Relating to: fatality review teams and granting rule-making authority. (FE)

AB 192 establishes a formal framework for fatality review teams in Wisconsin to examine specific types of deaths, including homicides, overdoses, child abuse, maternal deaths, and other unexpected deaths. It creates definitions for local and state teams, requires the Department of Children and Families to coordinate these teams, and allows confidential sharing of health records with teams for review purposes. The bill specifies that healthcare providers and agencies sharing records must maintain strict confidentiality under new provisions, and clarifies which death types qualify for review (e.g., suicide, domestic violence-related deaths, stillbirths, or infant deaths). This directly affects healthcare providers, fatality review teams, and state/local agencies responsible for child welfare and public health. The legislation focuses on improving death review processes while protecting privacy through updated confidentiality rules.
