second month
for most state employees other than limited-term appointments hired on or after the
effective date of the bill.
Actuarial study of mandatory participation by school districts
The bill requires GIB to conduct a study of the potential costs and savings to
school districts and current participants in group health insurance plans offered by
GIB of mandating participation by all school districts in this state in a group health
insurance plan offered by GIB. The bill also requires GIB to submit a written report
of the study to the governor and JCF by June 30, 2022.
DISABILITY PLANS
Oversight of group disability benefit insurance plans
Under current law, GIB oversees the group income continuation insurance plan
and the group long-term disability insurance (LTDI) plan. The bill transfers
oversight of those plans to the Employee Trust Funds Board (ETFB). The bill
provides explicit statutory authority for ETFB to establish the LTDI plan.
EMPLOYEE TRUST FUNDS BOARDS
Board consolidation
Under current law, ETF is under the direction and supervision of ETFB, which
has 11 appointed or elected members, serving four-year terms, and two members
appointed by virtue of another office each holds (ex officio members). Eight of the
board members are appointed by two boards attached to ETF, four members from the
Wisconsin Retirement Board (WRB) and four members from the Teachers
Retirement Board (TRB).
ETFB sets policy for ETF; appoints the secretary of employee trust funds;
approves tables used for computing benefits, contribution rates, and actuarial
assumptions; authorizes all annuities except for disability; approves or rejects ETF

administrative rules; and oversees the benefit programs for state and local
government employees, except the group insurance and deferred compensation
programs.
Under current law, WRB advises ETFB on matters relating to retirement;
approves or rejects administrative rules; authorizes or terminates disability benefits
for WRS members who aren't teachers; and hears appeals of disability rulings. WRB
appoints one member to the separate State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB).
All members of WRB are ex officio members or appointed by the governor.
Also under current law, TRB advises ETFB on retirement and other benefit
matters involving teachers at public schools, technical schools, community colleges,
and state universities; acts on administrative rules; authorizes or terminates
teacher disability benefits; and hears disability benefit appeals. Nine members of
TRB are elected, and four are appointed by the governor.
The bill eliminates WRB and TRB and transfers their property, contracts,
orders, and pending matters to ETFB on the effective date of the bill. The bill also
transfers the duties of WRB and TRB to ETFB. Between the effective date of the bill
and April 30, 2026, all current members of ETFB will transition off ETFB at a rate
of two to three members per year, and they will be replaced by new members. The
membership of ETFB will remain 13, with a mix of ex officio, elected, and appointed
members.
State of Wisconsin Investment Board and membership
Under the bill, the secretary of employee trust funds or his or her designee and
one WRS participant appointed by ETFB are members of SWIB. Under current law,
two WRS participants are members of SWIB, one of which is a teacher participant
appointed by TRB and the other is a participant appointed by WRB who is not a
teacher.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES
Internal auditor
The bill creates the Office of Internal Audit attached to ETF. Under the bill, the
office plans and conducts audits of activities and programs administered by ETF,
among other responsibilities, while following policies, principles, and directives
established by ETFB.
The bill requires ETFB to appoint an internal auditor and internal audit staff
within the classified service who report directly to ETFB. Currently, the internal
auditor for ETF reports to the secretary of employee trust funds, and internal audit
staff report to the internal auditor.
Trust funds earnings allocations
Under current law, investment gains and losses of the core and variable
retirement investment trust funds are distributed in a ratio of each participating
account's average daily balance to the total average daily balance of all participating
accounts. SWIB invests assets of the core and variable investment trust funds,
which are commingled under current law, but all activity is not recorded on a daily
basis for the separate participating accounts. SWIB provides certified annual
earnings reports for the core and variable trust funds.

The bill provides that ETF may distribute the earnings to each participating
account by calculating a simple average balance, which uses beginning and
end-of-year balances for each participating account, and comparing that average
balance to the total average balance of all participating accounts.
Gifts and grants appropriation
The bill creates a continuing appropriation for all gifts, grants, and bequests
received by ETF. The bill also provides that such a gift, grant, or bequest is not
subject to JCF approval.
SAFETY AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
BUILDINGS AND SAFETY
Use of vapor products in indoor locations
The bill specifies that the general prohibition under current law against
smoking in indoor locations includes inhaling or exhaling vapor from a “vapor
product.” Under the bill, a “vapor product” is a noncombustible product that
produces vapor or aerosol for inhalation from the application of a heating element
to a liquid or other substance. The prohibition applies to vapor products regardless
of whether they contain nicotine.
Construction contractor registration
The bill requires most persons who hold themselves out or act as a construction
contractor to be registered by DSPS. DSPS may directly assess a forfeiture by
issuing an order against any person who fails to register as required under the bill.
The registration requirement does not apply to a person who engages in construction
on his or her own property, to a state agency or local governmental unit, or to a person
who engages in construction in the course of his or her employment by a state agency
or local governmental unit.
Private on-site wastewater treatment system grants
The bill extends the grant program aiding certain persons and businesses
served by failing private on-site wastewater treatment systems (POWTS), which are
commonly known as septic tanks. Under current law, the program is repealed
effective June 30, 2021. In addition, under the bill, a failing POWTS installed at least
33 years ago is eligible to receive a grant. Current law authorizes grants only for
failing POWTS that were installed before July 1, 1978.
PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE
Licensure of dental therapists
Under current law, dentists and dental hygienists are licensed by the Dentistry
Examining Board to practice dentistry and dental hygiene, respectively. The bill
provides for the licensure of a third type of dental practitioner: dental therapists.
Under the bill, the examining board must grant a dental therapist license to an
individual who satisfies certain criteria, including completion of a dental therapy
program and passage of required examinations. The bill specifies the settings in
which a dental therapist may practice dental therapy.
Dental therapists may provide dental therapy services only under the general
supervision of a dentist with whom the dental therapist has a collaborative
- 161 -

SENATE BILL 111
management agreement that addresses various aspects of the dental therapist's
practice. The supervising dentist must give consent to supervise the dental therapist
and must have prior knowledge of dental therapy services performed and
examinations conducted. However, the supervising dentist is not required to be
present at the time a task is performed or an examination is conducted. Dental
therapists are, subject to the terms of a collaborative management agreement,
limited to providing services, treatments, and procedures that are specified in the
bill, as well as additional services, treatments, or procedures specified by the
examining board by rule. The bill enumerates settings in which a dental therapist
may practice dental therapy, requires the examining board to establish by rule the
additional settings in which a dental therapist may provide dental therapy services,
and specifies that those additional settings may be only settings in which
low-income, uninsured, and underserved populations are served. Dental therapists
must complete 12 hours of continuing education each biennium.
The bill subjects dental therapists to, or covers dental therapists under, various
other laws, including the health care records law, the volunteer health care provider
program, the health care worker protection law, and the emergency volunteer health
care practitioner law. The bill also provides for loan forgiveness for dental therapists
under the health care provider loan assistance program.
Finally, the bill requires, effective when the first individual becomes licensed
as a dental therapist in this state, that two dental therapists be added to the
examining board.
Dispensing of naloxone by pharmacists; training
The bill requires the Pharmacy Examining Board to promulgate rules
requiring all pharmacists to receive training on delivering or dispensing an opioid
antagonist. Opioid antagonists are prescription drugs, such as the drug naloxone,
some of which can, when administered to a person undergoing an overdose on drugs
such as heroin or prescription narcotics, have the effect of countering the effects of
the overdose.
Pharmacist continuing education credits for volunteering at free and
charitable clinics
The bill allows pharmacists to satisfy up to 10 hours of their biennial continuing
education requirements by volunteering at a free and charitable clinic. Current law
requires pharmacists to complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years
as a condition of renewing their licenses.
Maintaining current e-mail addresses for credential applicants and
recipients
The bill requires that applicants for and recipients of a professional credential
provide DSPS with a current e-mail address. Current law requires those applicants
and recipients to inform DSPS of their current name and address and of any changes
to that information within 30 days of such change. This new requirement does not
apply if the applicant or recipient does not have reasonable access to the Internet,
in which case the applicant or recipient may maintain paper communication with
DSPS. The bill specifies that electronic communications from DSPS may not be
substituted for the service of any process, notice, or demand.

STATE GOVERNMENT
LEGISLATURE
Congressional and legislative redistricting
Under the U.S. and Wisconsin Constitutions, the Wisconsin Legislature
undertakes congressional and state assembly and senate redistricting after each
federal decennial census. The most recent federal census was conducted beginning
on April 1, 2020. The bill imposes all of the following requirements on the 2021-23
legislature concerning congressional and legislative redistricting:
1. The Legislative Reference Bureau must prepare bills that give effect to the
congressional and legislative redistricting plans proposed by the People's Maps
Commission, which Governor Evers created on January 27, 2020, under Executive
Order 66. Executive Order 66 requires the commission to hold public hearings
throughout the state and develop redistricting maps for consideration by the
legislature. Once LRB has prepared the bills, LRB is required to deliver the bills to
the governor for approval.
2. The governor then provides the bills to the Joint Committee on Legislative
Organization (JCLO), which is required to introduce the bills without change in each
house of the legislature. The legislature must take final action on the bills no later
than the 60th day after the bills are introduced. Additionally, the bill prohibits the
legislature from taking action on any other redistricting legislation until after each
house of the legislature votes on final passage of the commission's maps.
3. All records created or maintained by each house, committee, and member of
the legislature that relate to congressional or legislative redistricting may not be
destroyed until after December 31, 2030. Under current law, legislators' records
need not be retained for a specified period of time.
4. All records created or maintained by each house, committee, and member of
the legislature that relate to congressional or legislative redistricting are subject to
public access under Wisconsin's open records law and may not be withheld from
public access on the basis of any claim of confidentiality or privilege, except for
records containing confidential attorney-client communications concerning a
previously drafted congressional or legislative redistricting plan. Under current law,
such records, depending on the circumstances, may be subject to statutory or
common
law
confidentiality
requirements
or
privileges,
including
the
attorney-client privilege.
5. Each meeting related to congressional or legislative redistricting that
includes at least two members of the legislature, members of the partisan staff of at
least two legislative offices, a member of the legislature and nonpartisan legislative
staff, or a member of the legislature and a person retained by the legislature to assist
with congressional or legislative redistricting, must be preceded by public notice in
the manner provided under Wisconsin's open meetings law and must be held in a
place reasonably accessible to members of the public and open to all citizens at all

