AB540,1,2
1An Act to create 38.04 (4) (e) 8. and 343.71 (5) (h) of the statutes;
relating to:
2driver education instruction on human trafficking.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Technical College System Board must approve courses
of study for each program offered in technical college district schools, including
driver education courses. TCSB may not approve a driver education course unless
the course includes certain content, such as acquainting students with the hazards
posed by farm machinery and animals on highways and by railroad grade crossings
and providing instruction in safely dealing with these hazards. The Department of
Transportation licenses private driver schools and DOT may not license a driver
school unless its course of instruction includes the content required for TCSB
approval of a driver education course.
Under this bill, technical college and licensed private driver school commercial
motor vehicle driver education courses must provide instruction in the recognition
and prevention of human trafficking.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
