Bill Summary
This bill allows a technical college to lease its facilities to others for the operation of a child care center. Current law allows a technical college to rent to others property not needed for school purposes. Before July 1, 1999, a technical college, with the approval of the Technical College System Board, could also lease its facilities to others for school purposes, but this is prohibited after June 30, 1999. The bill creates an exception to this prohibition, allowing a technical college, with the approval of the TCS Board, to lease its facilities to others for the operation of a child care center. For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill allows technical colleges in Wisconsin to lease their facilities to others for the operation of a child care center, creating an exception to a previous prohibition that banned such leases after June 30, 1999. Under current law, technical colleges can rent property not needed for school purposes, but were generally restricted from leasing facilities to others after the specified date. The proposed legislation specifically permits technical colleges, with approval from the Technical College System (TCS) Board, to lease their facilities for child care center operations. This change provides technical colleges with more flexibility in utilizing their facilities and potentially supports local communities by enabling the establishment of child care centers on technical college campuses. The bill's initial applicability means it will take effect for any lease entered into on the date the legislation goes into effect, providing an immediate opportunity for technical colleges to implement this new leasing option.