times. Under current law, the open meetings law applies to meetings of government
bodies. It does not apply to meetings between legislators and staff.
Legislative intervention in certain court proceedings
Current law as established in 2017 Wisconsin Act 369 provides that the
legislature may intervene as a matter of right in an action in state or federal court
when a party to the action does any of the following:
1. Challenges the constitutionality of a statute.
2. Challenges a statute as violating or preempted by federal law.
3. Otherwise challenges the construction or validity of a statute.
Current law as established in Act 369 also provides that the legislature must
be served with a copy of the proceedings in all such actions, regardless of whether the
legislature intervenes in the action.
The bill repeals all of those provisions.
Retention of legal counsel by the legislature
Current law allows representatives to the assembly and senators, as well as
legislative employees, to receive legal representation from DOJ in most legal
proceedings. However, current law also provides all of the following:
1. With respect to the assembly, that the speaker of the assembly may authorize
a representative to the assembly or assembly employee who requires legal
representation to obtain outside legal counsel if the acts or allegations underlying
the action are arguably within the scope of the representative's or employee's
legislative duties; and that the speaker may obtain outside legal counsel in any
action in which the assembly is a party or in which the interests of the assembly are
affected, as determined by the speaker.
2. With respect to the senate, that the senate majority leader may authorize
a senator or senate employee who requires legal representation to obtain outside
legal counsel if the acts or allegations underlying the action are arguably within the
scope of the senator's or employee's legislative duties; and that the majority leader
may obtain outside legal counsel in any action in which the senate is a party or in
which the interests of the senate are affected, as determined by the majority leader.
3. That the cochairpersons of JCLO may authorize a legislative service agency
employee who requires legal representation to obtain outside legal counsel if the acts
or allegations underlying the action are arguably within the scope of the employee's
legislative duties; and that the cochairpersons may obtain outside legal counsel in
any action in which the legislature is a party or in which the interests of the
legislature are affected, as determined by the cochairpersons.
The bill eliminates these provisions. Under the bill, representatives to the
assembly and senators, as well as legislative employees, may continue to receive
legal representation from DOJ in most legal proceedings.
Advice and consent of the senate
Under current law, any individual nominated by the governor or another state
officer or agency subject to the advice and consent of the senate, whose confirmation
for the office or position is rejected by the senate, may not do any of the following
during the legislative session biennium in which his or her nomination is rejected:
1. Hold the office or position for which he or she was rejected.
- 164 -

2. Be nominated again for that office or position.
3. Perform any duties of that office or position.
The bill eliminates those restrictions.
Capitol security
Under current law, DOA is required to submit any proposed changes to security
at the capitol, including the posting of a firearm restriction, to JCLO for approval
under passive review. The bill eliminates that requirement.
STATE FINANCE
Refunding certain general obligation debt
The bill increases from $7,510,000,000 to $9,510,000,000 the amount of state
public debt that may generally be contracted to refund any unpaid indebtedness used
to finance tax-supported or self-amortizing facilities.
Use of bond premium proceeds for costs incurred in contracting and
administering public debt
The bill authorizes the state to use premium proceeds from the sale of bonds for
costs incurred in contracting and administering public debt. Premium proceeds are
proceeds received at the time of the bond sale that are in excess of the actual amount
of principal borrowed.
GENERAL STATE GOVERNMENT
Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy
The bill creates the Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy in DOA to
administer certain energy programs. The bill requires the Office of Sustainability
and Clean Energy to work on initiatives with specified goals regarding clean and
renewable energy, innovative sustainability, and diversification of energy resources
and imposes duties on the office for advising, supporting, reporting, and assisting
state agencies, local governments, and private entities on clean and renewable
energy. The bill allows the Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy to provide
technical assistance to governmental units and private entities. In addition, the bill
requires the Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy to establish a program for
making grants from the environmental fund for clean energy production research.
Creating the Office of Environmental Justice
The bill creates the Office of Environmental Justice within DOA. The office is
led by a director outside the classified service who is appointed by the secretary of
administration.
The duties of the office include all of the following: 1) developing a statewide
climate risk assessment and resiliency plan; 2) assisting state agencies, local
governments, and tribal governments with the development of climate risk
assessment and resiliency plans; 3) administering a climate risk assessment and
resiliency plan technical assistance grant program; 4) collaborating with state
agencies and entities that serve vulnerable communities to address the impact of
climate change on vulnerable communities; 5) providing guidance to state entities
on issues regarding environmental justice and related community issues to address
environmental issues and concerns that affect primarily low income and minority

related to environmental justice. The bill also creates the unclassified positions of
chief resiliency officer and director of the Office of Environmental Justice. Under the
bill, the chief resiliency officer and the director of the Office of Environmental Justice
are assigned to executive salary group 3.
The bill makes an appropriation for the administration of the Office of
Environmental Justice, development of state agency climate risk assessments and
resiliency plans, and the chief resiliency officer. Also under the bill, DOA is required
to charge state agencies a fee for the development of state agency climate risk
assessments and resiliency plans.
The bill also makes an appropriation for the administration of the climate risk
assessment and resiliency plan technical assistance grant program.
Office of Digital Transformation; enterprise data management and
analytics
The bill creates the Office of Digital Transformation in DOA. The office is under
the direction and supervision of a director who is appointed by and serves at the
pleasure of the secretary of administration.
The bill authorizes the office to establish an enterprise data management and
analytics program to gather, combine, and analyze data provided by state agencies
to evaluate the outcomes of state-funded programs; develop and implement policies
and strategies to promote the effective, efficient, and best use of state resources; and
identify, prevent, or eliminate the fraudulent use of state funds, resources, and
programs. At the office's request, a state agency must provide data to the office for
use under the program.
The bill includes measures to protect the confidentiality of data provided to the
office under the program and requires the office, in consultation with other agencies,
to develop protocols and security measures to ensure the security and proper use of
data shared under the program.
Administrative attachments to DOA
Under current law, a division, office, commission, council, or board that is
attached to an agency for administrative purposes exercises its powers and duties
independently, but the agency performs budgeting, program coordination, and
related management functions on behalf of the division, office, or other body.
Under current law, the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and
state treasurer each head a staff termed the “office" of the respective constitutional
officer. The bill attaches all of those offices to DOA for administrative purposes.
Under current law, the Higher Educational Aids Board is an independent
agency in the executive branch of state government. The bill attaches to DOA for
administrative purposes both HEAB and the Distance Learning Authorization
Board, which is currently attached to HEAB.
Under current law, the Kickapoo Reserve Management Board is attached to the
Department of Tourism for administrative purposes. The bill attaches the board to
DOA for administrative purposes.

Assistant secretary of state
2015 Wisconsin Act 55 eliminated the position of assistant secretary of state.
The bill restores that position. The secretary of state may delegate any duty or power
to the assistant secretary of state, except duties and powers the secretary of state
performs as a member of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands (BCPL).
Office of the State Treasurer appropriation
The bill creates a GPR program operations appropriation for the Office of the
State Treasurer. Currently, the office is funded by a PR appropriation from moneys
received from the state's unclaimed property program.
Programs for the certification of certain businesses for preference in state
contracting
Under current law, DOA administers disabled veteran-owned business
certifications, woman-owned business certifications, and minority business
certifications. A business that qualifies for and maintains one of those certifications
may be eligible to receive certain advantages bidding on public projects and other
benefits. Current law authorizes DOA to charge a certification fee to cover its costs
to administer the certifications programs. The bill eliminates that fee authorization.
Additionally, the bill establishes the following new certification programs:
1. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender-owned businesses, including
financial advisers and investment firms. DOA may certify a business as a lesbian,
gay, bisexual, or transgender-owned business if it determines the business satisfies
all of the following:
a. One or more lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individuals own at least
51 percent of the business or, in the case of any publicly owned business, one or more
lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individuals own at least 51 percent of the stock
of the business.
b. One or more lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individuals or one or more
duly authorized representatives of one or more lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender
individuals control the management and daily business operations of the business.
c. The business has its principal place of business in this state.
d. The business is currently performing a useful business function.
2. Disability-owned businesses, including financial advisers and investment
firms. DOA may certify a business as a disability-owned business if it determines
the business satisfies all of the following:
a. One or more individuals with a disability own at least 51 percent of the
business or, in the case of any publicly owned business, one or more individuals with
a disability own at least 51 percent of the stock of the business.
b. One or more individuals with a disability or one or more duly authorized
representatives of one or more individuals with a disability control the management
and daily business operations of the business.

