What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Wisconsin technical college system consists of 16 technical college districts, which are administered by district boards. Each district board has the following nine members: two employers, two employees, one school district administrator, one elected state or local official, and three additional members. The employer and employee members must represent the various businesses and industries in the district. Members are appointed for three-year terms by appointment committees consisting of either county board chairs or school board presidents.

This bill changes the membership of district boards so that they consist of the following nine members: six business persons, one school district administrator, one elected state or local official, and one additional member. The bill defines "business person" as an owner, officer, director, member, manager, partner, operator, or employee of any of the following entities: 1) a business entity that is operated for profit; 2) a nonprofit hospital, clinic, or other health care organization or facility; or 3) a federal or state credit union. "Business person" is defined to also include a retired person who, prior to retirement, earned a substantial portion of his or her income as owner, officer, director, member, manager, partner, operator, or employee of any of the foregoing entities. The bill does not otherwise affect the requirements for appointing members.
