2017 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations
Chapter 148. Medical societies.
148.015 State society.
148.015 State society.
(1) The State Medical Society of Wisconsin is continued with the general powers of a corporation. It may from time to time adopt, alter, and enforce constitution, bylaws, and regulations for admission and expulsion of members, election of officers, and management.
(2) A member expelled from a county medical society may appeal to the state society, whose decision shall be final.
The transfer of all the assets and liabilities of the State Medical Society's Wisconsin Physicians Service was precluded by the Society's statutory duty of exclusive control, since the transfer would result in separation of the Society's assets from those of the new corporation and permit use of Physicians Service assets and structure for purposes not consistent with the legislative intent of ch. 148. State Medical Society v. Comm. of Insurance, 70 Wis. 2d 144, 233 N.W.2d 470 (1975).
