UW-Madison Department of Population Health Sciences must establish and maintain a statewide Parkinson's disease registry within 19 months of the bill's effective date to track incidence, prevalence, and outcomes of Parkinson's disease and related parkinsonisms

Health care providers diagnosing or treating Parkinson's disease must report patient information to the registry, beginning 25 months after the effective date; patients may opt out in writing, but the diagnosis incident must still be reported

Registry data may be shared with other states' registries, federal agencies, local health officers, and researchers who meet confidentiality requirements and obtain institutional review board approval

A public website must be created with annual reports on disease incidence/prevalence, downloadable data dashboards, and resources about Parkinson's disease

All identifying patient and provider information is confidential, protected from subpoena, and inadmissible as evidence in any legal proceeding
