Assembly Bill 750 amends the current statutes regarding the admission of students to technical college programs in Wisconsin. The bill renumbers and modifies existing provisions, specifically changing the language in section 38.22 (5) to clarify that the Technical College System Board (TCS Board) will establish admission priorities for district residents, state residents who are not district residents, and out-of-state residents. Additionally, it introduces a new subsection (b) that allows district boards to adopt policies for reserving program spaces for students in special circumstances, such as hardship or school-to-work program participation, without requiring TCS Board approval.

Furthermore, the bill specifically permits district boards to reserve program spaces for students entering protective services programs, which include law enforcement, paramedic, emergency medical technician, and firefighting services. This provision aims to enhance the availability of trained professionals in critical service areas while maintaining the flexibility for technical colleges to address unique admission needs. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the admissions process and prioritize the training of students in essential service fields.
