The following are bills signed by Governor Scott Walker that were passed into law in Wisconsin this week.
Senate Bill 231 – brings Wisconsin into compliance with federal requirements for charging resident fees to individuals receiving transferred benefits from active duty service members at technical colleges in Wisconsin. Federal law recently amended the definition of “covered individuals,” expanding the pool of students who can use transferred benefits from veterans to also include active duty uniformed service members. Authored by Senator Jerry Petrowski (R – Marathon) and Representative Ken Skowronski (R – Franklin), the bill passed the Senate on a voice vote and was concurred by the Assembly on a voice vote. It is Act 24.
