SB420,1,2 1An Act to amend 15.405 (7) (b) 3. of the statutes; relating to: requirements for
2membership on the Medical Examining Board.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires three of the members of the Medical Examining Board
(board), in the Department of Safety and Professional Services, to be public
members. Current law also prohibits the public members from being engaged in any
profession or occupation concerned with the delivery of physical or mental health
care. This bill increases the number of public members on the board to five members,
and requires that three of the public members of the board be representatives of
private sector businesses having at least 100 employees.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
