January 12, 2017 - Introduced by Representative Ott, by request of Department of Public Instruction. Referred to Committee on Judiciary.

AB13,1,4 An Act to repeal 115.33 (4), 118.035 (5), 118.38 (4) and 121.91 (5) (b); to renumber 121.91 (5) (a); and to amend 115.28 (43) and 118.57 (2) of the statutes; relating to: repealing outdated or expired reporting requirements (suggested as remedial legislation by the Department of Public Instruction).

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates a number of expired or outdated reporting requirements imposed on the Department of Public Instruction. Eliminated in this bill are a requirement to submit a report to the legislature and to the governor, by January 1, 2001, and January 1, 2003, regarding DPI's progress in securing school safety funding; a requirement to submit to the standing committees of the legislature a report summarizing the physical condition and capacity of the state's public schools; and a requirement to submit, by July 1, 2005, a report to the standing committees of the legislature on the imposition of school uniforms by school boards.

The bill also corrects an incorrect cross-reference in a provision requiring the department to provide notice of educational options.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
