Assembly Bill 749 mandates that, starting in the 2026-27 school year, school boards in Wisconsin must include instruction on human organ and blood donation in the curricula for students in at least one of grades 9 to 12. The required instruction will cover the purpose of organ and blood donation, the need for donations both statewide and nationwide, and the procedures for participating in such donations.

The bill introduces a new section, 121.02 (1) (L) 9., to the statutes, which outlines these educational requirements. This initiative aims to raise awareness among high school students about the importance of organ and blood donation, potentially increasing participation in these life-saving practices.
