Current statutes contain a rule of procedure governing legislative action on certain bills affecting general purpose revenue (GPR). Generally, the rule provides that the amount appropriated from GPR may not exceed the amount appropriated from GPR in the prior fiscal year, increased by any percentage increase in this state's aggregate personal income. There are a number of exclusions under current law from this GPR appropriation limitation. This bill provides that any amount appropriated to pay debt service on appropriation obligations issued to purchase tobacco settlement revenues is excluded from the limitation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Correctional system
Adult correctional system
Currently, a person who is convicted of a crime is sentenced to a bifurcated sentence, which requires the person to serve a portion of his or her sentence incarcerated and a portion of the sentence in the community under extended supervision. If a person violates any condition of his or her release to extended supervision, the person's extended supervision is revoked, he or she is returned to prison, and the division of Hearings and Appeals within DOA or DOC (reviewing authority) makes a recommendation to the court that convicted the person as to how long the person should remain in prison. After it receives the reviewing authority's recommendation, the court may order the person to remain in prison for a period of time that does not exceed the time remaining on his or her bifurcated sentence.
Under this bill, the reviewing authority determines how long to imprison the person whose extended supervision is revoked and enters its own order for the person to remain in prison for a period of time that does not exceed the time remaining on his or her bifurcated sentence.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 302.113 (9) (am) of the statutes is amended to read:
302.113 (9) (am) If a person released to extended supervision under this section violates a condition of extended supervision, the reviewing authority may revoke the extended supervision of the person. If the extended supervision of the person is revoked, the person shall be returned to the circuit court for the county in which the person was convicted of the offense for which he or she was on extended supervision, and the court reviewing authority shall order the person to be returned to prison for any specified period of time that does not exceed the time remaining on the bifurcated sentence. The time remaining on the bifurcated sentence is the total length of the bifurcated sentence, less time served by the person in confinement under the sentence before release to extended supervision under sub. (2) and less all time served in confinement for previous revocations of extended supervision under the sentence. The court order returning a person to prison under this paragraph shall provide the person whose extended supervision was revoked with credit in accordance with ss. 304.072 and 973.155.
SECTION 2. 302.113 (9) (at) of the statutes is repealed.
SECTION 3. 302.113 (9) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
302.113 (9) (b) A person who is returned to prison after revocation of extended supervision shall be incarcerated for the entire period of time specified by the court order under par. (am). The period of time specified under par. (am) may be extended in accordance with sub. (3). If a person is returned to prison under par. (am) for a period of time that is less than the time remaining on the bifurcated sentence, the person shall be released to extended supervision after he or she has served the period of time specified by the court order under par. (am) and any periods of extension imposed in accordance with sub. (3).
