Bill Summary
Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, this bill requires school boards to include in their curricula for pupils in at least one of grades 9 to 12 instruction in human organ and blood donation. For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill requires school boards in Wisconsin to include instruction about human organ and blood donation in at least one high school grade (between 9th and 12th) beginning in the 2026-27 school year. The mandatory curriculum must cover three specific areas: the purpose of organ and blood donation, the statewide and nationwide need for donations, and the procedure for participating in donation. By mandating this instruction, the bill aims to increase awareness among high school students about the critical importance of organ and blood donation and provide them with comprehensive information about how they can potentially save lives through donation. The requirement will be added to the state's existing educational standards, ensuring that all public high schools in Wisconsin will incorporate this educational component into their curriculum starting in the 2026-27 academic year.
