Assembly Bill 120 proposes to make the current project positions within the Office of School Safety in the Department of Justice permanent. Currently, there are 14.2 project positions set to expire on October 1, 2025, which are funded by fees from background checks for handgun sales and concealed carry licenses. The bill aims to transition these positions to be funded by general purpose revenue starting on the same date, ensuring the continuation of support for school safety initiatives.

The bill includes an increase in authorized full-time equivalent (FTE) positions for the Department of Justice by 14.2 general purpose revenue positions, effective October 1, 2025. This change is intended to enhance the office's capacity to promote and maintain school safety across Wisconsin.
