This new bill, authored by State Sen. Bradley, seeks to require the Department of Corrections to recommend revoking supervision for individuals charged with new crimes while under conditional release, according to the Wisconsin State Senate.
According to the Wisconsin State Legislature’s official website, the bill was described as follows: “recommendation to revoke extended supervision, parole, or probation if a person is charged with a crime. (FE)”.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill mandates that the Wisconsin Department of Corrections recommend revoking the extended supervision, parole, or probation of individuals if they are charged with a crime while under these statuses. It amends various statutory provisions to formalize this requirement across different forms of community supervision. Currently, individuals on extended supervision, parole, or probation must adhere to specific conditions, and any violations can lead to sanctions, including the possibility of revocation. The bill underscores the importance of revocation as a response to new criminal charges for individuals under conditional release. The measures in this proposed legislation will first apply to charges filed on the bill’s effective date.
The bill was co-authored by Representative Brent Jacobson (Republican-87th District), Senator André Jacque (Republican-1st District), Senator Jesse L. James (Republican-23rd District), Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District), Senator Cory Tomczyk (Republican-29th District). It was co-sponsored by Representative Bob G. Donovan (Republican-61st District), Representative Cindi Duchow (Republican-97th District), and Representative Daniel Knodl (Republican-24th District), along four other co-sponsors.
Julian Bradley has authored or co-authored another 13 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Bradley graduated from the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse in 2014 with a BS.
Bradley, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in 2021 to represent the state’s 28th Senate district, replacing previous state senator Dave Craig.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
