What changed

Wisconsin Assembly Bill 750 was vetoed by the Governor on April 3, 2026. The bill would have renumbered and amended Wisconsin Statutes section 38.22(5) to modify provisions governing admission of students to technical college programs. The bill had passed both chambers of the legislature after committee review and Assembly Amendment 1 adoption.

No regulatory change will occur as a result of this veto. Wisconsin technical colleges should continue operating under the existing section 38.22(5) admission framework. Institutions and stakeholders should monitor for future legislative proposals on technical college admissions, as similar legislation may be reintroduced in subsequent legislative sessions.