are eligible to receive certain advantages bidding on public projects and other
benefits similar to certified disabled veteran-owned businesses, woman-owned
businesses, and minority businesses.
Technology for Educational Achievement program (TEACH)
The bill makes various changes to the Technology for Educational Achievement
program, known as TEACH, which offers telecommunications access to school
districts, private schools, cooperative educational service agencies, technical college
districts, independent charter school authorizers, juvenile correctional facilities,
private and tribal colleges, and public library boards (educational agencies) at
discounted rates and by subsidizing the cost of installing data lines.
The bill makes the following changes to the TEACH educational
telecommunications access program:
1. Under the program, educational agencies are required to pay for the services
provided to them by the TEACH program. Under current law, an educational
agency's payment to the state may not exceed $100 per month for each data line that
relies on a transport medium that operates at a speed of 1.544 megabits per second
or less and may not exceed $250 per month for each data line that operates at a higher
speed. The bill increases the threshold data line speed to which the minimum
monthly payment limitation applies from 1.544 megabits per second or less to less
than one gigabit per second.
2. Under current law, DOA must ensure that a juvenile correctional facility
that receives access to data lines or bandwidth under the program uses that access
only for educational purposes. The bill expands this requirement to apply to all types
of educational agencies and requires that the access must be used primarily for
educational purposes, rather than only for educational purposes.
3. Eliminates a provision under current law that prohibits an educational
agency that receives access to a data line under the program from 1) providing access
to the data line to any business entity unless certain conditions are met; or 2)
requesting access to an additional data line for purposes of providing access to a
political subdivision under a shared service agreement.
4. Eliminates a provision under current law that allows a public library board
that receives access to a data line under the program to enter into a shared service
agreement with a political subdivision, subject to certain conditions, to provide the
political subdivision with access to any excess bandwidth.
The bill also makes statutory language changes to the former TEACH
educational technology infrastructure financial assistance program. Under the
program, school districts and public libraries could apply for loans and grants to fund
the upgrading of electrical wiring in buildings in existence on October 14, 1997, and
the installation and upgrading of computer network wiring. The program required
DOA to determine the amount of financial assistance for which a school district or
library was eligible and to loan the school district or library 50 percent of that amount
- 168 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
and to award a grant for the other 50 percent of that amount. Schools and libraries
were required to pay the debt service on the loans and to repay the loans within 10
years, and the state paid the debt service for the grants. The program was closed to
new applications for assistance as of July 26, 2003. The bill eliminates obsolete
language in the statutes related to the former program while retaining language that
requires repayment of certain debt service expenditures.
TEACH information technology block grant program
As part of the TEACH program, DOA awards information technology block
grants to rural school districts and rural public libraries to improve information
technology infrastructure. The bill makes the following changes to the information
technology block grant program:
1. Extends the sunset for awarding grants from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2025.
2. Adjusts the amounts DOA may award annually under the grant program.
Under current law, DOA may award up to $3,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2019-20
and 2020-21. Under the bill, DOA may award $3,000,000 in each fiscal year, but,
if DOA does not award the full amount in the first fiscal year of a biennium, DOA may
award that unawarded amount in the second fiscal year of the biennium.
3. Specifies that eligibility for school districts based on membership and for
public libraries based on municipal population is determined in the first fiscal year
of a biennium and that the determination applies for both fiscal years of the
biennium.
4. Specifies that a school district's eligibility is based on its membership in the
most recent school year for which finalized data is available, rather than
membership in the previous school year.
5. Modifies the definition for what constitutes a “rural” public library for
eligibility purposes. Under the bill, a public library is eligible for the grant program
if the population of the municipality in which the library is located is 20,000 or less
and the library is located outside of urban areas, as determined by the U.S. Census
Bureau.
Finally, the bill requires DOA to, at least annually, provide all school districts
and public libraries in this state that are eligible for information technology block
grants with information regarding how to apply for the grants.
Project labor agreements
Under current law, the state and local units of government are prohibited from
engaging in certain practices in letting bids for state procurement or public works
contracts. Among these prohibitions, as established by 2017 Wisconsin Act 3, the
state and local governments may not do any of the following in specifications for bids
for the contracts: 1) require that a bidder enter into an agreement with a labor
organization; 2) consider, when awarding a contract, whether a bidder has or has not
entered into an agreement with a labor organization; or 3) require that a bidder enter
into an agreement that requires that the bidder or bidder's employees become or
remain members of a labor organization or pay any dues or fees to a labor
organization. The bill repeals these limitations related to labor organizations.

SENATE BILL 111
Fund of funds investment program
Currently, DOA administers a program for the investment of moneys in venture
capital funds that invest in businesses located in this state, called the fund of funds
investment program. Under the program, the state initially contracted with an
investment manager during the 2013-14 fiscal year to invest $25,000,000 in venture
capital funds. The gross proceeds from the investment of this $25,000,000 were to
be returned to the state for deposit into the general fund. The bill provides that the
gross proceeds are to be reinvested in venture capital funds unless otherwise
directed by DOA.
Volkswagen settlement grants
Under current law, moneys received under a settlement that the state received
from a legal action against Volkswagen are held in an appropriation account that
limits spending to three purposes: replacement of state fleet vehicles, grants for the
replacement of public transit vehicles, and grants for the replacement of school
buses. The bill eliminates the school bus grant program and provides that grants
may be awarded for the replacement of public transit vehicles and the installation
of electric vehicle charging stations. The bill requires that, of the settlement funds
that are received for grants during the 2021-23 biennium, DOA must allocate
$10,000,000 for electric vehicle charging stations and any funds in excess of
$10,000,000 to the replacement of state vehicles with fuel efficient or electric
vehicles.
Equal opportunity internship program
The bill requires the Division of Personnel Management in DOA to establish a
program for the placement of up to 16 paid interns annually with state agencies and
members of the legislature. Under the program, each intern must come from a
household whose income does not exceed 300 percent of the federal poverty line based
on family size. Additionally, each intern must be paid a stipend of at least $15 per
hour, which may be paid for up to 20 hours of work per week. Under the bill, the
stipend is required to be disregarded in establishing household income for purposes
of obtaining public benefits under any state program.
Youth wellness center
Under current law, DOA provides funding to American Indian tribes to create
architectural plans for a youth wellness center. The bill changes the appropriation
to provide funding for a youth wellness center, removing the limitation of the creation
of architectural plans.
Equity grant program and diversity, equity, and inclusion
The bill requires DOA to provide grants to public, private, and nonprofit
entities in this state that promote diversity and advance equity and inclusion. The
bill also makes a new appropriation to DOA to administer the equity grant program
and for diversity, equity, and inclusion activities overseen by DOA.
Director of Native American affairs

persons.
Procurement and risk management educational services
The bill authorizes DOA to provide educational services in procurement and

High-voltage transmission line fees
The bill requires PSC to administer annual impact and onetime environmental
impact fees paid under current law by persons authorized by PSC to operate
high-voltage transmission lines. Under current law, DOA administers the fees.
Excess insurance premiums
The bill creates an appropriation account to receive premiums charged to state
agencies for excess insurance under a contract entered into by DOA.
Worker misclassification outreach
The bill requires DOA to direct state agencies, constitutional offices,
departments, independent agencies, and societies, associations, and certain other
agencies of state government for which appropriations are made by law, to provide
educational outreach regarding worker misclassification to employers, workers, and
organizations that serve vulnerable populations.
Juneteenth state holiday
The bill designates June 19, the day on which Juneteenth is celebrated, as a
state holiday on which state offices are closed. Under current law, the offices of the
agencies of state government are generally closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and a total

BCPL payments in lieu of taxes appropriation
Under current law, land that BCPL owns is not subject to property taxes. For
certain lands purchased on or after July 14, 2015, though, BCPL makes annual
payments to municipalities in lieu of the property tax that would have been owed on
these lands were they not tax exempt. Currently, these payments are made from
BCPL's general operations appropriation account. The bill creates an appropriation
account specifically for these payments in lieu of taxes.
BCPL gifts and grants appropriation
The bill creates a continuing appropriation for all gifts and grants received by
BCPL.
Raffle and bingo appropriations
The bill combines the appropriation accounts for general program operations
for raffles and bingo, and removes the requirement for unspent bingo funds to be
transferred into the lottery fund at the end of each fiscal year.
Defining “multijurisdictional” for the purposes of the lottery
Under current law, the state is authorized to operate a state lottery, which
includes participation in a multijurisdictional lottery. Under current law,
“multijurisdictional” is defined to include any U.S. state or territory, Canada, or any
Canadian province. The bill changes the definition of “multijurisdictional,” for the
purposes of the state lottery, to include any other country or nation.
Public records location fee
Current law allows an authority to impose a fee on any person requesting a
public record to cover the cost of locating that record, if the cost is $50 or more. The
location fee may not exceed the actual, necessary, and direct cost of locating the
record. Current law defines an “authority” to include any elective official or state or
local government agency that has custody of a public record.
Under the bill, the cost of locating a public record must be $100 or more before
an authority may impose a fee to cover the actual, necessary, and direct cost of
locating the record.
TAXATION
INCOME TAXATION
Child and dependent care tax credit
The bill creates an individual income tax credit based on the federal child and
dependent care tax credit. The federal credit may be claimed by an individual who
pays for the care of a “qualifying individual” so that the credit claimant can work or
actively look for work. A qualifying individual is the claimant's dependent child
under 13 years of age or the claimant's spouse or dependent who is incapable of self
care. The total expenses for care that a claimant may take into account when
calculating the federal credit is $3,000 if there is one qualifying individual and
$6,000 if there is more than one qualifying individual. Depending on the claimant's
- 172 -

