Assembly Bill 307 seeks to amend the current regulations surrounding the pupil participation limit in the state parental choice program in Wisconsin. Specifically, the bill repeals the sunset provision that would have ended 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. The bill also makes adjustments to the definitions and calculations related to the pupil participation limit, including changing the applicable percentage for the calculation from a variable percentage to a fixed rate of 0.1.

In addition to repealing the sunset clause, the bill modifies existing language to clarify that the total number of pupils from a school district who may attend a private school under the program cannot exceed the established pupil participation limit for that school year. The changes aim to provide stability and clarity to the parental choice program, ensuring that the participation limit remains in effect beyond the previously set expiration date.
