Wisconsin Legislature: 35,343

Note: Effective January 1, 1997, ch. 144 was renumbered in its entirety by 1995 Wis. Act 227 into several new chapters. This provision is renumbered to ch. 299, “General Environmental Provisions", because its subject matter does not closely match the subject matter of any of the other new chapters and to correspond with the renumbering of ss. 144.78 and 144.783 by this bill.

35,332 Section 332 . 146.0255 (2) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Acts 386 and 448, is amended to read:

146.0255 (2) Testing. Any hospital employe who provides health care, social worker or intake worker under ch. 48 may refer an infant to a physician for testing of the infant's bodily fluids for controlled substances or controlled substance analogs if the hospital employe who provides health care, social worker or intake worker suspects that the infant has controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids because of the mother's use of controlled substances or controlled substance analogs while she was pregnant with the infant. The physician may test the infant to ascertain whether or not the infant has controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids, if the physician determines that there is a serious risk that there are controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids because of the mother's use of controlled substances or controlled substance analogs while she was pregnant with the infant and that the health of the infant may be adversely affected by the controlled substances or controlled substance analogs. If the results of the test indicate that the infant does have controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids, the physician shall make a report under s. 46.238.

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 448 changed the term “controlled substances" to “controlled substances or controlled substance analogs" throughout this section. 1995 Wis. Act 386 added a reference to “controlled substances", but that act did not take the treatment by Act 448 into account.

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 440 stated that it created s. 165.76 (2) (b) 4., but that provision already existed in identical form except that Act 440 changed “3." to “3m." This treatment is to clarify that the Act 440 version of s. 165.76 (2) (b) 4. replaces the previously existing version.

Act 27 transferred the enforcement of this section from the department of industry, labor and human relations (DILHR) (now industry, labor and job development) to the department of development (now commerce). 1995 Wis Act 330, which inserted the reference to DILHR, did not take into account the treatment of s. 167.10 by Act 27.
