AB405,1,2
1An Act to create 118.02 (7w) of the statutes;
relating to: special observance
2days in schools.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill adds September 11 to the list of special observance days that apply to
general school operations. Current law provides a list of 21 special observance days,
including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day; Susan B. Anthony's birthday;
Environmental Awareness Day; Bullying Awareness Day; and Veterans Day. Under
current law, a special observance day must be appropriately observed when school
is held on that day or, if the day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, on the school day
immediately preceding or following the special observance day. The bill specifies
that September 11 is a day to remember the attacks that occurred on September 11,
2001, and to honor law enforcement officers and fire fighters.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
