2021 - 2022 LEGISLATURE

2021 Assembly BILL 1020

February 17, 2022 - Introduced by Law Revision Committee. Referred to Committee on Rules.

AB1020,1,2 An Act relating to: revising various provisions of the statutes for the purpose of making corrections and reconciling conflicts (Correction Bill).

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This correction bill, prepared by the Legislative Reference Bureau under s. 13.92 (1) (bm) 1. and 2. and (2) (i) and (L), stats., is explained in the Notes in the body of the bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

AB1020,1 Section 1. 16.417 (1) (e) 1. and 2. of the statutes are amended to read:

AB1020,1,7 16.417 (1) (e) 1. A registered nurse who is licensed under s. 441.06 or in a party state, as defined in s. 441.50 (2) (j), or, who is permitted under s. 441.08, or who holds a multistate license, as defined in s. 441.51 (2) (h), issued in a party state, as defined in s. 441.51 (2) (k).

AB1020,2,2 2. A licensed practical nurse who is licensed or has a temporary permit under s. 441.10 or who is licensed as a licensed practical/vocational nurse holds a multistate license, as defined in s. 441.51 (2) (h), issued in a party state, as defined in s. 441.50 (2) (j) 441.51 (2) (k).

Note: 2017 Wis. Act 135 repealed s. 441.50, which ratified the Nurse Licensure Compact, and created s. 441.51 to ratify the newer Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact. Act 135 did not take into account the cross-references to s. 441.50 created in s. 16.417 (1) (e) by 2017 Wis. Act 59. Consistent with other such cross-reference changes in Act 135, this Section changes cross-references to the now-repealed older compact provisions in favor of references to the new compact.

AB1020,2 Section 2. 16.423 (3) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB1020,2,6 16.423 (3) (c) For each appropriation of the state agency, an analysis of whether the appropriation contributes to the mission of the state agency and whether the objectives of the appropriation justify its expenditures.
