Current Session: 2023-2024

The Policy, Budget, and Research (PBR) team reviews and monitors key legislation affecting K-12 schools, school and public libraries, and the department's operations. An overview of all education and library related bills introduced in the 2023-2024 session will be available on this web page beginning February 7, 2023, and will be updated regularly. The spreadsheet will contains links to the bills, fiscal estimates prepared by the department for bills (as they become available), the department's position on bills, and related acts and act summaries, when legislation is signed into law. 

The PBR team works closely with the department's Legislative Liaison in monitoring legislation. The Legislative Liaison can answer legislative questions or concerns. Legislative inquiries should be directed to Legis.Inquiry@dpi.wi.gov.
