2009 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Health and human services
Mental illness and developmental disabilities
Under current law, if a court has reason to doubt the competency of a criminal defendant, the court may require the defendant to be examined to determine whether the person is competent to proceed to trial. If the examiner determines that the person is not competent, but may attain competency with treatment, the court must suspend the criminal proceedings and commit the defendant to the custody of DHS for placement in an appropriate mental health institution for up to 12 months, or for the maximum sentence specified for the most serious offense with which the defendant is charged, whichever is less. This bill reduces the commitment time to a maximum of six months, or the maximum sentence specified for the most serious offense with which the defendant is charged, whichever is less.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 322.0767 (1) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:

971.14 (5) (a) If the court determines that the defendant is not competent but is likely to become competent within the period specified in this paragraph if provided with appropriate treatment, the court shall suspend the proceedings and commit the defendant to the custody of the department of health services for the department to determine whether treatment shall occur in an appropriate institution designated by the department, or in a community-based treatment conducted in a jail or a locked unit of a facility that has entered into a voluntary agreement with the state to serve as a location for treatment, or as a condition of bail or bond, for a period of time not to exceed 12 6 months, or the maximum sentence specified for the most serious offense with which the defendant is charged, whichever is less. Under this subsection, the department of health services may commence services to a person in jail but shall, as soon as possible, transfer that person to an institution or provide services to the person in a nonjail setting consistent with this subsection. Days spent in commitment under this paragraph are considered days spent in custody under s. 973.155.
SECTION 3. 971.14 (5) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
971.14 (5) (b) The defendant shall be periodically reexamined by the department of health services examiners. Written reports of examination shall be furnished to the court 3 2 months after commitment, 6 months after commitment, 9 months after commitment and within 30 days prior to the expiration of commitment. Each report shall indicate either that the defendant has become competent, that the defendant remains incompetent but that attainment of competency is likely within the remaining commitment period, or that the defendant has not made such progress that attainment of competency is likely within the remaining commitment period. Any report indicating such a lack of sufficient progress shall include the examiner's opinion regarding whether the defendant is mentally ill, alcoholic, drug dependent, developmentally disabled, or infirm because of aging or other like incapacities.
SECTION 4. 971.14 (5) (d) of the statutes is amended to read:
971.14 (5) (d) If the defendant is receiving medication the court may make appropriate orders for the continued administration of the medication in order to maintain the competence of the defendant for the duration of the proceedings.