SENATE BILL 111
adjusted gross income, the credit may be worth between 20 percent and 35 percent
of the allowable expenses. The federal credit is nonrefundable, which means it may
be claimed only up to the amount of the claimant's tax liability.
Under current law, Wisconsin does not have a child and dependent care tax
credit but does allow individuals to deduct the expenses that qualify for the federal
credit when computing their income for state tax purposes.
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, the bill creates a tax
credit based on the amount claimed under the federal credit and repeals the existing
deduction. Under the bill, an individual who is eligible for and claims the federal
child and dependent care tax credit may claim 50 percent of the same amount as a
nonrefundable credit on his or her Wisconsin income tax return. The Wisconsin
credit may not be claimed by a part-year resident or nonresident of this state.
Caregiver tax credit
The bill creates an income tax credit for individuals who pay for items that
directly relate to the care or support of a family member who requires assistance with
one or more daily living activities and is over the age of 18. The credit equals 50
percent of the expenses, limited to a maximum annual credit per family member of
$500, or $250 for married spouses filing separately. If more than one individual may
claim the credit based on the same family member, the maximum annual credit
amount is apportioned among them based on expenses paid. For married couples
filing jointly, the credit phases out between federal adjusted gross income of $150,000
and $170,000, and no credit may be claimed if federal AGI exceeds $170,000. For all
other taxpayers, the phase out range is between federal AGI of $75,000 and $85,000,
and no credit may be claimed if federal AGI exceeds $85,000. Under the bill,
expenses that qualify for the credit include amounts spent on improving the
claimant's primary residence to assist the family member, purchasing equipment to
help the family member with daily living activities, and obtaining other goods or
services to help care for the family member. Expenses that do not qualify for the
credit include general food, clothing, transportation, and household repair costs, as
well as amounts that are reimbursed by insurance or other means. The credit is
nonrefundable, which means it may be claimed only up to the amount of the
claimant's tax liability.
Earned income tax credit
The bill increases the amount that an individual with fewer than three
qualifying children may claim as the Wisconsin earned income tax credit. Under
current law, the Wisconsin EITC is equal to a percentage of the federal EITC. The
percentage is 4 percent of the federal EITC if the individual has one qualifying child,
11 percent if the individual has two qualifying children, and 34 percent if the
individual has three or more qualifying children. The credit is refundable, which
means that if the credit exceeds the individual's tax liability, he or she will receive
the excess as a refund check.
Under the bill, the percentage of the federal EITC that an eligible individual
may claim for Wisconsin purposes is 16 percent if the individual has one qualifying
child, 25 percent if the individual has two qualifying children, and 34 percent if the
individual has three or more qualifying children.

Subtraction for active duty pay
Under current law, members of a reserve component of the U.S. armed forces
who are called into active federal service or special state service under specified
sections of the U.S. Code may subtract the military pay they receive from the federal
government while on active duty. The bill expands the existing subtraction to include
members who are activated under an additional section of the U.S. Code that relates
to orders to active duty for preplanned missions in support of the combatant
commands. Also under the bill, members of the Wisconsin national guard may, when
computing their state income taxes, subtract from income the pay they receive from
the state while on active state duty.
Manufacturing and agriculture credit limitation
Currently, a person may claim a tax credit on the basis of the person's income
from manufacturing or agriculture. A taxpayer may claim a credit equal to 7.5
percent of the income derived from either the sale of tangible personal property
manufactured in whole or in part on property in this state that is assessed as
manufacturing property or from the sale of tangible personal property produced,
grown, or extracted in whole or in part from property in this state assessed as
agricultural property. If the amount of the credit exceeds the taxpayer's income tax
liability, the taxpayer does not receive a refund, but may apply the balance to the
taxpayer's tax liability in subsequent taxable years.
The bill limits to $300,000 the amount of income from manufacturing that a
person may use as the basis for claiming the credit. The bill does not affect the
amount of income from agriculture that may be used as a basis for claiming the
credit.
Work opportunity tax credit
The bill creates a state income and franchise tax credit to supplement the
federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit. The federal tax credit is available to
employers who hire individuals from specified targeted groups. The targeted groups
are veterans, ex-felons, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families recipients,
designated community residents, vocational rehabilitation referrals, summer youth
employees, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients, Supplemental
Security Income recipients, long-term family assistance recipients, and long-term
unemployment recipients. In general, the federal credit equals 40 percent of the
wages, limited to $6,000, paid to the individual during the first year of employment
if the individual works at least 400 hours and 20 percent of such wages if the
individual works between 120 and 400 hours. Different limitations and rules exist
for members of certain targeted groups. The federal tax credit is scheduled to expire
on January 1, 2026.
Under the bill, an employer may claim a state tax credit for wages paid to
individuals who are members of a targeted group, as determined under federal law,
for services performed in Wisconsin. The state credit is equal to 50 percent of the
amount that the claimant could claim under the federal credit for those wages and
must be claimed at the same time as the federal credit.

First-time homebuyer savings accounts
The bill creates a tax-advantaged first-time homebuyer savings account.
Under the bill, an individual, known as the account holder, may open an account at
a financial institution for the purpose of paying the down payment and closing costs
for the purchase of a single-family residence in Wisconsin by the account's
designated beneficiary. The beneficiary, who may be the account holder, must be a
Wisconsin resident who has not owned a single-family residence during the 36
months prior to the purchase. An individual may be designated the beneficiary of
more than one account, but not by the same account holder. The account holder may
change the beneficiary at any time. An account may only remain open for 10 years.
The bill provides that an account holder, when calculating his or her income for
state tax purposes, may subtract the deposits that he or she made into the account
during the year, as well as any interest and other gains on the account that are
redeposited into it. The maximum amount of deposits that the account holder may
subtract per account each year is $5,000, which is increased to $10,000 if he or she
is married and files a joint return. Over all taxable years, the account holder may
not subtract more than $50,000 of deposits into any account for each beneficiary. The
bill provides that other persons may contribute to the account, but they may not
subtract their contributions.
Under the bill, with limited exceptions, if an amount is withdrawn from the
account for any reason other than paying the down payment and closing costs, the
account holder is subject to a 10 percent penalty tax on the withdrawal and must
include the amount of the withdrawal in income for state tax purposes.
The bill requires that the account holder annually submit information about
the account to DOR, including a list of the account's transactions. These provisions
apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021.
Homestead tax credit
Under current law, the homestead tax credit is a refundable income tax credit
that may be claimed by homeowners and renters. The credit is based on the
claimant's household income and the amount of property taxes or rent constituting
property taxes on his or her Wisconsin homestead. Because the credit is refundable,
if the credit exceeds the claimant's income tax liability, he or she receives the excess
as a refund check. Under current law, there are three key dollar amounts used when
calculating the credit:
1. If household income is $8,060 or less, the credit is 80 percent of the property
taxes or rent constituting property taxes. If household income exceeds $8,060, the
property taxes or rent constituting property taxes are reduced by 8.785 percent of the
household income exceeding $8,060, and the credit is 80 percent of the reduced
property taxes or rent constituting property taxes.
2. The credit may not be claimed if household income exceeds $24,680.
3. The maximum property taxes or rent constituting property taxes used to
calculate the credit is $1,460.
Beginning with claims filed in 2021, the bill reduces the percentage used for
household income over $8,060 from 8.785 to 6.655 percent and increases the
- 175 -

maximum income amount from $24,680 to $30,000. The bill also indexes the $8,060,
$30,000, and $1,460 amounts for inflation, beginning in 2023.
Veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit
Under current law, an eligible veteran or surviving spouse may claim a
refundable income tax credit that equals the amount of property taxes paid during
the year on his or her principal dwelling in Wisconsin. Current law does not
expressly address the treatment of renters. DOR allows an eligible veteran or
surviving spouse who is a renter to claim the credit if he or she is required to pay the
property taxes under a written agreement with the landlord and pays the property
taxes directly to the municipality.
Under the bill, an eligible veteran or surviving spouse who is a renter may claim
the credit in an amount equal to his or her rent constituting property taxes. The bill
defines “rent constituting property taxes" to mean 20 percent of the rent paid during
the year for the use of a principal dwelling if heat is included in the rent, and 25
percent of the rent if heat is not included.
Medical care insurance subtraction
The bill modifies the income tax subtraction for amounts paid for medical care
insurance by self-employed individuals. Under current law, the subtraction may not
exceed the individual's net earnings from a trade or business that are taxable by
Wisconsin. Under the bill, the subtraction may not exceed the individual's wages,
salary, tips, unearned income, and net earnings from a trade or business that are
taxable by Wisconsin.
The bill similarly modifies the provision under current law that prorates the
subtraction for self-employed nonresidents and part-year residents based on the
percentage of the individual's net earnings from a trade or business taxable by
Wisconsin to total net earnings from a trade or business. Under the bill, the
subtraction is prorated based on the percentage of the individual's wages, salary,
tips, unearned income, and net earnings from a trade or business that are taxable
by Wisconsin to total wages, salary, tips, unearned income, and net earnings from a
trade or business. The bill also eliminates obsolete provisions related to the medical
care insurance subtraction for self-employed individuals.
Private school tuition deduction
Under current law, an individual, when computing income for income tax
purposes, may deduct the tuition paid during the year to send his or her dependent
child to private school. The maximum deduction is $4,000 for an elementary school
pupil and $10,000 for a secondary school pupil.
Under the bill, only individuals whose Wisconsin adjusted gross income is
below a threshold amount may claim the deduction for private school tuition. The
threshold amount is $100,000 for single individuals and heads of household,
$150,000 for married couples filing jointly; and $75,000 for married individuals filing
separately.
Limitation on capital gains exclusion
Current law allows individuals, when computing their income for state tax
purposes, to subtract 30 percent of the net capital gains realized from the sale of
- 176 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
assets held more than one year or acquired from a decedent. The subtraction is
increased to 60 percent for gains realized from the sale of farm assets held more than
one year or acquired from a decedent.
Under the bill, an individual may not make the 30 percent subtraction if his or
her federal adjusted gross income exceeds $400,000 for a single individual or head
of household filer; $533,000 for a married couple who files jointly; or $266,500 for a
married individual who files separately. The bill creates an exception for individuals
whose federal AGI, after subtracting 30 percent of net capital gains from nonfarm
assets, is below the threshold amount. These individuals may make the subtraction,
subject to the 30 percent limitation, but must reduce the amount subtracted by the
amount that federal AGI exceeds the threshold amount. The bill makes no changes
to the 60 percent subtraction.
Education award subtraction
Under current law, an individual who completes a term of service in the
AmeriCorps program may receive a Segal AmeriCorps education award to pay for
post-secondary educational expenses and to repay student loans. The awards are
subject to federal and state income taxation. Under the bill, an individual may
subtract the amount received as an award during the taxable year when calculating
his or her income for Wisconsin income tax purposes.
Flood insurance premiums
The bill creates a nonrefundable individual income tax credit for flood
insurance premiums. The credit is equal to 10 percent of the amount of the premiums
that an individual paid in the taxable year for flood insurance, but the amount of the
claim may not exceed $60 in any taxable year. Because the credit is nonrefundable,
it may be claimed only up to the amount of the individual's tax liability.
Dividends received deduction
Current law allows corporations to deduct, for income and franchise tax
purposes, the dividends received from related corporations. The dividends must be
paid on common stock, and the corporation receiving the dividends must own at least
70 percent of the total combined voting stock of the other corporation. Current law
also allows businesses to carry forward net business losses to future taxable years
in order to offset income in those years. Under the bill, a business may not take the
dividends received deduction into account when determining if it has a net business
loss that can be carried forward.
Net operating loss carryback
The bill repeals the provision under which an individual may carry back a net
operating loss to the two prior taxable years in order to reduce the amount of income
subject to tax in those years.
Pass-through entities and refundable tax credits
Current law allows businesses operating in this state to claim a number of
income and franchise tax credits to promote job creation and economic development.
The following credits allow a business to receive a refund if the amount of the credit
exceeds its tax liability: the jobs tax credit, the business development credit, the
enterprise zones jobs credit, the electronics and information technology
- 177 -

