The bill specifies that a dwelling that is occupied before undergoing all
inspections for compliance with the uniform dwelling code may be granted an
occupancy permit if the dwelling later passes a uniform dwelling code final
inspection. Also, if an occupancy permit for a dwelling is granted after it is occupied,
any missed inspection of the dwelling may not be listed as a finding on the occupancy
permit.

Current rules promulgated by the Department of Safety and Professional
Services generally allow a dwelling to be occupied without a uniform dwelling code
final inspection if the inspection is not completed by DSPS or a municipality within
five business days of an applicant's notification.

The bill authorizes, in certain situations, health care providers licensed in
another state or territory to provide services for which they are licensed or certified.
Under the bill, a person who satisfies certain requirements and holds a valid,
unexpired credential in another state or territory as any of the following may provide
services in this state: 1) a physician, physician assistant, or perfusionist; 2) a nurse;
3) a dentist; 4) a pharmacist; 5) a psychologist; 6) a social worker, marriage and
family therapist, professional counselor, or clinical substance abuse counselor; 7) a
chiropractor; 8) a physical therapist; 9) a podiatrist; 10) a dietitian; 11) an athletic
trainer; 12) an occupational therapist; 13) an optometrist; 14) an acupuncturist; 15)
a speech-language pathologist or audiologist; or 16) a massage or bodywork
therapist. Generally, these practitioners may practice in this state and DSPS must
grant them a temporary credential if they apply for a temporary credential within
30 days of beginning to practice for a health care employer.

The bill also specifies that a health care provider granted a temporary
credential under the bill may provide services through telehealth to a patient located
in this state.

Current law generally prohibits a person from engaging in certain health
care-related practices without holding a required credential.

Current law authorizes pharmacy students who have completed two years of
pharmacy school to administer vaccines under the supervision of a pharmacist. The
bill authorizes pharmacy students in their first or second year of pharmacy school
to administer vaccines under the supervision of a pharmacist. A first- or
second-year pharmacy student must complete 12 hours of training in vaccine
storage, protocols, administration technique, emergency procedures, and record
keeping to administer vaccines under the bill.

The bill authorizes dentists to administer COVID-19 and flu vaccines. Under
current law, generally, vaccines may be administered only by physicians, physician
assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and certain pharmacy students.

To administer COVID-19 and flu vaccines under the bill, a dentist must
complete 12 hours of training on vaccine storage, protocols, administration
technique, emergency procedures, and record keeping and must have in effect
liability insurance meeting certain requirements. A dentist may not administer a
COVID-19 or flu vaccine to a child under the age of six unless the vaccine is
administered pursuant to a prescription order and the dentist completes training
that includes administering vaccines to children under the age of six. The bill also
requires a dentist who administers a COVID-19 or flu vaccine to update the
Wisconsin Immunization Registry established by DHS within seven days of
administering the vaccine.

The bill creates an optional license for third-party logistics providers that are
located in the state or are located outside the state but provide third-party logistics
provider services in the state. A third-party logistics provider is defined under
current law as a person that contracts with a prescription drug manufacturer to
provide or coordinate warehousing, distribution, or other services on behalf of the
manufacturer but that does not take title to the manufacturer's prescription drug or
have general responsibility to direct the prescription drug's sale or disposition.

The bill requires an applicant for a third-party logistics provider license to
submit certain information prior to licensure, including proof of a recent facility
inspection, and a personal statement relating to a designated representative of the
facility. The license created by this bill will no longer apply if the federal Food and
Drug Administration establishes a licensing program for third-party logistics
providers under federal law and the Pharmacy Examining Board determines that
state licensure is not required for a resident third-party logistics provider to provide
third-party logistics services in another state.

The bill also directs the Pharmacy Examining Board to promulgate rules that
regulate third-party logistics providers and out-of-state third-party logistics
providers consistent with federal law. The authority of the Pharmacy Examining
Board to promulgate rules is restricted to only rules that are equivalent to
requirements under federal law, and only rules that do not mandate licensing under
state law.

The bill requires the Pharmacy Examining Board to issue interim licenses for
third-party logistics providers and out-of-state third-party logistics providers
between the date of enactment until permanent or emergency rules take effect,
whichever is sooner, if, in the opinion of the board, the applicant is currently in
compliance with federal law relating to third-party logistics providers. An interim
license to act as a third-party logistics provider or out-of-state third-party logistics
provider expires 90 days after the date that emergency rules take effect, or 90 days
after the date that permanent rules take effect, whichever is sooner. No fee is
required for an interim license to act as a third-party logistics provider or an
out-of-state third-party logistics provider.

Finally, the bill requires third-party logistics providers, whether or not
licensed under the bill, to cooperate with inspections of their facilities and delivery
vehicles.

The bill extends the term or duration of certain approvals that are the subject
of administrative or judicial proceedings that may result in the invalidation,
reconsideration, or modification of the approval. The terms or durations are
extended by an amount of time equal to 36 months plus the duration of the
administrative or judicial proceeding to which the covered approval is subject. The
approvals covered under the bill are, with certain exceptions, 1) unexpired permits
or approvals for construction projects issued by DSPS, the Department of Natural
Resources, the Department of Transportation, a political subdivision, or a special
purpose district and 2) plats or certified survey map approvals. The extension is
exercised by the holder of the approval notifying the governmental unit that issued
the approval of the person's decision to exercise the extension not less than 90 days
before the expiration of the unextended term or duration of the approval. In general,
the laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, or other properly adopted requirements that
were in effect at the time the approval was issued continue to apply to the
construction project, plat, or certified survey map during the period of extension.

Under current law, with exceptions, the governor is authorized to receive and
direct the expenditure of all federal funds received by the state. The bill increases
the legislature's role in approving the expenditure of federal funds that are received
by the state between the effective date of this bill and June 30, 2021 that relate to
COVID-19 activities. Under the bill, as soon as practical after the receipt of any
federal funds related to COVID-19 that are made available to the state, the governor
must submit to JCF for a 14-day passive review a plan for the expenditure of the
funds.

This bill requires the governor to submit to the legislature by January 31, 2021,
a plan to open the state capitol to the public and to have state employees return to
in-person employment.

Under current law, a late installment payment of property taxes is subject to
interest and penalties, with the interest accruing from February 1 of the year in
which the taxes are due. For property taxes payable in 2020, if an installment
payment due after April 1, 2020, is late, current law allows a municipality to
temporarily waive the interest and penalties in cases of hardship. The entire amount
due must be paid no later than October 1, 2020, and both the county and municipality
must adopt resolutions authorizing the waiver.
