Gov. Tony Evers signed education-related legislation Friday, including a measure to tighten protections for students against strip searches and sexual misconduct.

One measure, Senate Bill 111, , was introduced in reaction to a 2022 incident in which a Suring School District employee, who was searching for vaping devices, allegedly ordered six teenage girls to undress down to their underwear. Neither the students鈥� parents or law enforcement were informed about or present at the time of the strip search.

The law redefines the meaning of 鈥渟trip search鈥� and 鈥減rivate area鈥� to include undergarments in order to protect students from any official, employee or agent of any school or school district conducting strip searches.

Rep. David Steffen (R-Green Bay), who coauthored the legislation, said in a statement that 鈥渂eing treated with dignity and basic privacy is something that every student should expect when they enter our schools.

鈥淭he event at Suring revealed a statutory loophole that needed to be closed,鈥� Steffen said. 鈥淭his bill will protect our students from experiencing such intrusive searches in the future.鈥�

Another measure, Senate Bill 333, , seeks to better protect students by making sexual misconduct against a student by any school staff member or volunteer a Class I felony. It also adds more violations to the offenses where the state superintendent would be required to revoke a license聽 without a hearing, and prohibits a licensee from ever having their license reinstated by the state superintendent if they are convicted of a crime against a child that is a Class H felony or higher or a felony invasion of privacy or sexual misconduct by a school staff person or volunteer.

Other education-related legislation includes:

SB 447, , which allows schools and school districts to get prescriptions for glucagon 鈥� a treatment for people with known Type 1 diabetes. It also allows schools to authorize school personnel to administer the glucagon to someone at school if the student鈥檚 prescribed glucagon isn鈥檛 available and grants civil liability immunity to a school and its school personnel.聽AB 223, , which provides civil immunity for schools and school personnel for administering an opioid antagonist in a school setting.聽AB 914, , which allows schools to adopt a plan for management of students who have asthma to administer a short-acting bronchodilator, for the prescription for a short-acting bronchodilator to be issued in the name of a school and grants immunity from civil liability.
