Under s. 227.24, Stats., state agencies may promulgate rules

without complying with the usual rule−making procedures. Using

this special procedure to issue emergency rules, an agency must find

that either the preservation of the public peace, health, safety or

welfare necessitates its action in bypassing normal rule−making

procedures.

Emergency rules are published in the official state newspaper,

which is currently the Wisconsin State Journal. Emergency rules are

in effect for 150 days and can be extended up to an additional

120 days with no single extension to exceed 60 days.

Extension of the effective period of an emergency rule is

granted at the discretion of the Joint Committee for Review of

Administrative Rules under s. 227.24 (2), Stats.

Notice of all emergency rules which are in effect must be

printed in the Wisconsin Administrative Register. This notice will

contain a brief description of the emergency rule, the agency finding

of emergency, date of publication, the effective and expiration dates,

any extension of the effective period of the emergency rule and

information regarding public hearings on the emergency rule.

EMERGENCY RULES NOW IN EFFECT

Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer

Protection

Rule adopted creating s. ATCP 139.04 (11), relating toprohibiting the sale of butane, propane, mixtures of butaneand propane, or other gaseous hydrocarbons for use asrefrigerants in mobile air conditioners.

Finding of Emergency

(1) On June 2, 1995, the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency (“EPA”) issued a final rule prohibiting the use of HC−12a,a hydrocarbon−based refrigerant containing liquified petroleumgas, as a refrigerant in mobile air conditioning systems. EPAprohibited HC−12a, and a predecessor product called OZ−12,because of safety risks associated with the use of flammablerefrigerants in mobile air conditioning systems. According to EPA,the manufacturer of HC−12a did not provide adequate informationto demonstrate that the product was safe when used in a mobile airconditioning system.

(2) Despite the current EPA rule, at least one company iscurrently engaged in manufacturing and distributing HC−12a foruse in motor vehicle air conditioning systems. The Idahomanufacturer argues that EPA lacks jurisdiction to regulate the saleof its product. HC−12a is currently being offered, distributed orpromoted for sale at wholesale and retail outlets in Wisconsin andsurrounding states, for use as a refrigerant in mobile air conditioningsystems.

(3) HC−12a is a highly flammable substance, as defined by theAmerican Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard testprocedure for refrigerants, the American Society of Heating,Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), andUnderwriter’s Laboratories. Use of HC−12a or its predecessor,OZ−12, in mobile air conditioning systems is inconsistent withstandards adopted by the Society of Automotive Engineers.

According to those standards, refrigerants used in mobile airconditioning systems must be of low toxicity, and must benonflammable and nonexplosive.

(4) At least 13 states have enacted legislation prohibiting the saleof refrigerants for use in air conditioning or refrigeration systemsunless those refrigerants meet flammability standards or arespecifically approved for their intended use.

(5) HC−12a and other hydrocarbon−based refrigerants, whensold for use in motor vehicle air conditioning systems, present aserious risk to public health and safety for the following reasons:

(a) Motor vehicles and mobile air conditioning systems are notcurrently designed to use flammable refrigerants, or to preventhazards associated with flammable refrigerants.

(b) Refrigerants in mobile air conditioning systems commonlyleak into the engine compartments or passenger compartments ofmotor vehicles. Leaking refrigerant is often routed into thepassenger compartment through the air distribution system from theevaporator. Hydrocarbon refrigerants, which are heavier than air,will tend to accumulate in low or confined spaces of a motor vehicle.

(c) Hydrocarbon refrigerants are flammable at lowconcentrations.

(d) Internal components of a motor vehicle provide manypotential sources of ignition for flammable refrigerants. Passengeractivities, such as smoking, may also create ignition sources.

(e) Fires or explosions resulting from the ignition of leakedflammable refrigerant may cause serious bodily injury or death tomotor vehicle passengers. Automotive technicians who test forleaks, or who repair or service mobile air conditioning systemscontaining flammable refrigerants, are also at risk.

(6) The risk to public health and safety cannot be adequatelyaddressed by product packaging or labeling, for the followingreasons:

(a) The use of flammable hydrocarbon−based products in motorvehicle air conditioning systems is inherently hazardous. Thathazard will not be materially altered by mere packaging or labeling.

(b) Use is hazardous to persons who are not aware that therefrigerant is present, and have not have seen or read the productlabel.

(c) Current product labels for HC−12a already contain a warningstatement that the contents are under pressure and are extremelyflammable. Current labels direct use by qualified personnel only,and list other cautions and instructions when recharging a mobile airconditioning system with this substitute refrigerant. These labelstatements do not materially alter the hazard inherent in the use forwhich the product is sold. There are few if any protective actionswhich a customer or technician could take to reduce the hazardsassociated with use of the product.

