This bill died with 2023-2024 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Vetoed by Governor Tony Evers (Democratic) on March 29, 2024.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill AB 1065 now explicitly prohibits University of Wisconsin institutions and technical colleges from requiring students or faculty to sign loyalty pledges related to political ideologies or movements, including those concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion. This change ensures that admissions, funding for student organizations, and faculty hiring decisions cannot be based on a person's political beliefs. This is significant as it aims to safeguard academic freedom and promote an inclusive environment free from political pressure.
