This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Senate Bill 177 clarify the definition of "reviewable deaths" for fatality review teams by including specific categories of deaths that they will evaluate, such as maternal deaths occurring during or within a year of pregnancy. This change enhances the focus of these teams, which now explicitly includes those dealing with overdose and suicide fatalities, improving the state's ability to address and prevent these types of deaths. These updates are significant because they ensure that the teams can provide targeted recommendations to reduce future fatalities in these critical areas.

relating to:
fatality review teams and granting rule-making authority.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill is explained in theOTES provided by the Joint Legislative Council in the bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
JOINTLEGISLATIVECOUNCIL PREFATORY NOTEThis bill was prepared for the Joint Legislative Council Study Committee on Uniform Death Reporting Standards.
Current law does not address fatality review teams, though several types of such teams currently exist in Wisconsin based on voluntary efforts primarily organized by counties, with state-level technical assistance available for certain types of teams.
The bill establishes fatality review teams under state law.
Under the bill, a fatality review team is defined as a multidisciplinary and multiagency team reviewing one or more types of death among children or adults and developing recommendations to prevent future deaths of similar circumstances.
The bill generally governs a team's responsibilities, ability to access certain records, confidentiality requirements, and disclosure of information.
- 2024 Legislature - 2 - LRB-0521/1 SWB:skw SENATE BILL 177 Duties and Authority of the Department of Health Services (DHS) Under the bill, DHS must establish a fatality review program comprised of local fatality review teams established at the option of a county, a local health department, or a tribal health department, or a combination of these entities.
The bill also authorizes, but does not require, DHS to create state fatality review teams.
The bill requires DHS to perform various duties, in consultation with other state agencies as appropriate, such as:
(1) facilitate local team development;
(2) identify training needs and make available training resources;
(3) provide technical assistance and support;
(4) in the absence of a local team or upon request, assign review of deaths to a state fatality review team, if established;
(5) educate the public on causes and recommendations for prevention of reviewable deaths;
and (6) provide information to the legislature, state agencies, and local communities on the need for modifications to law, policy, or practice.
The bill allows DHS to contract with an entity to perform any of its duties under the bill.
Under the bill, DHS must create and make available to fatality review teams a confidentiality agreement for use by team members to ensure confidentiality consistent with the bill's provisions.
The bill requires DHS to promulgate administrative rules to develop and implement a standardized form for review of suicide deaths, and allows DHS to promulgate rules to develop and implement standardized forms for other types of reviewable deaths.
The bill further grants general rule-making authority to DHS to implement the bill's provisions.
Fatality Review Teams The bill contains general provisions governing any type of fatality review team.
The bill identifies examples of the types of deaths that may constitute a reviewable death, including those caused by unintentional injury, overdose, suicide, and homicide, among other causes.
The bill also provides a non-exhaustive list of potential team members.
Under the bill, a fatality review team has the purpose of gathering information about reviewable deaths to examine risk factors and understand how deaths may be prevented, through identifying recommendations for cross-sector, system-level policy and practice changes, and promoting cooperation and coordination among the agencies involved in understanding causes of reviewable deaths or in providing services to surviving family members.
If established, each fatality review team must:
(1) establish and implement team protocols;
(2) collect and maintain data;
(3) create strategies and track implementation of prevention recommendations;
and (4) evaluate the team's process, interagency collaboration, and implementation of recommendations.
The bill requires teams to assign, as appropriate for a specific review, a team member to complete any standardized form developed by DHS, and to enter data regarding each reviewable death into any secure database designated by DHS or its contracted entity.
Record Access and Confidentiality The bill authorizes a fatality review team to access records from a variety of sources, such as certain state agencies, law enforcement, medical examiners and coroners, health care providers, human service agencies, schools, and the prescription drug monitoring program, among others, subject to certain restrictions under the bill and current law.
Information and records provided to or created by a fatality review team are confidential, subject to limited exceptions provided under the bill, and are not subject to Wisconsin's public records laws.
The bill requires team members, and other individuals invited to attend a team meeting, to sign a confidentiality agreement before participating in or attending a fatality review team meeting.

The bill prohibits team members, persons in attendance at team meetings, and others providing records to teams from testifying in any civil or criminal action as to the information specifically obtained through participation in the team's meeting.
LRB-0521/1 - 2024 Legislature - 3 - SWB:skw SENATE BILL 177 The bill authorizes disclosure of information if such disclosure serves a team's purpose and certain other conditions are met, such as the information does not allow for identification of individuals and does not contain conclusory information attributing fault.
The bill further specifies that a team's information and records are not subject to discovery or subpoena, or admissible as evidence, in a civil or criminal action, unless obtained independently from a team's review.
The bill also provides that a person participating in a fatality review team is immune from civil or criminal liability for any good faith act or omission in connection with providing information or recommendations.
The bill exempts fatality review team meetings from Wisconsin's open meetings law.
However, the bill allows for public meetings to share summary findings and recommendations, but limits the types of information that may be disclosed in public meetings.
