Senate Bill 314 aims to amend the current regulations surrounding the pupil participation limit in the state parental choice program in Wisconsin. The bill proposes to repeal the sunset provision that is set to end the participation limit after the 2025-26 school year, thereby allowing the limit to continue indefinitely at 10 percent of a school district's membership. Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of the pupil participation limit by changing the applicable percentage from a variable based on the current school year to a fixed rate of 0.1.

The bill also makes specific deletions to the existing statutes, including the removal of certain provisions that outline the timeline for the participation limit's applicability. Notably, it eliminates references to the previous school years and the sunset clause, ensuring that the participation limit remains a permanent fixture in the law. Overall, this legislation seeks to provide stability and clarity regarding the participation of pupils in private schools under the parental choice program.