(d) There are no automotive industry standards which wouldallow a flammable refrigerant to be used in a motor vehicle airconditioning system as currently designed.

(7) Flammable hydrocarbon−based refrigerants, includingHC−12a, OZ−12, and other refrigerants containing butane, propane,mixtures of butane and propane, or other gaseous hydrocarbons,pose a serious risk to public health and safety when sold for use asrefrigerants in mobile air conditioners. At this time, the publichealth and safety can only be protected by keeping these productsout of the channels of commerce in this state. The department canand should adopt rules, under ss. 93.07(1) and 100.37(2), Stats.,prohibiting the sale of such products in this state.

(8) Pending the adoption of rules according normaladministrative rulemaking procedures, it is necessary to adopt


emergency rules under s. 227.24, Stats., to protect the public health,safety and welfare.

Publication Date: October 9, 1996

Effective Date: October 9, 1996

Expiration Date: March 8, 1997

Hearing Date: November 15, 1996

Extension Through: May 6, 1997


Department of Commerce

Rules adopted repealing ch. DOD 13 and creating ch. Comm113, relating to the annual allocation of volume cap.


The Department of Commerce finds that an emergency exists andthat rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the publicpeace, health, safety or welfare. A statement of the facts constitutingthe emergency is:

Historically, s. 560.032, Stats. has been interpreted by thelegislature and certain legislative attorneys to provide that theannual allocation for the distribution of volume cap established bythe Department of Commerce expires at the end of each calendaryear. To comply with this interpretation, the Department is requiredto repeal and recreate the volume cap rule annually. The proposedpermanent rule for 1997 is in process. Without this emergency rule,which is effective upon publication in the official state newspaperand filing with the Secretary of State and Revisor of Statutes, therewill be several months during which Wisconsin will be unable totake advantage of the approximately $260 million of volume cap andthus risk losing the jobs and investment that would be created byWisconsin businesses that otherwise would make use of thefederally subsidized financing during the period. Adoption of therule will insure that there is no gap in the use of this development tooland that the jobs and investment occur.

Publication Date: December 30, 1996

Effective Date: December 30, 1996

Expiration Date: May 29, 1997

Hearing Date: February 13, 1997


Department of Corrections

Rules adopted creating s. DOC 309.05 (2)(d), relating toinmate mail.


The Department of Corrections finds an emergency exists andthat a rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the publicpeace, health, safety or welfare. A statement of the facts constitutingthe emergency is:

Wisconsin state prison inmates outgoing mail is generally notreviewed or censored. Inmates have used mail to:

1. Contact the victims of their crimes, which has caused severeemotional distress;

2. Threaten and harass elected officials, law enforcementofficers, and other persons; and

3. Defraud mail order and other businesses.

Since November 1, 1993, pursuant to Internal ManagementProcedure #35, the department has stamped outgoing inmate mail toindicate that the mail was sent from the Wisconsin state prisonsystem. IMP #35 was adopted to protect victims of crime, thepublic, and businesses from inmate harassment and fraud.

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled in an unpublisheddecision that IMP #35 had to be promulgated as an administrativerule.

In order to protect the public welfare of the state, it is necessaryfor the department to adopt the following emergency rule to ensurethat victims of crime are not further victimized by inmate mail, thatmembers of the public are not threatened or harassed, and thatbusinesses are not defrauded.

Publication Date: August 15, 1996

Effective Date: August 15, 1996

Expiration Date: January 12, 1997

Hearing Dates: January 10, 13 & 14, 1997

Extension Through: May 10, 1997


Health & Family Services

(Management, Policy and Budget, Chs. HSS 1−−)

Rules adopted revising ch. HSS 1, relating to parental liabilityfor the cost of care for children in court−ordered substitutecare.

Exemption From Finding of Emergency

The Legislature in s. 9126 (2z) of 1993 Wis. Act 481 directed theDepartment to promulgate rules required under s. 46.25 (9) (b),Stats., by using emergency rulemaking procedures but exempted theDepartment from the requirement under s. 227.24 (1) and (3), Stats.,to make a finding of emergency.

Analysis

Section 46.10 (14) (b), Stats., as created by 1993 Wis. Act 481,requires that parental support for court−ordered placements unders. 48.345, Stats., for children found to be in need of protection orservices, and s. 938.183 (2), 938.34, 938.345 or 938.357, Stats., foryouth adjudged delinquent, be established according to the childsupport percentage of income standard in ch. HSS 80, and s. 46.25(9) (b), Stats., as created by Wis. Act 481, directs the Department topromulgate rules, separate from ch. HSS 80, for the application ofthe child support percentage of income standard to court−orderedsubstitute care cases. The rules are to take into account the needs ofany person, including dependent children other than the child goinginto care, whom either parent is legally obligated to support. Therules proposed here will address these and other issues related tosupport for children in court−ordered substitute care.

