What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill repeals a requirement, created in

2015 Wisconsin Act 55

, that a person

correctly answer at least 60 of 100 questions on a civics test, which is identical to the

civics test required to be taken by persons seeking U.S. citizenship, as a prerequisite

to obtaining a high school diploma or high school equivalency diploma.