SENATE BILL 111
manufacturing zone credit, and the research credit. Partnerships, limited liability
companies, and tax-option corporations may not claim these credits, but, instead,
the partners, members, and shareholders of the respective entities may claim the
credits in proportion to their ownership interests in the entity. Generally, the entities
determine the aggregate amount of the credits that the partners, members, or
shareholders may claim.
The bill allows partnerships, limited liability companies, and tax-option
corporations to claim the refundable tax credits, not including the electronics and
information technology manufacturing zone credit and the research credit.
Research credit refunds
Current law allows a person to claim an income and franchise tax credit equal
to a percentage of the person's qualified research expenses that exceed 50 percent of
the average qualified research expenses for the three taxable years immediately
preceding the taxable year for which the person claims the credit. For example, a
person may claim a credit equal to 11.5 percent of the person's excess qualified
research expenses related to research related to the design and manufacturing of
energy efficient lighting systems, building automation and control systems, or
automotive batteries for use in hybrid-electric vehicles.
If the amount of the credit exceeds the person's tax liability, the person will
receive a refund in an amount not exceeding 10 percent of the allowable claim. The
taxpayer may apply any remaining unused portion of the credit to subsequent
taxable years. Under the bill, if the amount of the credit exceeds the person's tax
liability, the person will receive a refund in an amount not exceeding 20 percent of
the allowable claim and may continue to claim the remaining unused portion in
subsequent taxable years.
Federal changes to college savings accounts
The bill adopts for state income tax purposes current and future provisions of
the federal Internal Revenue Code related to qualified tuition programs, including
the provision that requires a taxpayer to reduce the amount that he or she claims as
interest on education loans by the amount of distributions from a qualified tuition
program treated as qualified higher education expenses under federal law. In
addition, current state law requires a taxpayer to add back to his or her federal
adjusted gross income any amount distributed from a qualified tuition program that
was not used for qualified higher education expenses, if the amount was contributed
to the qualified tuition program account after December 31, 2013, and the taxpayer
also claimed that amount as a subtraction. Under the bill, the taxpayer must make
that addition regardless of when the amount was contributed to the account.
Broker-dealer apportionment factor
Under current law, multistate businesses must apportion their income to
Wisconsin and the other state or states for income and franchise tax purposes.
Current law requires that DOR promulgate rules for apportioning the income of
specialized industries. A DOR rule provides that broker-dealers, investment
advisers, investment companies, and underwriters apportion income using a single
receipts factor. The rule also provides that, under certain circumstances, the factor's
numerator includes the modified gross receipts from the sales of trading assets,
- 178 -

unless DOR orders or allows modified net gains to be used instead. The bill amends
the DOR rule to provide that the factor's numerator includes the modified net gains
from the sales of trading assets, rather than modified gross receipts.
Internal Revenue Code references
The bill adopts, for state income and franchise tax purposes, certain changes
made to the Internal Revenue Code by the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted
in December 2017. The bill adopts provisions of the act related to amortization of
research and experimental expenditures, certain special rules for the taxable year
of inclusion, and limitations on excessive employee renumeration, the
business-related deduction for interest, the deduction by employers of expenses for
fringe benefits, the deduction for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums,
and losses for taxpayers other than for corporations,.
PROPERTY TAXATION
Assessments; leased property and comparable sales
The bill provides that, for property tax purposes, real property includes any
leases, rights, and privileges pertaining to the property, including assets that cannot
be taxed separately as real property, but are inextricably intertwined with the real
property. The bill also requires real property to be assessed at its highest and best
use. Current law requires that real property be assessed at its full value and upon
actual view or from the best information that the assessor can obtain from
“arm's-length sales" of comparable property. The bill defines an “arm's-length sale"
as a sale between a willing buyer and willing seller, neither being under compulsion
to buy or sell and each being familiar with the attributes of the property sold.
The bill also provides that an assessor may determine the value of leased
property by considering the lease provisions and actual rent pertaining to the
property, if the lease provisions and rent are the result of an “arm's-length
transaction.” The bill defines an “arm's-length transaction” as an agreement
between willing parties, neither being under compulsion to act and each being
familiar with the attributes of the property.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court decided in 2008 that a property tax assessment
of leased retail property using the income approach must be based on “market rents,"
which is what a person would pay to rent the property, based on rentals of similar
property, as opposed to “contract rents," which is the amount that the lessee actually
paid to rent the property. See, Walgreen Company v. City of Madison, 2008 WI 80,
752 N.W.2d 689. The bill changes Wisconsin law to specify that an assessment using
the income approach must be based instead on contract rents.
The bill also provides that to determine the value of property using generally
accepted appraisal methods, an assessor must consider all of the following as
comparable to the property being assessed:
1. Sales or rentals of properties exhibiting the same or a similar highest and
best use with placement in the same real estate market segment.
2. Sales or rentals of properties that are similar to the property being assessed
with regard to age, condition, use, type of construction, location, design, physical
features, and economic characteristics.

SENATE BILL 111
The bill defines “real estate market segment” to mean a pool of potential buyers
and sellers that typically buy or sell properties similar to the property being
assessed, including potential buyers who are investors or owner-occupants.
The bill also provides that a property is not comparable to the property being
assessed if the seller has placed restrictions on the highest and best use of the
property or if the property is dark property and the property being assessed is not
dark property. The bill defines “dark property” as property that is vacant or
unoccupied beyond the normal period for property in the same real estate market
segment.
Manufacturing property assessment fees
Under current law, DOR assesses manufacturing property for property tax
purposes and imposes a fee on each municipality in which the property is located to
cover part of the assessment costs. DOR bills the municipalities for the fee. If a
municipality does not pay by March 31 of the following year, DOR reduces the
municipality's July shared revenue distribution by the amount of the fee.
The bill directs DOR to first collect the fees by reducing municipalities' July and
November shared revenue distributions. If DOR is unable to collect the fee from a
municipality in this manner, then the fee is directly imposed on the municipality.
Community health centers
The bill creates a property tax exemption for the property of a community
health center that receives federal grants to provide health services to vulnerable
populations, is a nonprofit organization exempt from federal income taxes, and
annually treats at least 30,000 patients. With regard to land owned by the
community health center, the exemption is limited to 25 acres necessary for the
location and convenience of buildings while such property is not used for profit.
Current law provides similar property tax exemptions for property owned by
churches or religious, educational, or benevolent associations. Under current law,
land owned by churches or religious associations that is necessary for the location
and convenience of buildings and used for educational purposes and not for profit is
subject to a 30-acre limitation.
Sales of certain lands to American Indian tribes
Current law provides that before a county may sell tax delinquent real estate
in its possession it must provide public notice of the sale and the property's appraised
value. In addition, although the county may accept any bid on the property that is
advantageous to it, the county may not accept at the first attempt to sell the property
a bid that is less than the property's appraised value. After that first attempt, the
property may be sold at less than its appraised value if the sale is reviewed and
approved by the county board or by a committee designated by the board. Also, the
county may not sell the property for less than the highest bid unless the county board
prepares a written statement for public inspection that explains its reasons for
accepting a lower bid. Under current law, these provisions do not apply to the sale
or exchange of lands to or between municipalities or to the state. Under the bill, the
provision for the sale of tax delinquent real estate also does not apply to the sale or
exchange of lands to or between federally recognized American Indian tribes or
bands.

