Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill repeals a prohibition enacted as part of 2023 Wisconsin Act 12 under which a local health officer may not issue a mandate to close a business in order to control an outbreak or epidemic of communicable disease for longer than 30 days unless the governing body of the political subdivision in which the order is intended to apply approves an extension, which may not exceed 30 days. The bill eliminates those restrictions.
