The new bill authored by State Rep. Lisa Subeck seeks to extend oversight of Wisconsin's prescription drug monitoring program to ensure continued review and assessment of prescription practices, according to the Wisconsin State Assembly.

According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "the prescription drug monitoring program. (FE)".

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

In essence, this bill amends statutes related to the prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) in Wisconsin. It extends the requirement for practitioners to review a patient's PDMP records before issuing a prescription, a mandate now extended from an expiration date of April 1, 2025, to April 1, 2030. Additionally, the bill prolongs the requirement for the Controlled Substances Board to conduct a quarterly assessment of the PDMP's actual versus projected outcomes, shifting the expiration of this mandate from October 30, 2025, to October 30, 2030. These adjustments aim to ensure continued oversight and analysis of prescription practices and outcomes.

The bill was co-authored by Senator Patrick Testin (Republican-24th District), Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde (Democrat-17th District), and Representative Shelia Stubbs (Democrat-78th District).

Lisa Subeck has co-authored or authored another 22 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.

Subeck graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1993 with a BA.

Subeck, a Democrat, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 79th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Alex Joers.

In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
