State will investigate sick notes given out at Feb. protests

The Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing and the Medical Examining Board opened investigations into medical excuses written by eight medical professionals for protesters at the Capitol in February.

The DRL sent out a press release Wednesday to explain the decision, and said 11 individuals had been asked to explain themselves following complaints the DRL received. However, a panel made up of three MEB members determined only eight of the 11 cases warranted further investigation.

The panel determined the other three individuals did nothing wrong, according to DRL communications director David Carlson.

According to the release, a more extensive investigation process will determine if any illegal actions occurred.

At the end of each investigation, it will be decided whether any disciplinary action is necessary, Carlson said in the release.
