1 AN ACT to amend 48.84 (2g) (a) of the statutes; relating to: preadoption training
2 formats.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a proposed adoptive parent must complete 25 hours of
preadoption training. Of these 25 hours, six hours must be completed in person and
six hours must be targeted toward the specific needs of the child to be adopted. This
bill allows adoptive parents to complete the in-person training requirements
through a live videoconference.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
3 SECTION 1. 48.84 (2g) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
4 48.84 (2g) (a) At least 6 hours of training that is provided in person or through
