Senate Bill 10 mandates that school boards and governing boards of charter schools in Wisconsin provide military recruiters with access to public high schools, aligning with federal law requirements. Specifically, the bill stipulates that military recruiters must be allowed access to common areas of high schools during school hours and at school-sanctioned events. However, it clarifies that this does not require access to classrooms during instructional time. The bill introduces new sections to the statutes, specifically creating 118.40 (4) (ar) 3. and 120.12 (29), which outline these access requirements for military recruiters.

Additionally, the bill amends section 119.04 (1) of the statutes to include the new provision regarding military recruiters, while deleting the reference to sections (15) to (27) and adding (29). This legislative change is set to take effect during the 2025-26 school year, ensuring that military recruiters have the same access to high school students as postsecondary educational institutions and prospective employers.
