Senate 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 rules established by the Technical College System Board (TCS Board) for prioritizing admissions based on residency. It introduces a new section 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, but now also explicitly includes the ability to reserve spaces for students in protective services programs without requiring TCS Board approval.

The bill codifies the existing rule that permits technical colleges to reserve program spaces for students in special circumstances while expanding the scope to include protective services programs, which encompass law enforcement, paramedic, emergency medical technician, and firefighting services. This change aims to enhance the admission process by allowing technical colleges greater flexibility in accommodating students who are preparing for critical roles in public safety and emergency services.
