Senate Bill 561 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 be conducted by specific licensed practitioners. The bill expands the list of qualified professionals to include chiropractors, thereby allowing them to perform these health examinations as part of the employment requirements for school staff.

This change aims to increase the pool of available healthcare providers who can conduct necessary health screenings, potentially improving access to these services for school employees. The amendment reflects a broader recognition of the role that chiropractors can play in ensuring the health and safety of individuals working in educational settings.
