What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under the existing Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program, a CASA is an individual who is appointed by the children's court in a proceeding relating to a child who is alleged to be in need of protection or services (CHIPS). The CASA's role is to gather information and make observations about the child and the child's family environment, make regular contact with the child, monitor the family's compliance with the permanency plan and any court orders and any agency's provision of necessary services, promote the best interest of the child, and provide information about these observations to the court. Currently, the Wisconsin Court- Appointed Special Advocate Association coordinates CASA programs in 13 counties.
This bill increases funding to the CASA program by $6.8 million in the 2023-24 fiscal biennium to expand the existing CASA program, to create two new CASA county programs in 2023, and to create two new CASA county programs in 2024.
