Under the substitute amendment, generally, a juvenile who is given a
correctional placement under a county department's supervision may only be placed
in a secured residential care center for children and youth. However, if a secured
residential care center for children and youth cannot meet the treatment needs of the
juvenile, the county department may place the juvenile in a different secured
residential care center for children and youth that offers more appropriate treatment
without a hearing. Similarly, if a juvenile is placed under DOC's supervision in a
secured residential care center for children and youth and the facility cannot meet
the treatment needs of the juvenile, DOC may place the juvenile in a different
secured residential care center for children and youth without a hearing. If DOC
places a juvenile at a secured residential care center for children and youth or if a
county department places a juvenile at a secured residential care center for children
and youth other than its own, the substitute amendment requires that the entity
operating the receiving secured residential care center for children and youth agree
to the placement and requires that care and services for that juvenile be provided
under a contract.
Also under the substitute amendment, a juvenile in a secured residential care
center for children and youth under the supervision of either DOC or a county
department may be placed in a Type 1 juvenile correctional facility after a hearing
if the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the Juvenile Justice Code
(juvenile court) finds that the secured residential care center cannot meet the
treatment needs of the juvenile and the Type 1 juvenile correctional facility can or
that the county's secured residential care center for children and youth does not have
space for the juvenile, and no other placement in a secured residential care center
for children and youth can be found.

Under current law, MJTC is a Type 1 juvenile correctional facility that is
operated by the Department of Health Services. Under current law, DOC can
transfer juveniles to MJTC from other Type 1 juvenile correctional facilities, with the
approval of DHS. Under the substitute amendment, a juvenile who has been placed
under the supervision of a county department in a secured residential care center for
children and youth can be placed at MJTC by the juvenile court upon the
recommendation of DHS in a change of placement hearing.
Juvenile corrections grant program.
The substitute amendment creates in DOC the Juvenile Corrections Grant
Committee, which is required to establish and administer a juvenile corrections
grant program. Under the grant program, a county may apply for one of the following
grants:
1. A grant to pay 95 percent of the costs of designing and constructing a secured
residential care center for children and youth.
2. A grant to pay 95 percent of the costs of designing and constructing a facility
that houses both a secured residential care center for children and youth and a
juvenile detention facility.
3. A grant to pay 100 percent of the costs of designing and constructing a
secured residential care center for children and youth only for female juveniles or any
portion that is only for female juveniles.
The substitute amendment provides that a grant also reimburses a successful
applicant for any design costs incurred in preparing a grant application at the same
percent as the grant covers other costs. The substitute amendment finances the
grant program with $40,000,000 in general fund supported borrowing.
The substitute amendment allows multiple counties to jointly submit a grant
application for construction of a secured residential care center for children and
youth that will hold juveniles from all of the cooperating counties. The substitute
amendment requires the committee to establish requirements, guidelines, and
criteria for the grant program but requires that, in developing a grant application,
the applicant must consider best practices in designing and operating facilities that
hold juveniles in secure custody and the feasibility of developing an existing facility,
and must solicit input on the design of the facility from judges at the juvenile court
for each county participating in the grant application. The substitute amendment
also requires the committee to favor proposals that utilize existing facilities and to
encourage multicounty coordination by favoring applications submitted jointly by
multiple counties.
Under the substitute amendment, grant applications are due March 31, 2019,
but the committee is authorized to work with applicants between that date and June
30, 2019, to modify applications in order to increase the likelihood of being awarded
a grant. The substitute amendment requires the committee, in consultation with
DOC and DCF, to develop a statewide plan that recommends which of the grant
applications to approve based on an overall view towards a Wisconsin model of
juvenile justice. The committee is prohibited from recommending approval of an
application unless DOC approves the plans and specifications for the site and the
design and construction of the facility.

