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 two 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.

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 represented in the board's discussions and decisions regarding the scheduling and regulation of controlled substances and the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program.
