AB18,1,4 1An Act to repeal 16.964 (16), 20.505 (6) (kq) and (kr), 165.85 (4) (b) 1d. f. and
2349.027; and to amend 20.505 (6) (kp) of the statutes; relating to: collection
3and analysis of motor vehicle traffic stop information and law enforcement
4training standards.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, as created in 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 (the biennial budget
act), law enforcement officers must collect, at each motor vehicle traffic stop made
after December 31, 2010, all information specified by rule promulgated by the Office
of Justice Assistance (OJA) in the Department of Administration (DOA). This
information must then be submitted by the law enforcement agency to OJA. OJA
must analyze this information to determine whether the number of motor vehicle
stops and searches involving racial minorities is disproportionate compared to
nonminorities. OJA was required to submit its proposed rules to the Legislative
Council staff by February 1, 2010. The biennial budget act also required DOA to
submit a report to the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) that includes certain
information related to the development of a traffic stop information collection
system. System development cannot begin until JCF approves the report.
This bill repeals the statutory provisions of the biennial budget act relating to
the collection and analysis of traffic stop information and requires that, if the
development of a traffic stop information system has already commenced, this
system development must terminate on the effective date of the bill.

Current law, as created in the biennial budget act, also requires law
enforcement training programs to provide training designed to prevent racial
profiling or race-based discrimination as a basis for detaining, searching, or
arresting a person. The bill also repeals this training requirement.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
