The Senate Committee on Mental Health, Substance Abuse Prevention, Children and Families has scheduled a public hearing on Tuesday, November 28 at 11 a.m. on Senate Bill 597, which would require schools to notify a student's parents or guardians of every item they check out from the school library within 24 hours of check out. The requirement would apply to all students under the age of 16.
In addition, the bill requires schools to notify parents and guardians about whether or not they provide access to BadgerLink.
Public hearings are an opportunity for members of the public to provide comments on a piece of legislation. After a public hearing is held, the Committee can decide whether or not they want to advance the bill to the Full Senate for a vote.
