Assembly Bill 21 amends the statutes related to technical colleges in Wisconsin, specifically addressing the leasing of facilities. Currently, technical colleges are prohibited from leasing their facilities for school purposes after June 30, 1999. However, this bill introduces an exception that allows technical colleges to lease their facilities to others for the operation of a child care center, provided they receive approval from the Technical College System Board.
The specific legal language amended in the bill states that while the district board may not enter into a lease for school purposes after the specified date, it can now do so for the operation of a child care center. This change aims to enhance the availability of child care services in the community while utilizing existing technical college facilities. The bill will take effect for leases entered into on or after the effective date of the legislation.
