What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.

Read the full summary

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.
