Current Legislation

CURRENT ADVOCACY ISSUES

The 2021-2023 Wisconsin State Legislative Session has brought some anticipated and many unanticipated legislative policy opportunities to our attention.  The SWSA takes positions on some of the key legislative items and will track these positions for our members.

The 2021-2023 SWSA Legislative Agenda can be viewed here:  SWSA 2021-2023 Legislative Priorities

The SWSA Bill Tracker document can be viewed here during the legislative session.  At this time, the legislative session has concluded; this information will be provided once the 2023-2025 legislative session begins.

SWSA also encourages members to utilize the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) bill tracking feature on their website to find all current legislation that is active in both the Wisconsin Assembly and the Senate.   The link to WASB's state bill tracking chart can be found at:  WASB State Bill Tracking Chart
