AB 931 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: grants to HealthNet of Rock County, Inc.; a reference to generalized public health nursing programs; and updating terminology from “advanced practice nurse prescriber” to “advanced practice registered nurse” (suggested as remedial legislation by the Department of Health Services).

AB 931 updates Wisconsin's healthcare statutes by changing the term "advanced practice nurse prescriber" to "advanced practice registered nurse" in multiple sections, aligning with current professional standards. It provides a $50,000 grant to HealthNet of Rock County, Inc., a local health organization. The bill also clarifies that local health boards may employ public health nurses to lead generalized public health nursing programs. These changes affect advanced practice nurses, local health departments, and organizations like HealthNet by standardizing terminology and funding. The bill takes effect September 1, 2026.
