The Honorable Ben Brancel
Speaker of the Assembly
211 West, State Capitol
Madison, WI 53702
Dear Speaker Brancel:
Assembly Bill 153, introduced by Representatives Goetsch, Walker, Ladwig, Porter and Johnsrud, relates to the temporary placement of young adult offenders at a juvenile secure correctional facility; notification of the general public concerning sex offenders; increasing the number of private businesses that lease space in state prisons or correctional institutions operated by the department of corrections; contacts with private persons for the transfer and confinement of state prisoners in institutions located in another state; providing an exemption from rule-making procedures; and making appropriations. Passage of this bill at the earliest practicable date is vital to the safe and efficient operation of the Wisconsin correctional system.
Assembly Bill 153 contains a fiscal note in excess of $10,000. Pursuant to sec. 16.47(2), Stats., I consider this bill an emergency bill and ask that passage of Assembly Bill 153 be permitted prior to passage of the budget bill.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Tommy G. Thompson
Governor
