Assembly Bill 191 proposes a modification to the procedure for serving subpoenas to law enforcement officers and tribal law enforcement officers in Wisconsin. The bill stipulates that such subpoenas must be served exclusively at the officer's work address, rather than at their home or other locations. This change aims to ensure that subpoenas are delivered in a manner that is consistent with the official capacity of these officers. The bill outlines that service can be accomplished by exhibiting and reading the subpoena to the officer, providing a copy directly to the officer, or leaving a copy at the officer's work address.

The new legal language created under section 885.035 clarifies the definitions of "law enforcement officer" and "tribal law enforcement officer" as per existing statutes. It also explicitly states that the previous general provisions for serving subpoenas, as outlined in section 885.03, do not apply to these specific cases, thereby establishing a distinct protocol for serving subpoenas to law enforcement personnel.
