9and Advocacy; participation in a public library system; and the appropriation

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Second Chance Partnership
Under current law, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) makes
payments to Second Chance Partnership, a nonprofit corporation operating a

program in which children at risk participate in apprenticeships while earning high
school diplomas. This bill eliminates a nonstatutory reference to 2005 Wisconsin Act
25
, section 9137 (3q); that section provided funding in the 2005-06 and 2006-07
school years to the Second Chance Partnership to create a pilot work-based learning
program.
Name changes
Under current law, there is within DPI a Division for Libraries, Technology, and
Community Learning. Under this bill, the name of the division is changed to the
Division for Libraries and Technology.
Under current law, DPI must maintain a Reference and Loan Library to
supplement the collections of other libraries in the state by providing certain special
materials that are not generally available from local libraries or other local or
state-level resource providers and to provide certain information services to other
libraries in the state and state employees. This bill changes the name of the
Reference and Loan Library to the Resources for Libraries and Lifelong Learning
Service.
This bill changes the name of the Division for Learning Support, Equity and
Advocacy in DPI to the Division for Learning Support.
Participation in a public library system
Under current law, a municipal, county, or joint public library may participate
in a public library system if it has a written agreement with the system board to
provide to any system resident the same library services that are provided to the
residents of the municipality or county that established the member library, with two
exceptions: a municipal, county, or joint public library may give preference to its
residents in group programs and may provide remote access to a library's database
only to its residents.
Current law also provides that a public library system is eligible for state aid
if it has written agreements to provide to any system resident the same library
services that are provided to the residents of the municipality or county that
established the member library, with one exception: the system may give preference
to its residents in group programs.
This bill reconciles these two provisions. The bill provides that a public library
system is eligible for state aid if it has the written agreements with all of its member
libraries that are required by law for the member libraries to participate in the
system.
Educare Center of Milwaukee
Under current law, money is appropriated to DPI for aid for children-at-risk
programs. 2005 Wisconsin Act 25 directed DPI to pay certain amounts from this
appropriation to the Educare Center of Milwaukee during the 2005-07 fiscal
biennium. This bill eliminates this dated material from the appropriation.
