What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
The bill specifies that, until the earlier of the conclusion of a national emergency declared by the U.S. president in response to the 2019 novel coronavirus or June 30, 2021, a physician or nurse anesthetist for whom Wisconsin is not a principal place of practice but who is temporarily authorized to practice in Wisconsin may fulfill financial responsibility requirements by filing with the commissioner of insurance a certificate of insurance for a policy of health care liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized in a certain jurisdiction specified in the bill. Additionally, under those same circumstances, the physician or nurse anesthetist may elect to be covered by Wisconsin's health care liability laws. These liability insurance provisions were enacted in 2019 Wisconsin Act 185 but expired with the expiration of the state of emergency related to public health declared on March 12, 2020, by the governor.
