VETO ITEMS
A.
AGRICULTURE, ENVIRONMENT AND JUSTICE
CIRCUIT COURTS
1.
Increased Court Fees
Section 3232r
This section increases the fee collected by clerks of courts for judgments, writs, executions, liens, warrants, awards and certificates from $5 to $10.
I am vetoing this section because I object to the doubling of a fee charged to individuals accessing services through their county court system. The effect of this veto is a return to the current law fee of $5.
2.
Recompense
Sections 3272m, 3349g, 3349r, 3362m, 3364g, 3364m, 3364r and 3395t
This provision deletes current law related to recompense. In addition, this provision allows the court to order a forfeited cash deposit to be held for a period of time determined by the court and require the cash deposit to first be applied to any restitution ordered by the court, and when that is paid in full, the cash is applied to the payment of costs.
Recompense is an order which distributes an amount of forfeited cash bail to the victim of the crime for which the bond conditions were imposed. If the defendant is convicted, any cash deposited for bond must be first applied to the payment of restitution, further assisting the victim of the crime.
I am vetoing this provision because current law provides a process by which a victim can receive payment earlier in their involvement with the criminal justice system. Crime victims may lose property, time away from work and their sense of security after being victimized and any process which helps them recover these pieces of their lives is important to maintain.
CORRECTIONS
3.
Council on Offender Reentry
This provision specifies the duties of the newly-created Council on Offender Reentry and spells out the details to be included in the annual report that the council has to submit to the Governor, any relevant state agencies and the chief clerk of each house of the Legislature.
I am partially vetoing this provision to eliminate the duty of the council to facilitate dialogue between a victim and an offender because this is not an appropriate function of the council. The language requiring the council to work to include victims in the reentry process remains. I am also vetoing the unnecessary details of the annual report. The language of the provision is too limiting and prescriptive. Instead, the council will be required to report on the progress of the council's work. This remaining language sufficiently covers the intent of the provision.
4.
Felmers Chaney Pre-Release Transition Facility
Section 2671m
This section requires the Department of Corrections to designate the Felmers Chaney Correctional Center in the city of Milwaukee as a pre-release transition facility for inmates within 5 to 12 months of release into the community. The section further details the programs to be provided at this facility.
I am vetoing this section to allow the Department of Corrections to maintain its authority and flexibility in managing resources and facilities. The Felmers Chaney Correctional Center already focuses on pre-release inmate preparation with emphasis on job preparedness.
5.
Conversion of Unit Supervisor Positions
Sections 2482m and 2666r
These sections provide that upon receiving notice from the Department of Corrections that a unit supervisor position in the Division of Adult Institutions has become vacant, the director of the Office of State Employment Relations shall reclassify the position under s.
230.09, Wisconsin Statutes, as a teacher position.
A306
I am vetoing these sections because I object to the limits they place on the department's ability to manage correctional institutions. Unit supervisors play a key role in running prisons by coordinating inmate security, health care, mental health, food service, maintenance and programming, and it is therefore essential to keep these positions in place to ensure the safety and well-being of employees and inmates in our correctional institutions.
