OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Governor Tony Evers returned to a former hometown to sign bills aimed to provide better healthcare to residents.
Evers signed three bi-partisan bills at Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh on Tuesday.
Evers signed the following bills:
This bill allows a pharmacist, with appropriate training, to administer a vaccination prescribed by a physician or follows a current immunization schedule recommended by the federal advisory committee. This expands the scope for families to get their vaccinations, especially those who live in rural areas.
This bill allows a trained EMS professional to provide emergency medical care as delegated by a health care provider.
This bill creates a grant program through the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs to update 9-1-1 service infrastructure. Grant funds can be used for advanced training of telecommunicators, equipment or software expenses, and incentives to consolidate the functions of two or more public safety answering points.
