SB 928

This bill addresses the scope of practice of health care providers and practice

by health care providers from other states, as follows:

within the extent of his or her individual education, training, and experience.

Current law generally prohibits a person from engaging in certain health

care-related practices without holding a required credential.

2. The bill prohibits the Department of Safety and Professional Services and

all credentialing boards from reprimanding a health care provider or denying,

limiting, suspending, or revoking the credential of a health care provider for

providing a health care service in a regulated health care setting, such as a hospital,

clinic, long-term care facility, or other regulated setting. This provision applies only

if the following are satisfied: 1) the health care service provided by a health care

provider is within the provider's education, training, and experience; and 2) the

health care service is provided at the direction of an attending physician or under a

written policy issued by a regulated health care setting.

3. The bill allows a health care provider from another state to practice a health

care profession in Wisconsin if the health care provider holds in good standing a

license, certificate, or registration granted by another state that authorizes the

person to practice that profession. These health care providers are considered to

have a credential in this state.

The bill's provision's apply only during the public health emergency declared

on March 12, 2020, by executive order 72.
