Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law grants to an aider immunity from prosecution for certain
controlled substance crimes and immunity from having probation, parole, or
extended supervision revoked for possessing a controlled substance or controlled
substance analog. Under current law, an aider is a person who summons or provides
emergency medical assistance to another person because the aider believes the other
person is suffering from an overdose or other adverse reaction to a controlled
substance or controlled substance analog. Current law also grants immunity from
prosecution or from having probation, parole, or extended supervision revoked for
possessing a controlled substance or controlled substance analog to the aided person
in this circumstance provided that the aided person completes a drug treatment
program.
The current law provisions relating to revocation of probation, parole, or
extended supervision and to aided persons are set to sunset on August 1, 2020, at
which time the law will provide to aiders immunity from prosecution only for certain
controlled substance crimes. This bill repeals the sunsetting of the provisions

relating to probation, parole, or extended supervision and aided persons so that
current law will remain in place after August 1, 2020.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SB590,1 1Section 1. 2017 Wisconsin Act 33, sections 1em, 1gm, 1im and 1y are repealed.