School aid reduction information
The bill requires that a person's property tax bill include information from the
school district in which the property is located regarding the amount of any gross
reduction in state aid to the district as a result of pupils enrolled in the statewide
choice program, the Racine choice program, or the Milwaukee choice program or as
a result of making payments to private schools under the special needs scholarship
program.
GENERAL TAXATION
County and municipality sales and use taxes
Current law allows a county to enact an ordinance to impose sales and use taxes
at the rate of 0.5 percent of the sales price or purchase price on tangible personal
property and taxable services. The county must use the revenue from the taxes for
property tax relief. The bill allows a county to impose, by ordinance, an additional
sales and use tax at the rate of 0.5 percent of the sales price or purchase price on
tangible personal property and taxable services. However, the ordinance does not
take effect unless approved by the majority of the voters of the county at a
referendum. The revenue from those taxes may be used for any purpose designated
by the county board or specified in the ordinance or in the referendum approving the
ordinance.
The bill also allows a municipality with a 2020 population exceeding 30,000 to
enact an ordinance to impose sales and use taxes at the rate of 0.5 percent of the sales
price or purchase price on tangible personal property and taxable services. The
ordinance does not take effect unless approved by the majority of the voters of the
municipality at a referendum. The revenue from those taxes may be used for any
purpose designated by the governing body of the municipality or specified in the
ordinance or in the referendum approving the ordinance.
Sales tax exemption for energy systems
Current law provides a sales and use tax exemption for a product that has as
its power source wind energy, direct radiant energy received from the sun, or gas
generated from anaerobic digestion of animal manure and other agricultural waste,
if the product produces at least 200 watts of alternating current or 600 British
thermal units per day. The sale of electricity or energy produced by the product is
also exempt.
The bill modifies current law so that the exemption applies to solar power
systems and wind energy systems that produce electrical or heat energy directly
from the sun or wind and are capable of continuously producing at least 200 watts
of alternating current or 600 British thermal units. In addition, the exemption
applies to a waste energy system that produces electrical or heat energy directly from
gas generated from anaerobic digestion of animal manure and other agricultural
waste and are capable of continuously producing at least 200 watts of alternating
current or 600 British thermal units. A system for which the exemption applies
includes tangible personal property sold with the system that is used primarily to
store or facilitate the storage of the electrical or heat energy produced by the system.

SENATE BILL 111
Vapor products
Current law imposes a tax on vapor products, which are any noncombustible
products that produce vapor or aerosol for inhalation from the application of a
heating element to a liquid or other substance that is depleted as the product is used,
regardless of whether the liquid or other substance contains nicotine. The tax is
imposed at the rate of 5 cents per milliliter of the liquid or other substance based on
the volume as listed by the manufacturer.
The bill taxes vapor products at the rate of 71 percent of the manufacturer's list
price and modifies the definition of “vapor product.” Under the bill, “vapor product”
means a noncombustible product that employs a heating element, power source,
electronic circuit, or other electronic, chemical, or mechanical means that can be used
to produce vapor from a solution or other substance, regardless of whether the
product contains nicotine. A “vapor product” is defined to include an electronic
cigarette, electronic cigar, electronic cigarillo, electronic pipe, or similar product or
device, as well as any container of a solution or other substance that is intended to
be used with these items. The bill specifies that any product regulated by the federal
Food and Drug Administration as a drug or device is not a vapor product.
Little cigars
The bill taxes little cigars at the same rate as the excise tax imposed on
cigarettes. Under current law, all cigars are taxed at the rate of 71 percent of the
manufacturer's established list price, limited to 50 cents per cigar. Under the bill,
little cigars are taxed at the rate of 126 mills per little cigar, regardless of weight.
The bill defines “little cigar” to mean a cigar that has an integrated cellulose acetate
filter and is wrapped in any substance containing tobacco.
Definition of “manufacturer's list price”
Current law imposes a tax on tobacco products based on the “manufacturer's
established list price,” without defining the term. The bill removes the word
“established” and defines “manufacturer's list price” to mean the total price of
tobacco products charged by the manufacturer or other seller to an unrelated
distributor. The bill specifies that the total price must include all charges by the
manufacturer or other seller that are necessary to complete the sale, without
reduction for any cost or expense incurred by the manufacturer or other seller or for
the value or cost of discounts or free promotional or sample products. The bill
provides that a manufacturer or other seller is related to a distributor if they have
significant common purposes and either substantial common membership or
substantial common direction or control.
Sales tax exemption for diapers
The bill creates a sales and use tax exemption for the sale of diapers, not
including adult undergarments for incontinence.
Prairie and wetland counseling services
Under current law, the sale of landscaping and lawn maintenance services is
subject to the sales tax. The bill excludes from taxable landscaping services the
planning and counseling services for the restoration, reclamation, or revitalization

optional fee distinct from other services.
Repeal of sales tax exemption for farm-raised deer
The bill repeals the sales and use tax exemption that applies to the sale of
farm-raised deer to a person operating a hunting preserve or game farm in this state.
Repeal of sales tax exemption for game birds and clay pigeons
The bill repeals the sales and use tax exemption that applies to the sale of live
game birds and clay pigeons to qualifying bird hunting preserves and shooting
facilities.
Sales and use tax on candy
Current law imposes the sales and use tax on the sale of candy. For purposes
of the sales and use tax, “candy” is defined, generally, as a preparation of sugar, honey
or other sweetener combined with chocolate, fruit, nuts or other ingredients or
flavorings. “Candy” does not include a preparation that contains flour or that
requires refrigeration. Under the bill, for purposes of the sales and use tax, “candy”
also does not include a preparation that has as its predominant ingredient dried or
partially dried fruit, not including a preparation that has a confectionary coating or
glazing on the dried or partially dried fruit.
Providing notices for public utility taxes
Under current law, public utility companies, including railroads and air
carriers, are exempt from local property taxes and are instead subject to special state
taxes. Current law requires DOR to send certain notices regarding these taxes by
certified mail. Under the bill, DOR must still provide the notices but is no longer
required to send them by certified mail.
SHARED REVENUE
Increase in county and municipal aid
The bill increases the amount that each county and municipality annually
receives as a county and municipal aid payment. Currently, a county or municipality
receives a payment equal to the payment it received in 2012. The bill increases that
amount by 2 percent in 2021 and an additional 2 percent beginning in 2022.
Expenditure restraint program
Under current law, generally, a municipality is eligible to receive an
expenditure restraint payment if its property tax levy is greater than five mills and
if the annual increase in its municipal budget is less than the sum of factors based
on inflation and the increased value of property in the municipality as a result of new
construction. Current law excludes certain payments and expenditures from the
municipal budget for purposes of determining eligibility for an expenditure restraint
payment. For example, principal and interest on long-term debt, recycling fee
payments, and unreimbursed expenses related to a declared state of emergency are
excluded from the determination.
The bill excludes from the expenditure restraint program payment
determination additional revenues resulting from a referendum to increase the
municipality's property tax levy limit or the tax rate of the premier resort area tax.

Video service provider fee
Under current law, the state provides an aid payment to municipalities to
compensate the municipalities for a state-mandated reduction in the amount of
video service provider franchise fees that a municipality may impose and collect. The
aid amount is a percentage of the gross receipts reported to the municipality by the
video service provider. In 2020, the amount that a municipality received was equal
to 0.5 percent of the video service provider's gross receipts. In 2021, the municipality
will receive an amount equal to 1 percent of the gross receipts. Annually, beginning
in 2022, the municipality will receive an amount equal to the amount it received in
2021.
The bill changes the appropriation for the aid payment from an annual
appropriation to a sum sufficient appropriation.
TRANSPORTATION
DRIVERS AND MOTOR VEHICLES
Driver's cards
Under 2007 Wisconsin Act 20, certain provisions specified in the federal REAL
ID Act of 2005 (REAL ID) were incorporated into state law and these provisions
became effective on January 1, 2013. Among these provisions was the requirement
that DOT follow certain procedures in processing applications for driver's licenses
and identification cards. However, under 2011 Wisconsin Acts 23 and 32, DOT may
process applications for driver's licenses and identification cards in a manner other
than that required by REAL ID if the driver's licenses and identification cards are
marked to indicate that they are not REAL ID compliant and DOT processes the
applications in compliance with DOT practices and procedures applicable
immediately prior to implementation of REAL ID.
Under current law, an applicant for a driver's license or identification card,
regardless of whether it is REAL ID compliant or REAL ID noncompliant, must
provide to DOT 1) an identification document that includes either the applicant's
photograph or both the applicant's full legal name and date of birth; 2)
documentation, which may be the same as item 1, above, showing the applicant's
date of birth; 3) proof of the applicant's social security number or verification that the
applicant is not eligible for a social security number; 4) documentation showing the
applicant's name and address of principal residence; and 5) documentary proof that
the applicant is a U.S. citizen or is otherwise lawfully present in the United States.
However, in processing an application for a REAL ID noncompliant driver's license
or identification card, DOT is not required to meet the standards for document
retention and verification that are imposed for REAL ID compliant products.
Under the bill, an applicant for a REAL ID noncompliant driver's license or
identification card (noncompliant REAL ID) is not required to provide documentary
proof that the applicant is a U.S. citizen or is otherwise lawfully present in the United
States. Also, an applicant may, in lieu of item 1, above, provide an individual
taxpayer identification number, a foreign passport, or any other documentation
deemed acceptable to the department and, in lieu of items 2 and 4, above, provide
documentation deemed acceptable to the department. If the applicant does not have
- 184 -
2021 - 2022 Legislature
LRB-2154/1
ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
a social security number, the applicant is required to provide verification only that
he or she does not have one, rather than verification that he or she is not eligible for
one. In processing an application for, and issuing or renewing, a noncompliant REAL
ID, DOT may not include any question or require any proof or documentation as to
whether the applicant is a U.S. citizen or is otherwise lawfully present in the United
States. The bill does not change any current law requirements related to driver
qualifications such as minimum age or successful completion of knowledge and
driving skills tests.
Under current law, most driver's licenses issued by DOT are issued for an initial
two-year period and must be renewed every eight years thereafter. In general, an
applicant for renewal of a driver's license must pass an eyesight test and have his
or her photograph taken with each renewal. Most identification cards issued by DOT
are issued for an initial period of eight years and are renewable for eight-year
periods thereafter, and applicants, generally, must have their photograph taken with
each renewal.
Under the bill, an applicant for a noncompliant REAL ID who does not provide
a social security number is issued a noncompliant REAL ID that displays, on its face,
the words “Not valid for voting purposes. Not evidence of citizenship or immigration
status." and that has a four-year renewal period rather than an eight-year renewal
period. With each renewal, DOT has discretion whether or not to take a new
photograph and, for a driver's license, give an eyesight test. However, DOT must
take a new photograph and, for a driver's license, give an eyesight test at least once
every eight years.
With limited exceptions, DOT may not disclose social security numbers
obtained from operator's license or identification card applicants. The bill prohibits
DOT from disclosing the fact that an applicant has verified to DOT that the applicant
does not have a social security number, except that DOT may disclose this
information to the Elections Commission.
The bill also prohibits discrimination on the basis of a person's status as a
holder or a nonholder of a noncompliant REAL ID, adding this license status as a
prohibited basis for discrimination in employment, housing, and the equal
enjoyment of a public place of accommodation or amusement.
Electronic renewal of operator's licenses
Under current law, most operator's licenses issued by DOT must be renewed
every eight years. In general, an applicant for renewal of an operator's license must
pass an eyesight test and have his or her photograph taken.
Under the bill, if an applicant for renewal of an operator's license, other than
a commercial driver license, meets certain requirements, the applicant may apply for
renewal, and DOT may renew the license, by electronic means. The renewal may
occur without an eyesight test and without a photograph. Licenses issued under this
procedure will be marked as REAL-ID noncompliant licenses that are not intended
to be accepted by federal agencies for federal identification or other official purposes.
Among the eligibility requirements for use of the electronic procedure are 1) that the
applicant's most recent previous license transaction was not made by electronic
means; 2) that the applicant's license is not subject to restrictions based on medical
- 185 -

