Assembly Bill 110 proposes an amendment to the membership requirements of the Professional Standards Council for Teachers (PSCT) in Wisconsin. Currently, one member of the PSCT must be a person licensed as a teacher by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), employed in a tribal school, and recommended by a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in Wisconsin that operates a tribal school. The bill seeks to remove the licensing requirement, allowing for a broader selection of candidates.

Under the new provisions, the only requirements for this PSCT member would be that they are employed as a teacher in a tribal school and recommended by a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in Wisconsin. This change aims to enhance representation and inclusivity within the council by allowing individuals who may not hold a DPI license but are still qualified educators in tribal schools to participate in advising the Department of Public Instruction.
