What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires a school board other than the school board of the Milwaukee
Public School District to, with limited exceptions, condition employment in the
school district on the completion of a health examination that includes a screening
questionnaire for tuberculosis. Current law requires such a school district to
condition employment on a physical examination that includes a chest X-ray or a
tuberculin test. Under current law and this bill, freedom from tuberculosis in a
communicable form is a condition of employment.
