ASSEMBLY SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 2,
TO ASSEMBLY BILL 805
January 29, 2018 - Offered by Representative Kooyenga.
AB805-ASA2,1,3 1An Act to repeal 118.55 (2) (b); to renumber and amend 118.55 (2) (a); and to
2create
118.55 (10) of the statutes; relating to: excluding certain college credit
3in high school programs from the Early College Credit Program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This substitute amendment excludes certain college-level courses offered to
high school pupils from the Early College Credit Program.
Under the ECCP, a high school pupil, including a high school pupil attending
a private school, may enroll in an institution of higher education for the purpose of
taking one or more nonsectarian courses. Also under the ECCP, “institution of higher
education” is defined to mean an institution within the University of Wisconsin
System, a tribally controlled college, and a private, nonprofit institution of higher
education located in this state. Under the ECCP, a pupil may take the course to earn
high school credit or postsecondary credit or both. The cost of tuition for each course
is divided among the Department of Workforce Development, the school board of the
pupil's school or the governing body of the private school the pupil attends, and the
pupil. The share that each responsible party pays is dependent on whether the
course is taken for high school credit or postsecondary credit and whether a course
similar to the course taken at the institution of higher education is comparable to a
course offered by the school board or private school.
This substitute amendment provides that a course that satisfies all of the
following requirements is not a course under the ECCP:

1. The course is offered to pupils under an agreement made before, on, or after
the effective date of the substitute amendment between a school board or, for a
private school pupil, the governing body of the private school the pupil attends, and
either of the following:
a. The chancellor of one of the four-year institutions of the University of
Wisconsin System.
b. The president of a private, nonprofit postsecondary institution.
2. Instruction in the course when offered to a public school pupil takes place
in a school building in the school district or a school district facility or, when offered
to a private school pupil, in the private school.
3. The teacher who provides instruction in the course when offered to a public
school pupil is employed by the school district or, when offered to a private school
pupil, by the governing body of the private school and the teacher has been certified
or approved to teach the course by the participating University of Wisconsin System
institution or private, nonprofit postsecondary institution.
This substitute amendment also eliminates a requirement that a private
institution of higher education and a tribally controlled college notify the state
superintendent of its intent to participate in the ECCP as a condition of participating
in the ECCP.