SENATE BILL 111
conditions, other than a requirement that the applicant use corrective lenses; 3) that
the applicant is not more than 65 years of age; and 4) that the applicant meets any
additional criteria for eligibility established by DOT.
Driving skills test waiver
Under current law, with limited exceptions, an applicant for an operator's
license authorizing operation of “Class D" vehicles, which are automobiles and most
passenger vehicles, must successfully complete a knowledge test and a driving skills
(road) test. The bill allows DOT to waive the road test for a person if all of the
following are satisfied:
1. The person is under 18 years of age.
2. The person is applying for authorization to operate only “Class D" vehicles.
3. The person has satisfactorily completed a course in driver education.
4. The person has held an instruction permit for not less than six months.
5. The person has not committed a moving violation during the six-month
period immediately preceding application.
6. An adult sponsor of the person consents to a waiver of the driving skills test.
Operator license suspension and arrest for nonmoving violations
Under current law, if a person does not pay the forfeiture or appear in court in
response to a citation for a nonmoving violation (commonly known as a parking
ticket), the court may issue a summons for the person, order DOT to suspend the
person's vehicle registration, or issue a warrant for the person's arrest. If a person
fails to pay the forfeiture for a moving or nonmoving violation, the court may order
the person to be imprisoned until the judgment is paid, but for a time period not to
exceed 90 days. In lieu of imprisonment, the court may order that the person's
operating privilege be suspended.
The bill eliminates the option to arrest a person and suspend the person's motor
vehicle operator license for failure to pay the required forfeiture for a nonmoving
violation.
Replacement of motor vehicle registration plates
Under current law, DOT must establish new designs for plates at intervals
determined by DOT. Subsequently, DOT must issue plates with the new design at
a time determined by DOT. Plates may also be replaced upon application of a vehicle
owner in the case of lost, destroyed, or illegible plates.
Under the bill, beginning with registrations effective July 1, 2021, if the
registration for a vehicle is renewed and plates for that vehicle have not been issued
during the previous 10 years, DOT must issue two new registration plates for the
vehicle. The bill requires DOT to assess a $6.25 fee for the replacement plates.
Disclosure of records relating to identification card holders
Under current law, with certain exceptions, DOT is prohibited from disclosing
records or other information relating to applicants for, or holders of, identification
cards. The bill eliminates this prohibition.

Exemption from probationary license requirement for persons enlisted in
the U.S. armed forces
Under current law, probationary licenses are, with certain exceptions, issued
to all applicants who qualify for an original driver's license and remain in effect for
two years from the date of the licensee's next birthday. Currently, the following
persons are exempt from this requirement:
1. Certain persons who have been licensed by another jurisdiction.
2. Persons who are issued a commercial driver license.
3. Persons entitled to a regular license under a foreign license reciprocity
agreement.
Those who are exempt from the probationary license requirement are instead
issued a regular license that remains in effect for eight years after the date of
issuance.
Under the bill, a person who provides DOT with documentary proof that the
person is enlisted in the U.S. armed forces is also exempt from the probationary
license requirement.
Fee for paper registration renewal notice
Under current law, a person may not operate a vehicle on any highway unless
the vehicle is registered with DOT. At least 30 days prior to the expiration of a
vehicle's registration, DOT must mail to the registrant a notice of the date upon
which the vehicle's registration must be renewed. DOT is also authorized to test and
evaluate the effectiveness of alternative methods of processing and distributing
vehicle registration renewals. Under the bill, for a vehicle registration renewal
notice that DOT sends by mail, DOT must charge the recipient a fee of $0.33 and
deposit all such fees in the transportation fund.
HIGHWAYS
Enumeration of the I 94 east-west corridor project
Under current law, DOT may not encumber or expend any moneys for
construction of a southeast Wisconsin freeway megaproject unless the project is
enumerated by the legislature. The bill enumerates as a southeast Wisconsin
freeway megaproject the “I 94 east-west corridor project,” which is defined to mean
“all freeways, including related interchange ramps, roadways, and shoulders,
encompassing I 94 in Milwaukee County from 70th Street to 16th Street, and all
adjacent frontage roads and collector road systems.” The bill authorizes DOT to
contract up to $40,000,000 in public debt for the project.
Establishment of bikeways and pedestrian ways in highway projects
Under current law, DOT must, with exceptions, give due consideration to
establishing bikeways and pedestrian ways in all new highway construction and
reconstruction projects funded from state or federal funds.
Under the bill, with several exceptions, DOT must ensure that bikeways and
pedestrian ways are established in all new highway construction and reconstruction
projects funded from state or federal funds and must promulgate rules identifying
certain exceptions to the requirement.

Transportation revenue bonds
Under current law, the Building Commission may issue revenue bonds for
major highway projects and transportation administrative facilities in a principal
amount that may not exceed $4,055,372,900. The bill increases the revenue bond
limit to $4,359,650,700, an increase of $304,277,800.
Also, under a separate authorization, the Building Commission may issue
revenue bonds for major highway projects and transportation administrative
facilities in a principal amount that may not exceed $142,254,600. The bill
eliminates this separate authorization.
State highway rehabilitation bonding
Under current law, state highway rehabilitation projects may be funded from
various sources, including bond proceeds. Various provisions of current law
authorize specific maximum levels of general obligation bonding for these projects
and the total authorized amount of general obligation bonding available for these
projects is the cumulative amount specified in all of these provisions. Under one of
these provisions of current law, the state may contract up to $141,000,000 in public
debt to fund state highway rehabilitation projects. The bill increases this authorized
general obligation bonding limit by $278,500,000 to $419,500,000.
Design-build project bonding
Under current law, the design and construction of highway projects are
generally two distinct phases. Under this method, often referred to as
“design-bid-build,” DOT has broad authority to accomplish the design of a project.
The construction of a project must be executed by contract based on bids, with DOT
awarding the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. Alternatively, DOT may use
the “design-build” method, under which design, engineering, construction, and
related services are procured through a single contract with a single entity capable
of providing the services.
Under current law, state highway rehabilitation projects, major highway
projects, and southeast Wisconsin freeway megaprojects may be funded from various
sources, including bond proceeds. The bill provides that the state may contract up
to $20,000,000 in public debt to fund state highway rehabilitation projects, major
highway projects, and southeast Wisconsin freeway megaprojects that are delivered
using the design-build method.
Transportation project requirements
Under current law, for certain highway projects for which DOT spends federal
money, federal money must make up at least 70 percent of the funding for those
projects. DOT is required to notify political subdivisions receiving aid for local
projects whether the aid includes federal moneys and how those moneys must be
spent. For certain projects that receive no federal money, DOT may not require
political subdivisions to comply with any portion of DOT's facilities development
manual other than design standards. Any local project funded with state funds
under the surface transportation program or the local bridge program must be let
through competitive bidding and by contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The
bill repeals all of these requirements.

