On Wednesday, I came to Madison for an Assembly Committee on Health Public Hearing. We heard testimony for 5 bills, which lasted approximately 5 hours.
Here are the bills we heard about:
Assembly Bill 287
Relating to: certifications for advance directives and findings of incapacity related to powers of attorney for health care
Assembly Bill 462
Relating to: right to specific staffing arrangements for certain patients in an intensive treatment program
Assembly Bill 313
Relating to: establishing a tick-borne disease study committee
Assembly Bill 314
Relating to: increasing the number of authorized positions for the Department of Health Services and making an appropriation
Assembly Bill 317
Relating to: Department of Natural Resources' efforts to raise awareness about Lyme disease
We anticipate possibly voting on these bills in an Executive Session for Health Committee at the end of this month, as well as another public hearing on October 30th.
Let us know if you have any thoughts or questions on these bills!
Blue Books
What is the Wisconsin Blue Book?
Published biennially, the Wisconsin Blue Book is a valuable source for information about the State of Wisconsin. First published in 1853 as a manual for legislators, the Blue Book has evolved into a useful tool for the state’s residents, as well as a historical record of Wisconsin state government.
The Blue Book’s mission is to furnish the legislature and the public with information on state officers and governmental organization, along with statistical information and articles of general interest.
Get the 2019-2020 edition of the Wisconsin Blue Book by emailing our office at Rep.Vining@legis.wisconsin.gov with your name and mailing address. We'd be happy to drop off or send you a copy!
