This bill died with 2021-2022 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Assembly Bill 832 adds provisions to increase reimbursement for law enforcement training expenses, including both preparatory training and annual recertification. Previously, only political subdivisions were reimbursed for training costs, but the new amendment allows reimbursement to be extended directly to individuals as well. This change is significant because it helps reduce the financial burden on recruits who pay for their own training upfront, making it easier for individuals to enter the law enforcement profession. Additionally, it ensures that local agencies receive adequate funding to support ongoing training for their officers.

Assembly Bill 832 Date of publication*:
A N A CT relating to:
WISCONSIN ACT A N A CT relating to:
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Under current law, the Law Enforcement Standards Board reimburses each political subdivision for approved expenses incurred by law enforcement officers, jail officers, and juvenile detention officers who complete training at board-certified schools.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in recertification training under s.
Under current law, LESB reimburses the costs associated with preparatory training for new recruits, and for the cost of annual recertification training.
This bill requires LESB to reimburse the costs of preparatory training that were paid by an individual, in addition to those costs that were paid by a political subdivision on behalf of a recruit.
Under current law, reimbursement to a political subdivision for annual recertification training must be at least $160 per officer.
The bill requires LESB to also reimburse a law enforcement agency in an amount equal to the amount sent to the political subdivision to reimburse annual recertification training costs.
The bill requires the governor to allocate funds received from the federal government pursuant to the American Rescue Plan Act to provide the reimbursements to individuals for preparatory training and to law enforcement agencies for recertification training, and to supplement reimbursements for training to political subdivisions.
Because federal law requires ARPA funding to be used by December 31, 2024, the bill sunsets both training reimbursement provisions described above on that date.
