Relating to: allowing chiropractors to perform school employee health examinations.
SB 561 amends Wisconsin statute 118.25(1)(a) to explicitly allow licensed chiropractors to perform health examinations required for school employees (such as teachers and staff). The bill adds chiropractors to the list of authorized health professionals - alongside physicians, naturopathic doctors, and physician assistants - who can conduct these exams. This change directly affects school employees needing medical clearances for employment and school district hiring processes. The provision clarifies existing law without altering exam requirements or costs. (118.25(1)(a) amended per bill text, introduced Oct. 24, 2025).
