The rest of what Wisconsin says on this
Every other rule we have verified under disciplinary landscape, each linked to its primary source.
Practicing without a license is punished through the subchapter’s general penalty, because the licensing requirement sits inside it: a person who violates any provision of the medical practice subchapter — § 448.03(1)(a) included — may be fined NOT MORE THAN $10,000 or imprisoned not more than nine months, or both.
Wis. Stat. § 448.09(1) · verified Sep 2, 2026
⚠️ A PHYSICIAN PAYS MORE FOR THE SAME VIOLATION. A physician who violates any provision of the subchapter, OR ANY RULE PROMULGATED UNDER IT, may be fined NOT MORE THAN $25,000 or imprisoned not more than nine months, or both. Because Med 10.03 is such a rule, inadequate supervision of a delegated act reaches this figure.
Wis. Stat. § 448.09(1m) · verified Sep 2, 2026
An appeal route and its clock are set by statute: a person aggrieved by board action may seek judicial review under ch. 227 and MUST FILE NOTICE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD WITHIN 30 DAYS — and no court of the state may enter an ex parte stay of board action under the subchapter.
Wis. Stat. § 448.09(2) · verified Sep 2, 2026
If it appears upon complaint to the board by any person, or if it is known to the board, that any person is violating the subchapter or rules adopted by the board under it, the board or the attorney general may investigate and may, in addition to any other remedies, bring action in the name and on behalf of the state against any such person to enjoin such person from such violation.
