8. Current law requires DCF to promulgate rules establishing minimum
requirements for the issuance of foster home licenses, including rules requiring all
foster parents to successfully complete training in the care and support needs of
children who have been placed in foster care. That training must be completed before
the first child is placed with the foster parent and on an ongoing basis. Current law
also requires DCF to develop a voluntary foster care education program to provide
specialized training for foster parents who provide care for children with special
treatment needs. The bill eliminates that voluntary foster care education program.
9. Current law prohibits a person who has been convicted or adjudicated
delinquent on or after his or her 12th birthday for committing a serious crime, as
defined under current law, from 1) being licensed to operate a child care center; 2)
being certified as a child care provider for purposes of reimbursement under
Wisconsin Shares; or 3) contracting with a school board to provide a child care
program (collectively, child care provider). Current law similarly prohibits such a
person from being an employee or contractor of a child care provider (caregiver) or
from being permitted to reside at a premises where child care is provided (nonclient
resident). There is an exception to these prohibitions if the person, caregiver, or
nonclient resident shows that he or she has been rehabilitated, except that current

law bars a person who has committed certain violent crimes, including armed
robbery, from showing that he or she has been rehabilitated for purposes of being a
child care provider, a caregiver, or a nonclient resident and bars a person who has
committed certain property crimes, including armed robbery, from showing that he
or she has been rehabilitated for purposes of being a child care provider, but not for
purposes of being a caregiver or a nonclient resident.
The bill eliminates armed robbery as a property crime for which a person is
barred from showing that he or she has been rehabilitated for purposes of being a
child care provider, but not for purposes of being a caregiver or a nonclient resident.
The bill, however, retains armed robbery as a violent crime for which a person is
barred from showing that he or she has been rehabilitated for purposes of being a
child care provider, a caregiver, or a nonclient resident.

Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:

3support collections trust fund, except as provided in par. (qm), all moneys received
4under s. 49.854, except for moneys received under s. 49.854 (11) (b), all moneys
5received under ss. 767.57 and 767.75 for child or family support, maintenance,
6spousal support, health care expenses, or birth expenses, all other moneys received
7under judgments or orders in actions affecting the family, as defined in s. 767.001 (1),
8and all moneys received under s. 49.855 (4) from the department of revenue or the
9department of administration that were withheld by the department of revenue or
10the internal revenue service for delinquent child support, family support, or
11maintenance or outstanding court-ordered amounts for past support, medical
12expenses, or birth expenses, for disbursement to the persons for whom the payments
13are awarded, for returning seized funds under s. 49.854 (5) (f), and, if assigned under

Note: Removes as a purpose of the support collections trust fund returning funds

AB566,23,1611 48.685 (5) (br) 3m. Except for purposes of permitting a person to be a nonclient
12resident or caregiver specified in sub. (1) (ag) 1. a. of a child care center or child care
13provider, a violation of s. 943.201, 943.203, 943.32 (2), or 943.38 (1) or (2); a violation
14of s. 943.34 (1), 943.395 (1), 943.41 (3) (e), (4) (a), (5), (6), or (6m), 943.45 (1), 943.455
15(2), 943.46 (2), 943.47 (2), 943.50 (1m), or 943.70 (2) (a) or (am) or (3) (a) that is a

Note: Removes the reference to armed robbery in violation of s. 943.32 (2), stats.,
from s. 48.685 (5) (br) 3m., stats. The reference is redundant insofar as that crime is also
referenced in s. 48.685 (5) (br) 3., stats. A review of the drafting record for 2009 Wisconsin
Act 76
indicates that a reference to s. 943.32 (2), stats., was already included in s. 48.685
(5) (br) 3., stats., when s. 48.685 (5) (br) 3m., stats., was drafted and that, therefore, the
inclusion of the reference to s. 943.32 (2), stats., in s. 48.685 (5) (br) 3m., was done in error.
