AB130: Bill Text

AB130,254,21 (b) Except as provided in s. 901.05, neither common law nor statutory rules of evidence are binding at a waiver hearing under s. 938.18, a hearing for a juvenile held in custody under s. 938.21, a hearing under s. 938.296 (4) for a juvenile who is alleged to have violated s. 940.225, 948.02, 948.025, 948.05 or 948.06, a dispositional hearing, or a hearing about changes in placement, revision of dispositional orders or extension of dispositional orders. At those hearings, the court shall admit all testimony having reasonable probative value, but shall exclude immaterial, irrelevant or unduly repetitious testimony or evidence that is inadmissible under s. 901.05. Hearsay evidence may be admitted if it has demonstrable circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness. The court shall give effect to the rules of privilege recognized by law. The court shall apply the basic principles of relevancy, materiality and probative value to proof of all questions of fact. Objections to evidentiary offers and offers of proof of evidence not admitted may be made and shall be noted in the record.

AB130,255,2 (5) On request of any party, unless good cause to the contrary is shown, any hearing under s. 938.209 (1) (e) or 938.21 (1) may be held on the record by telephone or live audio-visual means or testimony may be received by telephone or live audio-visual means as prescribed in s. 807.13 (2).

AB130,255,17 (6) If a man who has been given notice under s. 938.27 (3) (b) 1. appears at any hearing for which he received the notice, alleges that he is the father of the juvenile and states that he wishes to establish the paternity of the juvenile, the court shall refer the matter to the state or to the attorney responsible for support enforcement under s. 59.458 (1) for a determination, under s. 767.45, of whether an action should be brought for the purpose of determining the paternity of the juvenile. The court may stay the proceedings under this chapter pending the outcome of the paternity proceedings under ss. 767.45 to 767.60 if the court determines that the paternity proceedings will not unduly delay the proceedings under this chapter and the determination of paternity is necessary to the court's disposition of the juvenile if the juvenile is found to be in need of protection or services. As part of the proceedings under this chapter, the court may order that a record be made of any testimony of the juvenile's mother relating to the juvenile's paternity. A record made under this subsection is admissible in a proceeding to determine the juvenile's paternity under ss. 767.45 to 767.60.

AB130,256,4 938.30 Plea hearing. (1) Except as provided in this subsection, the hearing to determine the juvenile's plea to a citation or a petition under s. 938.12, 938.125 or 938.13 (12), or to determine whether any party wishes to contest an allegation that the child is in need of protection or services under s. 938.13 (4), (6), (6m), (7) or (14) shall take place on a date which allows reasonable time for the parties to prepare but is within 30 days after the filing of a petition or issuance of a citation for a juvenile who is not being held in secure custody or within 10 days after the filing of a petition or issuance of a citation for a juvenile who is being held in secure custody.

Nonpetitioning parties, including the juvenile, shall be granted a continuance of the plea hearing if they wish to consult with an attorney on the request for a substitution of a judge.

AB130,256,15 (3) If a petition alleges that a juvenile is in need of protection or services under s. 938.13 (4), (6), (6m), (7) or (14), the nonpetitioning parties and the juvenile, if he or she is 12 years of age or older or is otherwise competent to do so, shall state whether they desire to contest the petition.

AB130,256,19 (4) If a delinquency petition under s. 938.12, a civil law or ordinance violation petition or citation under s. 938.125, or a petition alleging that the juvenile is in need of protection or services under s. 938.13 (12) is filed, the juvenile may submit any of the following pleas:

AB130,256,22 (a) Admit some or all of the facts alleged in the petition or citation, however, such a plea is an admission only of the commission of the acts and does not constitute an admission of delinquency.

AB130,256,25 (b) Deny the facts alleged in the petition or citation. If the juvenile stands mute or refuses to plead, the court shall direct entry of a denial of the facts alleged in the petition or citation on the juvenile's behalf.

AB130,257,2 (bm) Plead no contest to the allegations, but only if the court permits the child to enter that plea.

AB130,257,6 (c) Except pursuant to a petition or citation under s. 938.125, state that he or she is not responsible for the acts alleged in the petition by reason of mental disease or defect. This plea shall be joined with an admission under par. (a), a denial under par. (b) or a plea of no contest under par. (bm).

