What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, as created in 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 (the biennial budget act), law enforcement officers must collect, at each motor vehicle traffic stop made after December 31, 2010, all information specified by rule promulgated by the Office of Justice Assistance (OJA) in the Department of Administration (DOA). This information must then be submitted by the law enforcement agency to OJA. OJA must analyze this information to determine whether the number of motor vehicle stops and searches involving racial minorities is disproportionate compared to nonminorities. OJA was required to submit its proposed rules to the Legislative Council staff by February 1, 2010. The biennial budget act also required DOA to submit a report to the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) that includes certain information related to the development of a traffic stop information collection system. System development cannot begin until JCF approves the report.
This bill repeals the statutory provisions of the biennial budget act relating to the collection and analysis of traffic stop information and requires that, if the development of a traffic stop information system has already commenced, this system development must terminate on the effective date of the bill.

Current law, as created in the biennial budget act, also requires law enforcement training programs to provide training designed to prevent racial profiling or race-based discrimination as a basis for detaining, searching, or arresting a person. The bill also repeals this training requirement.
