(2) A failure to provide a right, service or notice to a victim under this chapter or ch. 938 or under article I, section 9m, of the Wisconsin constitution is not a ground for an appeal of a judgment of conviction or sentence and is not grounds for any court to reverse or modify a judgment of conviction or sentence.History:  1997 a. 181.

WI Stat § 950.11 (2021)
2021 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations|Chapter 950 - Rights of victims and witnesses of crime.|950.11 - Penalties.

950.11  Penalties. A public official, employee or agency that intentionally fails to provide a right specified under s. 950.04 (1v) to a victim of a crime may be subject to a forfeiture of not more than $1,000.History:  1997 a. 181.NOTE:  In Gabler v. Crime Victims Rights Board, 2017 WI 67, the Supreme Court held this section to be unconstitutional as applied to judges.By subjecting a circuit court judge to quasi-judicial proceedings under s. 950.09, issuing a decision that bore the imprimatur of disciplinary authority, and concluding that the judge violated a victim's statutory and constitutional rights as a matter of law, the crime victims rights board intruded on the supreme court's exclusive authority to reprimand judges. Therefore this section and s. 950.09 (2) (a), (c), and (d) and (3) cannot constitutionally apply to judges because those sections invade 2 exclusive aspects of judicial authority: the judicial power vested in the unified court system and the disciplinary function vested in the court. Gabler v. Crime Victims Rights Board, 2017 WI 67, 376 Wis. 2d 147, 897 N.W.2d 384, 16-0275.

2021 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations|Chapter 951 - Crimes against animals.|951.015 - Construction and application.

951.015  Construction and application. (1) This chapter may not be interpreted as controverting any law regulating wild animals that are subject to regulation under ch. 169, the taking of wild animals, as defined in s. 29.001 (90), or the slaughter of animals by persons acting under state or federal law. (2) For purposes of enforcing this chapter as to wild animals subject to regulation under ch. 169, a conservation warden has the same powers and duties that a law enforcement officer has under this chapter. (3) This chapter does not apply to:(a) Teaching, research, or experimentation conducted pursuant to a protocol or procedure approved by an educational or research institution, and related incidental animal care activities, at facilities that are regulated under 7 USC 2131 to 2159 or 42 USC 289d.(b) Bona fide scientific research involving species unregulated by federal law.

By prohibiting a subset of takings — those that controvert ch. 29 — the legislature necessarily conveys its belief that there are takings that do not controvert ch. 29. State v.
