SB799,43 Section 43. 146.343 (1) (intro.) and (a) of the statutes are consolidated, renumbered 146.343 (1) and amended to read:

SB799,12,17 146.343 (1) In this section: (a) “Hospital", “hospital” has the meaning given in s. 50.33 (2).

Note: Removes extraneous definitions. Section 146.343 (1) (b), (c), and (d) provide definitions of “nurse,” “nurse-midwife,” and “physician” in s. 146.343, but these terms do not otherwise appear in s. 146.343.

SB799,44 Section 44. 146.343 (1) (b), (c) and (d) of the statutes are repealed.

Note: Removes extraneous definitions. Section 146.343 (1) (b), (c), and (d) provide definitions of “nurse,” “nurse-midwife,” and “physician” in s. 146.343, but these terms do not otherwise appear in s. 146.343.

Note: Inserts correct cross-reference. 1995 Wis. Act 400 renumbered s. 180.1602 (1) to s. 180.1602 (1m) and failed to change the first cross-reference in this subsection to s. 180.1602 (1m).

Note: Fixes cross-reference to accommodate the renumbering of s. 196.491 (3m) (e) 1. to s. 196.491 (3m) (e) in this bill. See Section 51 of this bill.

SB799,48 Section 48. 196.491 (3m) (c) 1. (intro.) and a. of the statutes are consolidated, renumbered 196.491 (3m) (c) 1. and amended to read:

Note: Removes extraneous definition. Section 196.491 (3m) (c) 1. b. provides a definition of “firm sale” in s. 196.491 (3m) (c), but that term does not otherwise appear in s. 196.491 (3m) (c) as a result of the repeal of s. 196.491 (3m) (c) 3. by 2019 Wis. Act. 9 and the repeal of s. 196.491 (3m) (e) 2. by this bill. See the previous Section and Section 52 of this bill.

SB799,57 Section 57. 250.20 (1) (j) of the statutes is amended to read:

Note: Removes reference to the U.S. Department of Labor. Since the enactment of P.L. 97-35 in 1981, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, the federal poverty line has been defined at 42 USC 9902 (2). 42 USC 9902 (2) establishes a process for determining the federal poverty line that does not involve any action by the U.S. Department of Labor.

SB799,58 Section 58. 255.06 (1) (e) of the statutes is amended to read:

SB799,15,15 255.06 (1) (e) “Poverty line" means the nonfarm federal poverty line for the continental United States, as defined by the federal department of labor under in 42 USC 9902 (2).

SB799,59 Section 59 . 301.19 (4) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 8, is amended to read:

SB799,16,3 301.19 (4) Unless the governor has declared a state of emergency under s. 323.10, the department of corrections may not expand the capacity of, or substantially modify the structure or physical security of, a juvenile correctional facility established under s. 301.16 (1w) without prior approval by the governing body of the city, village, or town in which the juvenile correctional facility is located.

Note: Section 301.01 (1) defines “department” for all of ch. 301 to mean “the department of corrections.” This change strikes unnecessary words to consistently use the defined term.

SB799,60 Section 60. 341.14 (8v) (title) and (8w) (title) of the statutes are repealed.

Note: The other subsections in s. 341.14 do not have titles.

SB799,62 Section 62. 345.05 (1) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:

SB799,16,17 345.05 (1) (c) “Municipality" means any county, city, village, town, school district as enumerated in s. 67.01 (5), sewer district, drainage district, commission formed by a contract under s. 66.0301 (2), and, without restriction because of failure of enumeration, any other political subdivision of the state.

Note: Strikes unnecessary phrase. 1985 Wis. Act 225 removed the enumeration of types of school districts in s. 67.01 (5), making the phrase “as enumerated in s. 67.01 (5)” unnecessary.

SB799,63 Section 63. 440.032 (1) (d) of the statutes is repealed.

Note: Removes extraneous definition. Section 440.032 (1) (d) provides a definition of “Wisconsin interpreting and transliterating assessment” in s. 440.032, but that term does not otherwise appear in s. 440.032.

SB799,64 Section 64. 440.032 (3m) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 17, is amended to read:

SB799,17,6 440.032 (3m) Exam administration in Wisconsin.

An insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, or utilization review organization shall grant an exception to the step therapy protocol if the prescribing provider submits complete, clinically relevant written documentation supporting a step therapy protocol exception request and any of the following are satisfied:
