Assembly Bill 1103 mandates that public school teachers in Wisconsin receive minimum annual salaries based on the salary of state legislators. Specifically, it requires school boards to pay full-time teachers at least the annual legislator salary for the respective school year. Additionally, teachers with at least 10 years of experience must earn the legislator salary plus an additional $15,000, while those with 20 years of experience are guaranteed a minimum salary of $100,000. The bill also stipulates that these salary requirements are not subject to collective bargaining and that certain existing salary regulations do not apply if the school board raises wages to meet these new standards.

The bill amends the title of section 118.21 to include "minimum salaries" and creates new subsections under both sections 118.21 and 119.40 to outline the salary requirements for teachers. It clarifies that the annual legislator salary is defined as the greater of the salaries for state senators or assembly representatives for the fiscal year. The provisions of this act will take effect when any existing collective bargaining agreements or contracts that conflict with these new salary requirements expire or are modified.
