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 the removal of references to the applicable percentage for the current school year and replacing it with a fixed value of 0.1.

In addition to repealing the sunset clause, the bill amends existing statutes 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. This change aims to provide stability and predictability for school districts regarding the number of students who can participate in the parental choice program, ensuring that the limit remains in effect beyond the previously set expiration date.
