AB 9 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: allowing representatives of certain federally chartered youth membership organizations to provide information to pupils on public school property.

AB 9 allows representatives from specific federally chartered youth organizations (like those in U.S. Code titles 36, chapters 301, 309, 311, 709, or 803) to provide information to students on public school property. It requires school principals to schedule at least one designated time during the start of each school term for these organizations to share details about their educational and civic programs. The bill directly affects public schools (including charter schools) and students, with the goal of encouraging student participation in these youth organizations. It takes effect for the 2026-27 school year and does not alter existing school policies on other activities.
