What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the governor, in appointing the two student members to the

Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin (UW) System, to select the student

members from recommendations made by elected representatives of student

governments at institutions within the UW System. Current law allows, but does

not require, the governor to select the student members from those

recommendations.
