Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend 972.11 (1); to create 885.035, 971.23 (12) and 972.11 (5) of the statutes; relating to: requiring a subpoena to certain officials to be served at the official’s work address.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any subpoena served on a law enforcement officer, tribal law enforcement officer, public officer, or public employee, when their testimony relates to actions taken in their official capacity or within the scope of their employment, must be served at their work address, which is defined as the primary location of their employer where they were employed at the time of the events in question. This change amends existing statutes to ensure these officials are served with legal documents at their official place of work, rather than their personal residence, and clarifies definitions for these roles and addresses within the context of legal proceedings.
