AB 564 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: allowing chiropractors to perform school employee health examinations.

AB 564 updates Wisconsin law to allow chiropractors to perform health examinations required for school employees (like teachers and staff). The bill amends statute 118.25(1)(a) by explicitly adding "chiropractor" to the list of licensed professionals authorized to conduct these exams, alongside physicians, naturopathic doctors, and physician assistants. This change directly affects school employees needing these exams and chiropractors who can now legally provide them. The law does not alter exam requirements or costs but expands who may perform the exams. The bill was introduced in October 2025 and referred to the Health Committee for review.
