TITLE
Resolution in support of 2019 Assembly Bill 805 relating to recommendation to revoke parole, probation, and extended supervision if a person is charged with a crime.
BODY
WHEREAS, if 2019 Assembly Bill 805 is enacted into law, it would require the Wisconsin Department of Corrections to initiate a revocation proceeding when a person on extended supervision, parole, or probation is charged with a new crime; and
WHEREAS, it is important to note that this bill does not require an individual to be revoked upon committing a new crime, and it simply ensures that DOC will initiate an investigative proceeding if the offender is still under supervision to determine if revocation is appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the Wisconsin Assembly concurred in Senate Amendment 1 to Assembly Bill 805 to send this bill to the governor; and
WHEREAS, the West Allis Common Council expects the legislature and governor to support the intent of this bill;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council of the City of West Allis supports the enactment of 2019 Assembly Bill 805
