Assembly Bill 564 proposes an amendment to Wisconsin statute 118.25 (1) (a), which currently mandates that physical examinations for school employees who interact with children or handle food must be conducted by specific healthcare professionals, including physicians, naturopathic doctors, physician assistants, or advanced practice nurse prescribers. The bill seeks to expand this list by allowing chiropractors to also perform these required health examinations.

The amendment reflects a broader recognition of the qualifications of chiropractors in the context of school employee health assessments. By including chiropractors, the bill aims to increase the availability of qualified practitioners who can conduct these examinations, potentially improving access to necessary health services for school employees.