Specific information signs
The bill makes numerous changes to the specific information sign program
administered by DOT, under which DOT erects and maintains signs to direct
motorists to services located near certain highways.
Under current law, DOT may not authorize the erection of specific information
signs along a highway unless the highway is enumerated by the legislature. The bill
makes numerous changes to existing enumerations to reflect highway construction
and designation changes. The bill also enumerates two new highway segments.
Under current law, the annual permit fee for inclusion on a specific information
sign is $40. The bill increases the fee to $80. Current law specifies the design of
specific information signs and provides that signs may be illuminated. The bill
eliminates the reference to sign illumination.
Under current law, to be included on a specific information sign for the “FOOD”
category, a business must operate at least five days a week and be open, at a
minimum, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The bill eliminates the hours-of-service
requirement.
Current law provides that no more than four specific information signs for each
category of motorist service may be erected along an approach to an interchange or
intersection. The bill removes the specific limit on the number of allowable signs and
instead provides that the number may not exceed the number allowed under the
federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways
adopted by DOT.
Electric vehicle infrastructure program
The bill establishes an electric vehicle infrastructure program within DOT.
Under the program, DOT provides funding for electric vehicle infrastructure
projects. DOT, in consultation with DOA, determines appropriate locations for such
projects. The bill also authorizes the issuance of $5,000,000 in public debt for the
purpose of funding projects under this program.
Ray Nitschke Memorial Bridge
The bill requires DOT, in the 2021-22 fiscal year, to set aside $1,200,000 of the

TRANSPORTATION AIDS
General transportation aids
The bill increases the amount of aid DOT may provide to counties and
municipalities under the general transportation aids program. Under current law,
DOT makes aid payments to counties based on a share-of-costs formula and to
municipalities based on the greater of a share-of-costs formula or an aid rate per
mile. Under the bill, the aid rate per mile is increased to $2,681 for calendar year
2022 and $2,734 for calendar year 2023 and thereafter. The maximum amount of aid
that may be paid to counties under the program is increased to $124,647,300 for
calendar year 2022 and $127,140,200 for calendar year 2023 and thereafter. The
maximum amount of aid that may be paid to municipalities under the program is
increased to $391,173,300 for calendar year 2022 and $398,996,800 for calendar year
2023 and thereafter.
Penalty for late submission of reports related to general transportation aids
Under the general transportation aids program, counties and municipalities
with a population of 25,000 or more are required to file certain financial reports with
DOR by July 31 each year. If a county or municipality fails to file the necessary
reports by the deadline, but does file the reports within 30 days after the deadline,
the amount of aid payable to that county or municipality for the following year is
reduced by 1 percent for each day late, up to a maximum 10 percent reduction. If a
county or municipality fails to file the necessary reports within 30 days of the
deadline, the amount of aid payable to that county or municipality for the following
year is reduced by 10 percent.
Under the bill, if a county or municipality fails to file the necessary reports by
the specified deadline, but does provide the reports within 30 days after the deadline,
the amount of aid payable to the county or municipality may not be reduced by more
than $100 for each day that the necessary reports are late.
Mass transit aids amounts
Under current law, DOT provides state aid payments to local public bodies in
urban areas served by mass transit systems to assist the local public bodies with the
expenses of operating those systems. There are five classes of mass transit systems,
and the total amount of state aid payments to four of these classes is limited to a
specified amount in each calendar year. The fifth class consists of certain commuter
or light rail systems, and no state aid amounts are specified for this class.
The bill increases the total amount of state aid payments to the four classes of
mass transit systems for which state aid amounts are specified as follows:
1. For mass transit systems having annual operating expenses of $80,000,000
or more, the bill maintains the current limit of $65,477,800 in calendar year 2021 and
increases the limit to $67,114,700 in calendar year 2022 and $68,792,600 in calendar
year 2023 and thereafter.

maintains the current limit of $24,976,400 in calendar year 2021 and increases the
limit to $25,600,800 in calendar year 2022 and $26,240,800 in calendar year 2023

and increases the limit to $5,425,000 in calendar year 2022 and $5,560,600 in
calendar year 2023 and thereafter.
Transit capital assistance grants
The bill requires DOT to establish a transit capital assistance grant program,
under which DOT awards grants to eligible applicants for the replacement of public
transit vehicles.
Local infrastructure grant program
The bill establishes a local road aids for critical infrastructure grant program
within the DOT. Under the program, DOT makes grants to political subdivisions for
the reconstruction to a higher standard durability of a culvert or bridge. Bridges and
culverts eligible for grants under the program must be owned by the political
subdivision and must be at risk of being damaged by future extreme storm water
events. Grants under the program may cover up to 50 percent of the cost of the
reconstruction project. The bill also authorizes the issuance of $15,000,000 in public
debt for the purpose of making grants under this program.
Local supplement grant program
The bill creates a local supplement grant program under which DOT provides
discretionary grants to political subdivisions for projects related to bridge
construction or reconstruction or local road improvement or to local governments for
projects related to transportation alternatives, including construction of pedestrian
and bicycle facilities and environmental mitigation of highway construction.
Tribal elderly transportation grants
Current law requires DOA to transfer a portion of Indian gaming receipts to a
DOT appropriation that funds tribal elderly transportation grants. The bill
eliminates the requirement to make this transfer and replaces the DOT
appropriation that funds tribal elderly transportation grants using transferred
Indian gaming receipts with an appropriation from the transportation fund.
Town of Milton project
The bill requires DOT to award a grant of $75,000 to the town of Milton in Rock
County for the Clear Lake Road project.

RAIL AND AIR TRANSPORTATION
Freight rail preservation bonding
Under current law, the state may contract up to $280,300,000 in public debt for
DOT to acquire railroad property and to provide grants and loans for railroad
property acquisition and improvement. The bill increases the authorized general
obligation bonding limit for these purposes by $20,000,000 to $300,300,000.
Airport sound mitigation grant program
The bill requires DOT to develop and administer an airport sound mitigation
grant program. Under the program, DOT must award grants for projects that
mitigate the impact of airport sound on structures located near airports that include
a military base or installation. DOT is required to give highest priority in awarding
these grants to projects involving schools and child care centers and secondary
priority to projects involving private residences.
GENERAL TRANSPORTATION
Collection of data from traffic stops
The bill requires a law enforcement agency to collect the following information
concerning motor vehicle stops made on or after January 1, 2022: 1) the name,
address, gender, and race of the operator of the motor vehicle, with the officer
subjectively determining the person's race as being Caucasian, Black or African
American, Hispanic, American Indian or Alaska Native, or Asian or Pacific Islander;
2) the reason for the motor vehicle stop; 3) the make and year of the motor vehicle;
4) the date, time, and location of the motor vehicle stop; 5) whether or not a law
enforcement officer conducted a search of the motor vehicle, the operator, or any
passenger and, if so, whether the search was with consent or by other means; 6) the
name, address, gender, and race of any person searched; and 7) the name and badge
number of the officer making the motor vehicle stop.
The information that is collected under the bill concerning motor vehicle stops
is not subject to inspection or copying as a public record. The information, however,
must be forwarded to DOJ, which must then compile and analyze it, along with any
other relevant information, to determine, both for the state as a whole and for each
law enforcement agency, whether the number of stops and searches involving motor
vehicles operated or occupied by members of a racial minority are disproportionate
compared to the number of stops and searches involving motor vehicles operated or
occupied solely by persons who are not members of a racial minority.
Harbor assistance bonding
Under current law, the state may contract up to $152,000,000 in public debt for
DOT to provide local grants for harbor assistance and for harbor improvements such
as dock wall repair and maintenance, construction of new dock walls, dredging of
materials from a harbor, or the placement of dredged materials in containment
facilities. The bill increases the authorized general obligation bonding limit for these
purposes by $15,300,000 to $167,300,000.
Intermodal freight assistance program
Current law authorizes DOT to make grants to public or private applicants for
intermodal freight facilities that the department determines have a public purpose.

ALL:all
SENATE BILL 111
The bill provides that DOT may not make such a grant unless the grantee agrees to
provide adequate intermodal freight services at the facility funded by the grant,
subject to remedial transfer of the facility to DOT. The bill also states that the
program has a public purpose.
VETERANS
Veterans service officer grants
Under current law, DVA is required to annually award a grant to counties that
employ a full-time county veterans service officer. The grants are awarded for the
purpose of improving a county's services to veterans. The amount of each grant is
as follows: $8,500 for a county with a population of less than 20,000, $10,000 for a
county with a population of 20,000 to 45,499, $11,500 for a county with a population
of 45,500 to 74,999, and $13,000 for a county with a population of 75,000 or more.
Counties that employ a part-time county veterans service officer are eligible to
receive an annual grant not exceeding $500. DVA may also make annual grants not
to exceed $15,000 to the governing bodies of federally recognized American Indian
tribes and bands if the tribal governing body appoints a tribal veterans service
officer. The bill increases the amount of each of these grants by 5 percent.
Veterans outreach and recovery program
Under current law, DVA administers a program to provide outreach, mental
health services, and support to veterans who reside in the state who have a mental
health condition or substance use disorder. The bill directs DVA to spend at least
$100,000 annually under the program to promote suicide prevention and awareness
by providing services to individuals who are members of a traditionally underserved
population, including minority groups and individuals who reside in rural areas of
the state.
Hire Heroes program
Under current law, DWD administers the Hire Heroes program that provides
transitional jobs to veterans and reimburses employers of veterans for wages and
other related costs. In order for a veteran to be eligible to participate in the program,
he or she must be a DVA-certified veteran, be at least 18 years old, be ineligible to
participate in the Wisconsin Works program, be unemployed for at least four weeks,
and satisfy any applicable substance abuse screening, testing, and treatment.
Prospective program participants must also submit an application to the program no
later than seven years after the date of discharge from military service. The bill
removes the seven-year limit on when veterans may submit an application to the
program.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.

action is based, the court may stay such discovery in whole or in part for a period of
not more than 60 days. The court may extend the period of any such stay upon

further showing in camera by the attorney general that the state has pursued the
criminal or civil investigation of the matter with reasonable diligence and the
proposed discovery in the action brought under sub. (5) will interfere with the
ongoing criminal or civil investigation or prosecution.
(10) The attorney general may pursue a claim relating to an alleged violation
of sub. (2) through an alternate remedy available to the state or any state agency,
including an administrative proceeding to assess a civil forfeiture. If the attorney
general elects any such alternate remedy, the attorney general shall serve timely
notice of his or her election upon the person bringing the action under sub. (5), and

or settlement of the claim, depending upon the extent to which the person
contributed to the prosecution of the action or claim.

appropriate, reduce the share of the proceeds of the action that the person would

agreement to make payments set forth in the report are coercive to the birth parent
of the child or to an alleged to or presumed father parent of the child or are
