Senate Bill 274 proposes an amendment to the membership structure of the Controlled Substances Board in Wisconsin. Currently, the board consists of nine members, including the chairpersons of various examining boards and appointed professionals. The bill seeks to enhance the board's composition by adding the chairperson of the Physician Assistant Affiliated Credentialing Board to its membership, thereby expanding the representation of healthcare professionals involved in the regulation of controlled substances.

The specific legal language amended in the bill includes the insertion of "the chairperson of the physician assistant affiliated credentialing board" into the existing statute governing the Controlled Substances Board. This change aims to ensure that the perspectives and expertise of physician assistants are included in discussions and decisions related to the scheduling and regulation of controlled substances, as well as the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program.
