Relating to: the use of live animals in medical training and providing a penalty.

Summary

The bill creates a new statute that bars any Wisconsin educational institution from using live animals to train medical students, residents, fellows, interns, or physicians if another accredited program in the same specialty does not use animals or if an equivalent non‑animal teaching method is available. Institutions that violate the rule must forfeit $1,000 for each animal used. The measure seeks to encourage animal‑free training methods and protect animal welfare.
