AB482,1,2
1An Act to create 631.87 of the statutes;
relating to: restrictions on insurer
2access to pupils' grades.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, pupil records containing a pupil's grades are confidential
and may be revealed by a school only under certain circumstances, including upon
the written permission of the parent or legal guardian of a minor pupil. This bill
prohibits an insurer from requesting or requiring a policyholder or an applicant for
insurance to reveal, or to provide permission for a school to disclose or make available
to the insurer, the grades of a minor pupil who is a child or legal ward of the
policyholder or insurance applicant. An insurer may, however, request or require a
policyholder or an applicant for insurance to reveal whether a minor pupil who is a
child or legal ward of the policyholder or applicant has at least a 3.0 grade point
average or its equivalent.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
