Senate Bill 10 aims to enhance access for military recruiters to public high schools in Wisconsin, aligning state law with federal requirements. The bill mandates that school boards and governing boards of charter schools allow military recruiters access to common areas of high schools during school hours and at school-sanctioned events. However, it explicitly states that recruiters are not permitted to enter classrooms during instructional time. This legislation is designed to ensure that military recruiters have the same access to students as postsecondary educational institutions and prospective employers.

The bill includes amendments to existing statutes, specifically amending section 119.04 (1) to include new provisions regarding military recruiters, and creating sections 118.40 (4) (ar) 3. and 120.12 (29) that outline the access requirements for military recruiters. The initial applicability of this act is set for the 2025-26 school year, ensuring that schools are prepared to comply with the new regulations.
