AB 545 Wisconsin Assembly · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Relating to: technical college district board membership.

AB 545 proposed changes to the composition of the board of directors for Wisconsin's technical college districts. The bill aimed to adjust how members are selected or appointed to ensure broader representation within these educational institutions. Although the legislation passed the legislature, it was vetoed by the Governor and did not become law. Consequently, the original membership structure for these districts remains unchanged.
