Under current law, a Wisconsin court may prosecute and punish a person under
Wisconsin law in this state for criminal conduct, if one of the following applies:
1. The person commits in Wisconsin any of the component acts that constitute
a crime.
2. While out of the state, the person aids and abets, conspires with, advises,
incites, commands, or solicits another to commit a crime in Wisconsin.
3. While out of the state, the person does an act with intent that it cause in
Wisconsin a consequence that is proscribed by Wisconsin criminal law.
4. While out of the state, the person steals property and subsequently brings
the stolen property into Wisconsin.
This bill provides that Wisconsin has jurisdiction to prosecute and punish a

information or a personal identification document while that person is outside

Wisconsin, if the victim of the alleged crime is a resident of Wisconsin, regardless of