The substitute amendment requires the Juvenile Corrections Grant
Committee to submit its plan to JCF no later than July 1, 2019, to request approval
to proceed with the plan. If approved, the substitute amendment requires DOC to
implement the plan by awarding the grants under the plan, and requires the
Juvenile Corrections Grant Committee to monitor the progress of the projects funded
by the grants to ensure compliance with the grant program and completion in time
to transfer juveniles from Lincoln Hills School and Copper Lake School to the new
Type 1 juvenile correctional facilities and secured residential care centers for
children and youth by January 1, 2021. Under the substitute amendment, the
Juvenile Corrections Grant Committee terminates on the earlier of the date on which
all projects funded with the grants are completed or January 1, 2021.
Juvenile detention facilities.
Under current law, a juvenile who is adjudicated delinquent may be placed in
a juvenile detention facility for any combination of single or consecutive days totaling
not more than 365 days if the county board of supervisors has adopted a resolution
authorizing such a length of placement. Under this substitute amendment, with
some exceptions, a juvenile may not be placed in a juvenile detention facility for more
than 30 consecutive days.
The substitute amendment defines an “eligible juvenile detention facility” as
a juvenile detention facility at which placements of juveniles for longer than 30 days
is authorized as of January 1, 2018. With respect to an eligible juvenile detention
facility that is awarded a grant under the substitute amendment, the limitation on
placement in a juvenile detention facility to no more than 30 days does not apply until
January 1, 2021. On that date, the portion of the facility that holds juveniles who
are placed for more than 30 days becomes a secured residential care center for
children and youth, at which juveniles may be placed under a correctional
placement. However, it remains a juvenile detention facility with respect to juveniles
placed in the juvenile detention facility prior to January 1, 2021.
Under the substitute amendment, an eligible juvenile detention facility that is
not awarded a grant is authorized to continue to accept juveniles for placement for
any combination of single or consecutive days totaling not more than 365 days if,
after January 1, 2021, the number of juveniles that are housed at the juvenile
detention facility does not exceed the number that are housed there on January 1,
2021, and if the facility is not altered or added to or repaired in excess of 50 percent
of its assessed value. If the juvenile detention facility violates these conditions, it is
no longer authorized to accept juveniles for placement for more than 30 consecutive
days.
Department of Corrections employees.
The substitute amendment authorizes some preferential treatment for
employees of Lincoln Hills School or Copper Lake School in applying for open
positions at the new Type 1 juvenile correctional facilities and secured residential
care centers for children and youth. Under the substitute amendment, a classified
employee who, on the date DOC begins accepting applications for a position at a Type
1 juvenile correctional facility is employed at the Lincoln Hills School or Copper Lake
School may apply to DOC to transfer to a position at the Type 1 juvenile correctional

facility and DOC is authorized to transfer such an employee to certain positions at
a new Type 1 juvenile correctional facility without competitive procedures.
Similarly, an applicant for a position at a secured residential care center for children
and youth operated by a county who is employed at Lincoln Hills School or Copper
Lake School on the date that the county begins accepting applications for the position
may be selected by the county without regard to the requirements of any county civil
service system that would otherwise apply. Finally, if, prior to January 1, 2021, a
county enters into a contract with a child welfare agency under which the child
welfare agency agrees to operate a new secured residential care center for children
and youth, the county shall include in the contract a requirement that the child
welfare agency grant an initial interview to any applicant for a position at the new
secured residential care center for children and youth who is an employee of Lincoln
Hills School or Copper Lake School on the date that the child welfare agency begins
accepting applications for that position.
Youth aids funding.
Current law requires Department of Children and Families to allocate to
counties various state and federal moneys to pay for juvenile correctional services
and community-based juvenile delinquency-related services (commonly referred to
as “youth aids”). Under current law, youth aids funding may not be used to pay for
land purchase, building construction, or maintenance of county buildings, for
reimbursement of costs relating to holding juveniles in secure custody, city lockups,
or temporary shelter care. Under current law, youth aids may be used to reimburse
costs of program services in juvenile detention facilities, except for the costs of basic
care and supervision. The substitute amendment removes this exception, so that
youth aids may be used to reimburse costs of basic care and supervision in juvenile
detention facilities, and adds that youth aids may be used to reimburse costs of
program services in secured residential care centers for children and youth. This
substitute amendment also requires DCF to provide a bonus payment of 15 percent
of a county's youth aids payment in the preceding year, up to $750,000, if the county
operates a joint secured residential care center for children and youth that was
funded by the juvenile corrections grant program under the substitute amendment.
