Assembly Bill 11 mandates that hospitals in Wisconsin obtain written informed consent from patients before performing pelvic examinations solely for educational purposes while the patient is under general anesthesia or otherwise unconscious. The bill establishes a new statute, 50.373, which requires this consent process, ensuring that patients are informed and agree to the examination prior to its occurrence.

Additionally, the bill creates an administrative rule under DHS 124.10, which obligates hospitals to maintain written policies and procedures that align with the informed consent requirement for these specific pelvic examinations. This legislation aims to enhance patient rights and ensure ethical practices in medical education within hospital settings. The act will take effect the day after publication, with specific provisions regarding the administrative code taking effect as outlined in existing law.