AB130,257,13 (5) (a) If there is probable cause to believe that the juvenile has committed the alleged offense and if there is reason to doubt the juvenile's competency to proceed, or if the juvenile enters a plea of not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect, the court shall order an examination under s. 938.295 and shall specify the date by which the report must be filed in order to give the district attorney or corporation counsel and the juvenile's counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the report.

If the court has found probable cause to believe that the juvenile has committed the alleged offense and reason to doubt the juvenile's competency to proceed, the hearing to determine whether the juvenile is competent to proceed shall be held no more than 10 days after the plea hearing for a juvenile who is held in secure custody and no more than 30 days after the plea hearing for a juvenile who is not held in secure custody.

If the court determines that the juvenile is competent, the court shall terminate the juvenile's commitment or dispositional order and resume the delinquency proceeding.

AB130,260,6 3. If the juvenile is receiving psychotropic medication, the court may make appropriate orders for the continued administration of the psychotropic medication in order to maintain the competence of the juvenile for the duration of the proceeding.

AB130,262,21 (4) The court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law relating to the allegations of a petition under s. 938.12, 938.125 or 938.13. In cases alleging a juvenile to be delinquent or in need of protection or services under s. 938.13 (12), the court shall make findings relating to the proof of the violation of law and to the proof that the juvenile named in the petition committed the violation alleged.

AB130,264,4 (e) Any period of delay resulting from the imposition of a consent decree.

AB130,264,6 (f) Any period of delay resulting from the absence or unavailability of the juvenile.

AB130,264,25 (3) Failure to comply with any time limit specified in this chapter does not deprive the court of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or of competency to exercise that jurisdiction. If a party does not comply with a time limit specified in this chapter, the court may grant a continuance under sub. (2), dismiss the petition with or without prejudice, release the juvenile from secure or nonsecure custody or from the terms of a custody order or grant any other relief that the court considers appropriate.

The court may establish terms and conditions applicable to the parent, guardian or legal custodian, and to the juvenile, including any of the conditions specified in subs. (1d), (1g) and (1t). The order under this section shall be known as a consent decree and must be agreed to by the juvenile if 10 years of age or older; the parent, guardian or legal custodian; and the person filing the petition under s. 938.25.

The court may allow any other person to make or submit a statement under this subdivision. Any statement made under this subdivision must be relevant to the consent decree.

AB130,266,2 2. Before entering into a consent decree in a proceeding in which a juvenile is alleged to be delinquent under s. 938.12 or to be in need of protection or services under s. 938.13 (12), the district attorney or corporation counsel shall attempt to contact any known victim or family member of a homicide victim to inform that person of the right to make a statement under subd. 1. Any failure to comply with this subdivision is not a ground for discharge of the juvenile, parent, guardian or legal custodian from fulfilling the terms and conditions of the consent decree.

AB130,266,13 (1d) If the petition alleges that the juvenile has committed an act that would constitute a misdemeanor if committed by an adult, if the chief judge of the judicial administrative district has approved under s. 973.11 (2) a volunteers in probation program established in the juvenile's county of residence and if the judge or juvenile court commissioner determines that volunteer supervision under that volunteers in probation program will likely benefit the juvenile and the community, the judge or juvenile court commissioner may establish as a condition under sub. (1) that the juvenile be placed with that volunteers in probation program under such conditions as the judge or juvenile court commissioner determines are reasonable and appropriate. These conditions may include, but need not be limited to, any of the following:

AB130,266,16 (a) A directive to a volunteer to provide for the juvenile a role model, informal counseling, general monitoring and monitoring of the conditions established by the judge or juvenile court commissioner, or any combination of these functions.

(1) any of the following:

AB130,267,4 (a) That the juvenile participate in outpatient treatment from an approved treatment facility for alcohol and other drug abuse, if an alcohol and other drug abuse assessment that conforms to the criteria specified under s. 938.547 (4) was completed under s. 938.295 (1).

AB130,267,9 (b) That the juvenile participate in a court-approved pupil assistance program provided by the juvenile's school board or a court-approved alcohol or other drug abuse education program. The juvenile's participation in a court-approved pupil assistance program under this paragraph is subject to the approval of the juvenile's school board.

