AB563: Bill Text

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

Law Revision Committee prefatory note: This bill is a remedial legislation proposal, requested by the Department of Justice and introduced by the Law Revision Committee under s. 13.83 (1) (c) 4. and 5., stats. After careful consideration of the various provisions of the bill, the Law Revision Committee has determined that this bill makes minor substantive changes in the statutes, and that these changes are desirable as a matter of public policy.

AB563,1 Section 1. 175.60 (14) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB563,2,4 175.60 (14) (a) The department shall revoke a license issued under this section if the department determines that sub. (3) (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (g) applies to the licensee.

Note: Deletes the requirement that the Department of Justice revoke a license to carry a concealed weapon if the license holder is ordered not to possess a dangerous weapon as a condition of release on a pending criminal charge. This provision is in conflict with current law under which such a license must be suspended under these conditions and the department must restore the license upon notice that the person is no longer prohibited from possessing a dangerous weapon.

AB563,2 Section 2. 939.74 (2) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB563,3,5 939.74 (2) (c) A prosecution for violation of s. 948.02 (2), 948.025 (1) (b) (e), 948.03 (2) (a), 948.05, 948.051, 948.06, 948.07 (1), (2), (3), or (4), 948.075, 948.08, 948.085, or 948.095 shall be commenced before the victim reaches the age of 45 years or be barred, except as provided in sub. (2d).

Note: Removes the reference to an offense of engaging in repeated acts of sexual assault of the same child from the statute of limitations under which a prosecution must be commenced before the victim reaches age 45 years. This offense is also referenced in the statute of limitations for offenses for which a prosecution may be commenced at any time. This Section replaces the cross-reference with a cross-reference to another offense of engaging in repeated acts of sexual assault of the same child which currently is not specifically referenced and, therefore, is treated as felonies are in general. For felonies that are not subject to another statute of limitations, prosecution must be commenced within six years of the commission of the offense.

AB563,3 Section 3. 948.02 (1) (e) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB563,3,8 948.02 (1) (e) Whoever has sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person who has not attained the age of 13 years is guilty of a Class B felony.

Note: Adds having sexual intercourse to the offense prohibiting having sexual contact with a person who has not attained the age of 13 years. Among other offenses relating to sexual assault of a child, current law prohibits having sexual intercourse with a person who has not attained the age of 12 years and prohibits having sexual contact with a person who has not attained the age of 13 years.
