AB686,1,5
1An Act to amend 15.915 (2) (a), 36.25 (13m) and 36.27 (2) (b) 3. of the statutes;
2relating to: membership of the State Laboratory of Hygiene Board;
3nonresident tuition exemption for veterans; and the transfer program at the
4University of Wisconsin Medical School (suggested as remedial legislation by
5the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System).
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill changes the membership of the State Laboratory of Hygiene Board by
substituting the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the president
of the University of Wisconsin (UW) System. The bill also deletes obsolete references
and clarifies the operation of the transfer program at the UW Medical School.
Current law grants nonresident tuition exemptions for the UW System to
nonresident veterans who, among other things, were honorably discharged from
military service within four years of registering at a UW institution. This bill
changes the word "registering" to "applying."

Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.
