SB 274 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: the membership of the Controlled Substances Board.

SB 274 amends the statute governing the Controlled Substances Board by adding new voting members to its composition. It requires the board to include the chairpersons of five medical examining boards (pharmacy, medical, physician assistant, dentistry, and nursing) and two appointed experts - a psychiatrist and a pharmacologist - each serving 3-year terms. This change directly affects how the board is structured, ensuring representation from key medical licensing bodies and specialized health professionals. The bill focuses on updating the board's membership to include specific clinical expertise relevant to drug regulation, without altering its core responsibilities.
