14moneys transferred under this paragraph to the appropriation account under par.
15(kc), no moneys may be expended from this appropriation for the purposes specified
16in par. (kc).
Note: As a result of using the wrong version of the statute text, the cross-reference

AB845,3,218 23.0917 (5g) (a) Except as provided in pars. (b) and, (c), (d), and (e), if for a given

Note: 2017 Wis. Act 59 created s. 23.0917 (5g) (d) and (e), which contain exceptions
to the provisions of s. 23.0917 (5g) (a), but which were inadvertently not noted in s.

Note: 1987 Wis. Act 264 replaced “registration” and “certificates of registration”
for nurses with “licensure” and “licenses” in s. 441.06 (1). The reference in s. 48.981 (2m)
(b) 1., as created by 1987 Wis. Act 27, was not changed accordingly.

AB845,20 15Section 20. 77.54 (14) (a) and (14m) of the statutes are amended to read:
AB845,5,1816 77.54 (14) (a) Prescribed for the treatment of a human being by a person

2to a person for treatment of diabetes as directed by a physician shall be deemed
3dispensed on prescription.
Note: The registration of pharmacists was eliminated by 1985 Wis. Act 146 in
favor of licensure. The term “licensed pharmacist” is not regularly used in the statutes
as under s. 450.03 (1), “no person may engage in the practice of pharmacy or use the title

10services on the operation and effectiveness of the charter school. The director shall
11include in the report an evaluation of the effectiveness of the charter school on
12long-term student recovery outcomes.
Note: There is no s. 118.40 (3o) (cm). Drafting records show that 2017 Wis. Act 30
was intended to require a written report on the operation and effectiveness of the charter
school authorized by the act. The authorization of that charter school is provided for
under s. 118.40 (2x) (cm).
AB845,23 13Section 23. 119.04 (1) of the statutes, as affected by 2017 Wisconsin Act 59,

18to 118.04, 118.045, 118.06, 118.07, 118.075, 118.076, 118.10, 118.12, 118.125 to

1118.19, 118.196, 118.20, 118.223, 118.225, 118.24 (1), (2) (c) to (f), (6), (8), and (10),

5(38), and (39), 120.137, 120.14, 120.20, 120.21 (3), and 120.25 are applicable to a 1st
6class city school district and board but not, unless explicitly provided in this chapter
7or in the terms of a contract, to the commissioner or to any school transferred to an
8opportunity schools and partnership program.
Note: There is no s. 120.13 (39). A preliminary version of the bill enacted as 2017
Wis. Act 59
created a provision numbered s. 120.13 (39) that was removed from the bill
as enacted. The cross-reference was not removed accordingly.
AB845,24 9Section 24. 125.27 (2) (am) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB845,7,1210 125.27 (2) (am) An applicant for a permit under par. (a) shall provide proof that
11the vessel is certified by the U.S. coast guard, classed by the American bureau of
12shipping, or covered by liability insurance.
Note: Adds comma consistent with current style and to maintain parallel
structure with s. 125.51 (5) (c) 1m. See Section 25 of this bill.
AB845,25 13Section 25 . 125.51 (5) (c) 1m. of the statutes is amended to read:

15proof that the vessel is certified by the U.S. coast guard, classed by the American
16bureau of shipping, or covered by liability insurance.
Note: Inserts correct cross-reference and makes structure consistent with a
parallel provision, s. 125.27 (2) (am). Section 125.51 (5) (c) 1. authorizes the issuance of
a “Class B" permit authorizing the sale of intoxicating liquor for consumption on any
vessel. Section 125.51 (5) (a) authorizes the Department of Revenue to issue “Class B"
permits to clubs that are operated solely for the playing of golf or tennis. Adds comma
consistent with current style.
AB845,26 17Section 26. 227.116 (1r) and (2) of the statutes are amended to read:
AB845,8,318 227.116 (1r) Each proposed rule submitted to the legislative council staff under
19s. 227.15 that includes a requirement for a business to obtain a permit shall specify

1the number of business days, calculated beginning on the day a permit application
2is received, within which the agency will review and make a determination on a
3permit application.
AB845,8,8 4(2) If any existing rule does not comply with sub. (1r), the agency that
5promulgated the rule shall submit to the legislative council staff a proposed revision
6of the rule that will bring the rule into compliance with sub. (1r). The legislative
7council staff's review of the proposed revision is limited to determining whether or
8not the agency has complied with this subsection.
Note: Corrects agency name.
AB845,27 9Section 27. 227.24 (4) of the statutes, as affected by 2017 Wisconsin Act 57,
10is amended to read:
AB845,8,1911 227.24 (4) Public hearing. Notwithstanding sub. (1) (a) and (b) and in addition
12to any preliminary public hearing and comment period held under sub. (1) (e) 1d., an
13agency shall hold a public hearing within 45 days after it promulgates a rule under
14sub. (1). If within that 45-day period the agency submits to the legislative council
15staff under s. 227.15 a proposed rule corresponding to the rule under sub. (1), it shall
16hold a public hearing on both rules within 90 days after promulgation of the rule
17under sub. (1), or within 30 days after the agency receives the report on the proposed
18rule prepared by the legislative council staff under s. 227.15 (2), whichever occurs
19later.
Note: Corrects agency name.
AB845,28 20Section 28. 254.158 (2) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB845,8,2121 254.158 (2) (b) A nurse registered, permitted or licensed under ch. 441.
Note: 1987 Wis. Act 264 replaced “registration” and “certificates of registration”
for nurses with “licensure” and “licenses” in s. 441.06 (1). There is no current provision
for registration of nurses under ch. 441.
AB845,29 22Section 29. 340.01 (5m) of the statutes is repealed.

Note: Section 340.01 (5m) defines “bike route” in s. 23.33 and chs. 340 to 349 and
351, but the term does not appear in that section or those chapters.
AB845,30 1Section 30. 440.08 (2) (a) (intro.) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB845,9,42 440.08 (2) (a) (intro.) Except as provided in par. (b) and in ss. 440.51, 442.04,

4463.25 and subch. II of ch. 448, the renewal dates for credentials are as follows:
Note: Inserts correct cross-reference. The cross-reference to s. 449.18 (2) (d) was
inserted by 2005 Wis. Act 297, which created s. 449.18 (2) (e) and did not affect s. 449.18
(2) (d). Section 449.18 (2) (e) provides for a certificate that does not require renewal in
certain situations and thus does not have a renewal date. Section 449.18 (2) (d) relates
to an initial issuance fee and does not relate in any way to the renewal of a credential.
AB845,31 5Section 31. 440.45 (1) (title) of the statutes is repealed.
Note: The other subsections of s. 440.45 do not have titles.

AB845,33 7Section 33 . 441.01 (1) of the statutes is renumbered 441.001 (1g) and amended
8to read:
AB845,9,109 441.001 (1g) In this subchapter, “board" Board. “Board” means the board of
10nursing.
Note: Moves the definition for more logical placement. Section 441.001 is a section
consisting only of definitions applying to subch. I of ch. 441, including s. 441.01. A title
is added consistent with the remainder of s. 441.001.
AB845,34 11Section 34. 441.115 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB845,9,1712 441.115 (1) This chapter may not be construed to affect nursing by friends,
13members of the family, or undergraduates in a school approved by the board, nor be
14construed to interfere with members of religious communities or orders having
15charge of hospitals or taking care of the sick in their homes, except that none of those
16persons may represent himself or herself as a registered, trained, certified, or
17graduate nurse unless registered licensed under this subchapter.
