Assembly Bill 32 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 provisions under 118.40 (4) (ar) 3. and 120.12 (29) that outline these access requirements.

Additionally, the bill amends section 119.04 (1) to include the new provision under 120.12 (29), while deleting references to certain subsections that are no longer applicable. The changes are set to take effect during the 2025-26 school year, ensuring that military recruiters have the necessary access to engage with students in high schools across the state.
