AB 38

This bill creates an application fee exemption for veterans and members of the

U.S. armed forces applying for admission to University of Wisconsin System schools

or technical colleges.

Under current law, a student who is a service member must be given priority

in registering for courses at UW System schools and technical colleges. A “service

member” is defined as a person who has served or is serving on active duty under

honorable conditions in the U.S. armed forces, in forces incorporated as part of the

U.S. armed forces, in the national guard, or in a reserve component of the U.S. armed

forces.

Under this bill, a UW System school or technical college may not charge an

application fee to a service member applying for admission to the UW System school

or technical college or to any program offered at the school or technical college.
