Assembly Bill 293 seeks to amend the sunset provision of the community-oriented policing-house grant program established under 2023 Wisconsin Act 19. Currently, this program, which provides grants to cities with populations of at least 30,000, is set to expire on July 1, 2025. The proposed legislation extends the expiration date to July 1, 2027, allowing for continued funding and support for community-oriented policing initiatives.

The bill specifically modifies the language in section 9427 (1) of 2023 Wisconsin Act 19 by deleting the original sunset date of July 1, 2025, and inserting the new date of July 1, 2027. This change aims to ensure that the grant program remains operational for an additional two years, thereby enhancing community policing efforts in larger cities across Wisconsin.