AB130,267,15 (1r) If the conditions of the consent decree provide for an alcohol and other drug abuse outpatient treatment program under sub. (1g) (a), the juvenile or, if the juvenile has not attained the age of 12, the juvenile's parent, guardian or legal custodian shall execute an informed consent form that indicates that they are voluntarily and knowingly entering into a consent decree for the provision of alcohol and other drug abuse outpatient treatment.

AB130,268,3 (1t) (a) 1. Subject to subd. 3., if the petition alleges that the juvenile committed a delinquent act that has resulted in damage to the property of another, or in actual physical injury to another excluding pain and suffering, the judge or juvenile court commissioner may require the juvenile, if the juvenile is 10 years of age or older, as a condition of the consent decree, to repair the damage to property or to make reasonable restitution for the damage or injury if the judge or juvenile court commissioner, after taking into consideration the well-being and needs of the victim, considers it beneficial to the well-being and behavior of the juvenile. Any consent decree that includes a condition of restitution shall include a finding that the juvenile alone is financially able to pay and may allow up to the date of the expiration of the consent decree for the payment. Objection by the juvenile to the amount of damages claimed shall entitle the juvenile to a hearing on the question of damages before the amount of restitution is made part of the consent decree.

AB130,268,9 2. In addition to any other employment or duties permitted under ch. 103 or any rule or order under ch. 103, a juvenile who is 10 to 13 years of age who is participating in a restitution project provided by the county may, for the purpose of making restitution under the consent decree, be employed or perform any duties under any circumstances in which a juvenile 14 or 15 years of age is permitted to be employed or to perform duties under ch. 103 or any rule or order under ch. 103.

AB130,268,11 3. Under this paragraph, a judge or juvenile court commissioner may not order a juvenile who is 10 to 13 years of age to make more than $250 in restitution.

AB130,268,14 (b) If the juvenile has attained the age of 10, the judge may require the juvenile to participate in a supervised work program or other community service work under s. 938.34 (5g) as a condition of the consent decree.

AB130,268,17 (2) (a) A consent decree shall remain in effect for up to one year unless the juvenile, parent, guardian or legal custodian is discharged sooner by the judge or juvenile court commissioner.

AB130,268,24 (c) Upon the motion of the court or the application of the juvenile, parent, guardian, legal custodian, intake worker or any agency supervising the juvenile under the consent decree, the court may, after giving notice to the parties to the consent decree and their counsel, if any, extend the decree for up to an additional 6 months in the absence of objection to extension by the parties to the initial consent decree. If the parent, guardian or legal custodian objects to the extension, the court shall schedule a hearing and make a determination on the issue of extension.

AB130,269,6 (3) If, prior to discharge by the court, or the expiration of the consent decree, the court finds that the juvenile or parent, legal guardian or legal custodian has failed to fulfill the express terms and conditions of the consent decree or that the juvenile objects to the continuation of the consent decree, the hearing under which the juvenile was placed on supervision may be continued to conclusion as if the consent decree had never been entered.

AB130,269,12 (4) No juvenile who is discharged by the court or who completes the period of supervision without reinstatement of the original petition may again be proceeded against in any court for the same offense alleged in the petition or an offense based on the same conduct, and the original petition shall be dismissed with prejudice. Nothing in this subsection precludes a civil suit against the juvenile or parent for damages arising from the juvenile's conduct.

AB130,269,16 (5) A court which, under this section, elicits or examines information or material about a juvenile which would be inadmissible in a hearing on the allegations of the petition may not, over objections of one of the parties, participate in any subsequent proceedings if any of the following applies:

AB130,269,19 (a) The court refuses to enter into a consent decree and the allegations in the petition remain to be decided in a hearing where the juvenile denies the allegations of delinquency.

AB130,269,21 (b) A consent decree is granted but the petition under s. 938.12 or 938.13 is subsequently reinstated.

AB130,270,2 (6) The judge or juvenile court commissioner shall inform the juvenile and the juvenile's parent, guardian or legal custodian, in writing, of the juvenile's right to object to the continuation of the consent decree under sub. (3) and of the fact that the hearing under which the juvenile was placed on supervision may be continued to conclusion as if the consent decree had never been entered.
