SB 1142 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: grants for emergency notification systems that are accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing pupils and making an appropriation. (FE)

This bill creates a grant program to help school districts install or upgrade emergency notification systems that are accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing students. It authorizes $1 million in funding for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years to reimburse school districts for the costs of making these systems accessible. The bill establishes that grants cannot exceed the actual amount a district spends on installation or upgrades. Although the bill was introduced in March 2026, it failed to pass the Senate and did not become law.
