What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a school board, including the school board of the Milwaukee

Public School District, to, with limited exceptions, condition employment in the

school district on the completion of a physical examination that includes a screening

questionnaire for tuberculosis. The physical examination may be conducted by a

licensed physician, including a doctor of osteopathy, physician assistant, or advanced

practice nurse prescriber (practitioner). The practitioner must certify that the school

district employee appears to be free from tuberculosis in a communicable form.

Current law requires a school district other than the Milwaukee Public School

District to condition employment on a physical examination that includes a chest

X-ray or a tuberculin test. Current law also permits such a school district to require

additional physical examinations at intervals determined by the school district.

Under the bill, the school district, including MPS, may require a school district

employee to complete a screening questionnaire for tuberculosis at intervals

determined by the school board. If additional screening questionnaires are

administered, they may be administered by a school nurse or other registered nurse.

Under current law and this bill, freedom from tuberculosis in a communicable

form is a condition of employment.
