Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires a high school pupil to earn 1.5 credits in physical education in order to be eligible for a high school diploma. This bill authorizes a school board to grant a pupil credit in physical education for participating in an extracurricular sport if the sport is watched by a person who is licensed to teach physical education.

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

AB68, s. 1 Section 1. 118.33 (1) (e) of the statutes is created to read:

AB68,1,6 118.33 (1) (e) A school board may grant a pupil credit in physical education under par. (a) 1. for participating in an extracurricular sport if the sport is watched by a person who is licensed to teach physical education.
