and Miller, cosponsored by Senators Robson,

AB694,1,3 1An Act to amend 440.03 (11m) (c) and 440.14 (5) (b) of the statutes; relating
2to:
the disclosure of information about licensed nurses to the coordinated
3licensure information system.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Wisconsin has adopted the Nurse Licensure Compact, which requires the
member states to participate in the coordinated licensure information system. The
system is a cooperative effort by the member states to create a coordinated data base
of all licensed registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, all disciplinary
actions taken against licensed nurses, and all denials of nurse licensure. However,
current law prohibits the department of regulation and licensing and the board of
nursing from disclosing the name, social security number, telephone number, or
street address of any licensee who informs the department or the board that he or
she does not want such information disclosed. This bill allows the department and
the board to disclose such information about licensed nurses and about persons
whose applications for nurse licensure were denied to the coordinated licensure
information system.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB694, s. 1 4Section 1. 440.03 (11m) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:
