JUSTICE
Eliminating the sunset on funding for the Office of School Safety
2023 Wisconsin Act 240 increased the number of positions for the Office of School Safety in DOJ by 14.2 project positions for the period beginning on January 1, 2025, and ending on October 1, 2025, and allowed, for the same period, DOJ to fund the positions and other OSS duties using the fees that DOJ collects for issuing licenses to carry concealed weapons. This bill eliminates the sunset on using the fees so that DOJ may continue using the fees to fund positions and other OSS duties. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. 20.455 (2) (gr) of the statutes, as affected by 2023 Wisconsin Act 240, is repealed and recreated to read: 20.455 (2) (gr) Handgun purchaser record check; checks for licenses or certifications to carry concealed weapons. All moneys received as fee payments under ss. 175.35 (2i), 175.49 (5m), and 175.60 (7) (c) and (d), (13), and (15) (b) 4. a. and b. to provide services under ss. 165.28, 175.35, 175.49, and 175.60.
Section 9427. Effective dates; Justice.
(1) Repeal of sunset for positions in office of school safety. The repeal and recreation of s. 20.455 (2) (gr) takes effect on October 1, 2025, or on the day after publication, whichever is later.
