reciprocal credentials.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill expands provisions allowing individuals who hold a license,
certification, registration, or permit that was granted by another state to apply for
and receive a reciprocal credential in this state.
Under current law, an individual may not engage in certain professions or
assume certain titles in this state unless the individual holds a credential issued by
the Department of Safety and Professional Services or a credentialing board with
authority to oversee the profession or practice. In certain circumstances, an
individual who holds a license, certification, or registration from another jurisdiction
that authorizes or qualifies the applicant to perform acts that are substantially the
same as those acts authorized by a Wisconsin credential may obtain a “reciprocal
credential.” Current law generally provides two methods for obtaining a reciprocal
credential:
1. Under one of numerous provisions allowing DSPS or a credentialing board
to grant a reciprocal credential if certain conditions are met. These provisions do not
exist for every profession, and generally require that the requirements in the other
jurisdiction in which the individual is licensed, certified, or registered have
requirements that are similar to or substantially equivalent to those under
Wisconsin law.
2. Under a “universal” provision that requires DSPS or a credentialing board
to issue a reciprocal credential if certain conditions are met. This provision does not
require that the other jurisdiction's requirements for granting the license,
credential, or registration be similar to or substantially equivalent to those under

SENATE BILL 320
Wisconsin law and is not limited to specific professions or occupations. However, it
is available only to service members, former service members, or the spouses of a
service member or former service members who reside in this state. In addition, it
requires that the individual be in good standing with the governmental authorities
in every jurisdiction outside this state that have granted the license, credential, or
registration.
The bill repeals the various profession-specific reciprocal credential provisions
described above and expands who may apply for reciprocal credentials under the
universal provision to include all individuals, and not only service members and
spouses. However, the bill also eliminates the requirement that the applicant reside
in this state. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the provision 1) requires that the
individual not have any limitation, restriction, or other encumbrance on a credential
issued in another state and not be under investigation by a credentialing authority
in another state; 2) only provides for the granting of reciprocal credentials to natural
persons; and 3) does not apply to temporary credentials or to certain other specified
nonstandard credentials, including unarmed combat sports credentials, peddler's
licenses for ex-soldiers, and credentials issued under the Uniform Athlete Agents
Act. The bill provides that once an individual applies for a reciprocal credential, the
credential is considered to be provisionally granted on that date, and the individual
may immediately practice the occupation or profession, subject to the ultimate
decision on whether to grant or deny the reciprocal credential. Finally, the bill
provides that a person who receives a reciprocal credential must limit his or her
practice to the scope of his or her experience, education, and training.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 45.44 (1) (a) 5. of the statutes is amended to read:
45.44 (1) (a) 5. A license, certification, registration, or permit issued under s.
89.06, 89.072, 89.073, 94.10 (2), (3), or (3g), 94.50 (2), 94.704, 95.60, 97.17 (2), 97.175

individual is incapable of understanding the nature and risks of the licensed or
credentialed activity, to the extent that engaging in the activity would pose a
substantial risk of physical harm to the individual or others. A failure to find that
an individual is incapable of applying for a license or credential is not a finding that
the individual qualifies for the license or credential under applicable laws and rules.
SECTION 3. 55.043 (4) (b) 5. of the statutes is amended to read:
55.043 (4) (b) 5. Refer the case to the department of safety and professional
services or the department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection, as
appropriate, if the financial exploitation, neglect, self-neglect, or abuse involves an
individual who is required to hold a credential, as defined in s. 440.01 (2) (a), under
chs. 440 to 460 or to hold a license, certification, or permit issued under s. 89.06,
89.072, or 89.073.
SECTION 4. 89.06 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
89.06 (1) Except as provided under ss. 89.072 and s. 89.073, veterinary licenses
shall be issued only to persons who successfully pass an examination conducted by
the examining board and pay the fee established under s. 89.063. An applicant for
an initial license shall be a graduate of a veterinary college that has been approved
by the examining board or have successfully completed either the educational
commission for foreign veterinary graduates certification program of the American
Veterinary Medical Association or the program for the assessment of veterinary
education equivalence offered by the American Association of Veterinary State
Boards. Persons who qualify for examination may be granted temporary permits to
engage in the practice of veterinary medicine in the employment and under the
supervision of a veterinarian until the results of the next examination conducted by
the examining board are available. In case of failure at any examination, the

89.063 Fees. The department shall determine by rule the fees for each initial
license, certification, and permit issued under ss. 89.06, 89.072, and 89.073, and, if
applicable, for renewal of the license, certification, or permit, including late fees,
based on the department's administrative and enforcement costs under this chapter.
The department shall notify the holder of each such license, certification, or permit
of any fee adjustment under this subsection that affects that license, certification,
or permit holder.
SECTION 6. 89.071 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
89.071 (1) If the examining board determines during an investigation of a
complaint against a person holding a license, certification, or permit issued under s.
89.06, 89.072, or 89.073 that there is evidence that the credential holder committed
misconduct, the examining board may close the investigation by issuing an
administrative warning to the credential holder if the examining board determines
that no further disciplinary action is warranted, the complaint involves a first
occurrence of a minor violation, and the issuance of an administrative warning
adequately protects the public.
SECTION 7. 89.0715 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:
89.0715 (2) In any disciplinary proceeding against a holder of a license,
certification, or permit issued under s. 89.06, 89.072, or 89.073 in which the
examining board orders suspension, limitation, or revocation of the credential or
reprimands the credential holder, the examining board may, in addition to imposing
discipline, assess all or part of the costs of the proceeding against the credential
