crimes
Under current law, the initial maximum term of probation for a person convicted of a single misdemeanor is two years. The minimum term of probation is six months. Under this bill, if a person is convicted of a Class A misdemeanor (for which the maximum term of imprisonment is generally nine months), the initial maximum term of probation is one year. The minimum term of probation in such a case remains six months. If a person is convicted of any other type of misdemeanor, the initial maximum term of probation is six months, and there is no minimum term. Neither of these maximum terms of probation applies, however, if the person committed the misdemeanor while possessing a firearm or if the conviction is for an act of domestic abuse, for having nonconsensual sexual contact with another person, or for a misdemeanor under chapter 948 of the statutes (which covers certain crimes against children). In such a case, the initial maximum term of probation is two years.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 939.621 of the statutes is renumbered 939.621 (2) and amended to read:
939.621 (2) If a person commits an act of domestic abuse, as defined in s. 968.075 (1) (a) and the act constitutes the commission of a crime, the maximum term of imprisonment for that crime may be increased by not more than 2 years if the crime is committed during the 72 hours immediately following an arrest for a domestic abuse incident, as set forth in s. 968.075 (5). The 72-hour period applies whether or not there has been a waiver by the victim under s. 968.075 (5) (c). The victim of the domestic abuse crime does not have to be the same as the victim of the domestic abuse incident that resulted in the arrest. The penalty increase under this section changes the status of a misdemeanor to a felony.
SECTION 2. 939.621 (1) of the statutes is created to read:
939.621 (1) In this section, "domestic abuse" has the meaning given in s. 968.075 (1) (a).
SECTION 3. 939.621 (3) of the statutes is created to read:

(a) The person committed the misdemeanor while possessing a firearm.
(b) The misdemeanor is an act of domestic abuse.
(c) The misdemeanor is a violation of s. 940.225 (3m) or ch. 948.
SECTION 4. 973.09 (1) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
973.09 (1) (a) Except as provided in par. (c) or if probation is prohibited for a particular offense by statute, if a person is convicted of a crime, the court, by order, may withhold sentence or impose sentence under s. 973.15 and stay its execution, and in either case place the person on probation to the department for a stated period, stating in the order the reasons therefor. The court may impose any conditions which appear to be reasonable and appropriate. The period of probation may be made consecutive to a sentence on a different charge, whether imposed at the same time or previously. If the court imposes an increased term of probation, as authorized under sub. (2) (a) 2. or (b) 2. or s. 939.621 (3), it shall place its reasons for doing so on the record.
SECTION 5. 973.09 (2) (a) 1. of the statutes is amended to read:
973.09 (2) (a) 1. Except as provided in subd. 2. and s. 939.621 (3), for Class A misdemeanors, not less than 6 months nor more than 2 years one year.
SECTION 6. 973.09 (2) (a) 1m. of the statutes is created to read:
973.09 (2) (a) 1m. Except as provided in subd. 2. and s. 939.621 (3), for misdemeanors not covered by subd. 1., not more than 6 months.
