AB 191 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: requiring a subpoena to a law enforcement officer or tribal law enforcement officer served in official capacity to be served at the officer’s work address.

AB 191 requires that subpoenas directed at law enforcement officers or tribal law enforcement officers serving in their official capacity must be delivered only to the officer's work address, not their personal residence. This applies to all such officers as defined in existing statutes (including tribal officers under Section 165.85(2)(g)). The bill specifies three acceptable service methods: handing the subpoena to the officer, giving them a copy, or leaving a copy at their work address. It does not change the officers' duties or responsibilities but modifies the procedural requirement for subpoena delivery. This is a procedural rule affecting how legal process is served to these officers during official duties.
