What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law allows the governing body of any city, village, town, or county to adopt an ordinance for the appointment of adult school crossing guards. Current law also allows a school district to appoint adult school crossing guards if the school board adopts a resolution to do so and the governing bodies of all of the cities, villages, and towns located in whole or in part within the school district approve.
Under this bill, a school district may determine to appoint adult school crossing guards unilaterally; approval by the cities, villages, and towns located in the school district is unnecessary.
