3) The term of community supervision must equal at least 25% of the length
of the term of confinement in prison.
Thus, for example, if a person is convicted of a Class B felony committed on or
after December 31, 1999, and a judge sentenced the person to the maximum
allowable 40-year term of confinement in prison, the term of community supervision
would have to be at least ten years but could not be more than 20 years.
After the person completes the term of confinement in prison portion of the
sentence, he or she serves the term of community supervision in which he or she is
subject to conditions set by both the court and the department of corrections (DOC)
and is subject to supervision by DOC. If a person violates a condition of community
supervision, community supervision may be revoked and the person may be returned
to serve a period of time in prison.
If a person is sentenced to life imprisonment for a crime committed on or after
December 31, 1999, he or she is not eligible for parole. Instead, the judge who is
sentencing the person to life imprisonment must do one of the following: 1) provide
that the person is eligible for community supervision after serving 20 years; 2) set
a date on which the person becomes eligible for community supervision, as long as
that date requires the person to serve at least 20 years; or 3) provide that the person
is not eligible for community supervision. If the court provides that the person is
eligible for community supervision, the person may petition the sentencing court for
release to community supervision on or after the community supervision eligibility
date. A person sentenced to life who is released to community supervision is on
community supervision for the remainder of his or her life and, like a person on
community supervision under a bifurcated sentence (see above), may have his or her
community supervision revoked and be returned to prison if he or she violates a
condition of community supervision. The bill does not affect persons sentenced to life
imprisonment without the possibility of parole under the "three strikes, you're out"
or "two strikes, you're out" laws.
3. What this bill does. This bill eliminates the sentencing procedure created
in 1997 Wisconsin Act 283. Thus, under the bill a prison sentence for a felony that
is committed on or after the date the bill becomes law will be structured in the same
way as prison sentences for offenses committed before December 31, 1999.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
