2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE
September 4, 2009 - Introduced by Representatives Van Akkeren, Turner, Mason,
Van Roy, Townsend, Bies, Berceau, Gunderson, Smith and Spanbauer,
cosponsored by Senators Coggs, Leibham and Hopper. Referred to Committee
on Criminal Justice.
AB413,1,2
1An Act to create 939.635 of the statutes;
relating to: crimes against children
2committed by certain persons and creating a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides a number of penalty enhancement provisions that allow
a judge to increased a penalty for a crime that is committed under certain
circumstances. This bill allows a judge to increase the maximum period of
imprisonment by up to five years if a person who is licensed or certified to provide
day care commits a sexual assault against, or intentionally or recklessly causes
bodily harm to, a child for whom the person provides day care.
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 concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB413, s. 1
3Section
1. 939.635 of the statutes is created to read:
AB413,2,4

2commits a violation of s. 948.02, 948.025, 948.03 (2), or 948.03 (3) against a child for
3whom the person was providing day care, the maximum term of imprisonment for
