Related statute or rule:
None.
Plain language analysis:
Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter Chir 3 currently includes a requirement for CPR certification every two years. Every renewal period, licensees are required to also file evidence with the Department that they are certified in CPR or have been granted a waiver from the Chiropractic Examining Board. The CPR requirement is not required by Wisconsin statutes; however, it has been considered beneficial to the practice of Chiropractic for many years as a licensure requirement. The Board conducted an evaluation of ch. Chir 3 and has determined to remove the requirements relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Wisconsin Administrative Code. Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation:
None.
Comparison with rules in adjacent states:
Illinois: Illinois does not require a certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a requirement for licensure and renewal of Illinois chiropractic licenses.

Michigan: Michigan does not require a certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a requirement for licensure and renewal of Michigan chiropractic licenses.
Minnesota: Minnesota does not require a certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a requirement for licensure and renewal of Minnesota chiropractic licenses.
