Juvenile Correctional System
1. Closing Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake schools
This bill makes certain changes to the grant program for the design and construction of new secured residential care centers for children and youth (SRCCCYs) under 2017 Wisconsin Act 185. Act 185 created a grant program for counties to construct new SRCCCYs for the purpose of holding in secure custody juveniles who are adjudicated delinquent and given a correctional placement. Act 185 formed a juvenile corrections grant committee, including three members appointed from each house of the legislature. This bill requires that one member appointed from each house must be a member of the minority party. Under Act 185, grant applications are due by March 31, 2019, and plan recommendations must be submitted to the Joint Committee on Finance by July 1, 2019. This bill extends the grant program deadlines by three months, so that applications are due by June 30, 2019, and plan recommendations are due to the Joint Committee on Finance by October 1, 2019. Act 185 also required the current juvenile correctional facility owned and operated by the Department of Corrections (Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake schools) to be closed no later than January 1, 2021, or when all of the juveniles that are held there are transferred to the new county-run SRCCCYs or a new state-run juvenile correctional facility, also funded by and required under Act 185. This bill removes the deadline for closing Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake schools and for constructing the new SRCCCYs and new state-run juvenile correctional facility.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
