9under s. 51.13 (4) or 51.20, the court finds that commitment under this chapter is not
10warranted and that the subject individual is a fit subject for guardianship and
11protective placement or services, the court may, without further notice, appoint a
12temporary guardian for the subject individual and order temporary protective
13placement or services under ch. 55 for a period not to exceed 30 days. If the court

11are in need of protective services. These Except as provided in s. 49.45 (30m) (a),

services should, to the maximum degree of feasibility under programs, services
13and resources that the county board of supervisors is reasonably able to provide
14within the limits of available state and federal funds and of county funds required

16citizens, and at the same time protect the individual from exploitation, abuse and
17degrading treatment. This chapter is designed to establish those services and assure
18their availability to all persons when in need of them, and to place the least possible
19restriction on personal liberty and exercise of constitutional rights consistent with
20due process and protection from abuse, exploitation and neglect.

SB44, s. 1509 11Section 1509. 55.06 (8) (intro.) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB44,654,912 55.06 (8) (intro.) Before ordering the protective placement of any individual,
13the court shall direct a comprehensive evaluation of the person in need of placement,
14if such an evaluation has not already been made. The court may utilize available
15multidisciplinary resources in the community in determining the need for
16placement. The board designated under s. 55.02 or an agency designated by it shall
17cooperate with the court in securing available resources. Where applicable by reason
18of the particular disability, the appropriate board designated under s. 55.02 or an
19agency designated by it having responsibility for the place of legal residence of the
20individual as provided in s. 49.001 (6) shall make a recommendation for placement.
21If the court is considering placement of the individual in a center for the
22developmentally disabled, the court shall request a statement or testimony from the
23department regarding whether the placement is appropriate for the person's needs
24and whether it is consistent with the purpose of the center under s. 51.06 (1) unless
25testimony was provided by the department under sub. (5)
. If the individual has a

1developmental disability and the court is considering placement of the individual in
2an intermediate facility or a nursing facility, the court shall request a statement or
3testimony from the county department of the individual's county of residence that is
4participating in the program under s. 46.278 as to whether the individual's needs
5could be met in a noninstitutional setting
. A copy of the comprehensive evaluation
6shall be provided to the guardian, the guardian ad litem, and to the individual or
7attorney at least 96 hours in advance of the hearing to determine placement. The
8court or the cooperating agency obtaining the evaluation shall request appropriate
9information which shall include at least the following:
SB44, s. 1510 10Section 1510. 55.06 (9) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB44,655,2211 55.06 (9) (a) The court may order protective services under s. 55.05 (2) (d) as
12an alternative to placement. When ordering placement, the court, on the basis of the
13evaluation and other relevant evidence, shall order the appropriate board specified
14under s. 55.02 or an agency designated by it to protectively place the individual.
15Placement by the appropriate board or designated agency is subject to s. 46.279 and
16shall be made in the least restrictive environment consistent with the needs of the
17person to be placed and with the placement resources of the appropriate board
18specified under s. 55.02. Factors to be considered in making protective placement
19shall include the needs of the person to be protected for health, social, or
20rehabilitative services; the level of supervision needed; the reasonableness of the
21placement given the cost and the actual benefits in the level of functioning to be
22realized by the individual; the limits of available state and federal funds and of
23county funds required to be appropriated to match state funds; and the
24reasonableness of the placement given the number or projected number of
25individuals who will need protective placement and given the limited funds

1available. The Except as provided in s. 49.45 (30m), the county may not be required
2to provide funding, in addition to its funds that are required to be appropriated to
3match state funds, in order to protectively place an individual. Placement under this
4section does not replace commitment of a person in need of acute psychiatric
5treatment under s. 51.20 or 51.45 (13). Placement Subject to s. 46.279, placement
6may be made to such facilities as nursing homes, public medical institutions, centers
7for the developmentally disabled under the requirements of s. 51.06 (3), foster care
8services and other home placements, or to other appropriate facilities but may not
9be made to units for the acutely mentally ill. If the appropriate board or designated
10agency proposes to place an individual who has a developmental disability in an
11intermediate facility or a nursing facility under an order under this paragraph, the
12county department shall develop a plan under s. 46.279 (4) and furnish the plan to
13the board or agency and to the individual's guardian. The board or agency shall place
14the individual in a noninstitutional community setting in accord with the plan unless
15the court finds that to do so is not in the individual's best interests. If the individual
16or the individual's guardian rejects the plan, the court shall take the rejection into
17consideration in determining whether or not the placement is in the individual's best
18interests.
The prohibition of placements in units for the acutely mentally ill does not
19prevent placement by a court for short-term diagnostic procedures under par. (d).
20Placement in a locked unit shall require a specific finding of the court as to the need
21for such action. A placement facility may transfer a patient from a locked unit to a
22less restrictive environment without court approval.
SB44, s. 1511 23Section 1511. 55.06 (9) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB44,656,2024 55.06 (9) (b) Transfer may be made between placement units or from a
25placement unit to a medical facility other than those specified in pars. (c) to (e) by a

1guardian or placement facility without approval by a court. When transfer is made
2by a placement facility, 24 hours' prior written notice of the transfer shall be provided
3to the guardian, when feasible. If it is not feasible to notify the guardian in advance,
4written notice shall be provided immediately upon transfer, and notice shall also be
5provided to the court and to the board designated under s. 55.02 or an agency
6designated by it within a reasonable time, not to exceed 48 hours from the time of the
7transfer. Upon petition to a court by a guardian, ward, or attorney, or other
8interested person specifying objections to a transfer, or if the person is transferred
9to an intermediate facility or to a nursing facility
, the court shall order a hearing,
10within 96 hours after filing of the petition or, if the person is transferred to an
11intermediate facility or to a nursing facility, within 96 hours after the transfer
, to
12determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the transfer is consistent
13with the requirements specified in par. (a) and is necessary for the best interests of
14the ward. The court shall notify the ward, guardian, and petitioner of the time and
15place of the hearing, and a guardian ad litem shall be appointed to represent the
16ward. If the person is an adult who is indigent, the county of legal settlement shall
17be liable for guardian ad litem fees. If the person is a child, the person's parents or
18the county of legal settlement shall be liable for guardian ad litem fees as provided
19in s. 48.235 (8). The petitioner, ward, and guardian shall have the right to attend,
20and to present and cross-examine witnesses.

24court and appropriate board designated under s. 55.02 or an agency designated by
25it in the manner prescribed in par. (b). Upon petition by a guardian, ward or attorney,

1or other interested person specifying objections to the transfer or if the person has

9residence of the person that is participating in the program under s. 46.278, at least
1090 days before the review. The county department so notified shall develop a plan
11under s. 46.279 (4) and furnish the plan to the court that ordered the placement and
12to the person's guardian. The court shall order that the person be transferred to the
13noninstitutional community setting in accordance with the plan unless the court
14finds that to do so is not in the person's best interests. If the person or the person's
15guardian rejects the transfer, the court shall take the rejection into consideration in
16determining whether or not the transfer is in the person's best interests.

20placement, or the court may order such protective services as may be required. If an
21individual who has a developmental disability is ordered, under this paragraph, to
22be temporarily placed in an intermediate facility or in a nursing facility, and if at the
23hearing for permanent placement the court orders that the individual be protectively
24placed, the court may, before permanent placement, extend the temporary placement
25order for not more than 60 days if necessary for the county department that is