This order creates s. HSS 1.07 relating to parental support forchildren in court−ordered substitute care and makes related changesin ss. HSS 1.01 to 1.06. However, if a child in care has income orassets, the payment requirements will continue to be assessedaccording to s. HSS 1.03.

Publication Date: January 22, 1997

Effective Date: January 22, 1997

Expiration Date: June 21, 1997

Hearing Date: April 8, 1997


EMERGENCY RULES NOW IN EFFECT (2)

Health and Family Services

(Health, Chs. HSS 110−−)

1. Rules adopted creating ch. HFS 125, relating todo−not−resuscitate bracelets to alert emergency healthcare personnel.


The Department of Health and Family Services finds that anemergency exists and that the adoption of the rules is necessary forthe immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety orwelfare. The facts constituting the emergency are as follows:

A recent session law, 1995 Wis. Act 200, created ss. 154.17 to154.29, Stats., relating to a do−not−resuscitate (DNR) order writtenby the attending physician for a patient who requests the order andwho has a terminal condition or a medical condition such that, if thepatient were to suffer cardiac or pulmonary failure, resuscitationwould be unsuccessful or would cause significant physical pain orharm that would outweigh the possibility of successful restorationof the function for an indefinite period of time. A DNR order directsemergency health care personnel not to attempt cardiopulmonaryresuscitation on a patient for whom the order is issued if that personsuffers cardiac or respiratory arrest. Emergency health carepersonnel will know if there is a do−not−resuscitate order in effectif the patient has on his or her wrist a do−not−resuscitate braceletwhich has been affixed there by the patient’s attending physician orat the direction of the patient’s attending physician. Emergencyhealth care personnel are expected to follow a do−not−resuscitateorder unless the patient revokes the order, the bracelet appears tohave been tampered with or the patient is known to be pregnant.

Section 154.19 (3) (a), Stats., created by Wis. Act 200, permitsthe Department to establish procedures by rule for emergency healthcare personnel to use in following do−not−resuscitate orders, ands. 154.27, Stats., as created by Wis. Act 200, requires theDepartment to establish by rule a uniform standard for the size, colorand design of do−not−resuscitate bracelets.

These rules are being published by emergency order becausewhile most Wis. Act 200 provisions have taken effect anddo−not−resuscitate orders are being written for patients who arequalified, as defined in s. 154.17 (4), Stats., as created by Wis.Act 200, and request the order, without rules that establish a uniformstandard for the bracelets the Department cannot approve bracelets.If the bracelet is not approved by the Department, it cannot beaffixed. In the absence of a DNR bracelet on the wrist of a person incardiac or respiratory arrest, emergency health care personnelordinarily cannot know that a DNR order is in effect, and so mustinitiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation which in some cases willcontravene a DNR order.

The rules establish a uniform standard for do−not−resuscitatebracelets and a procedure for emergency medical technicians(EMTs), first responders and emergency health care facilitypersonnel to use in following do−not−resuscitate orders.

2. Rules adopted revising ch. HSS 163, relating tocertification for lead abatement work and leadmanagement activities.


The Department of Health and Family Services finds that anemergency exists and rules are necessary for the immediate

preservation of the public peace, health, safety or welfare. The factsconstituting the emergency are as follows:

Exposure to lead in paint, dust or soil is known to have both shortterm and long term deleterious effects on the health of children,causing learning disabilities, decreased growth, hyperactivity,impaired hearing, brain damage, and even death. Occupationalexposure in adults may result in damage to the kidneys, the centralnervous system in general, and the brain in particular, and to thereproductive system. Children born of a parent who has beenexposed to excessive levels of lead are more likely to have birthdefects, mental retardation or behavioral disorders, or to die duringthe first year of childhood. About one child in six has a level of leadin the blood that exceeds the threshold for risk.

A residential dwelling or other building built before 1978 maycontain lead− based paint. When lead−based paint on surfaces likewalls, ceilings, windows, woodwork and floors is broken, sanded orscraped down to dust and chips, the living environment can becomea source of poisoning for occupants. When it becomes necessary ordesirable to identify lead hazards in order to determine theappropriate method of hazard reduction or abatement, it isimperative that persons who provide lead hazard evaluation andother lead management services be properly trained to ensureaccurate lead inspection or assessment results. A reliable leadinspection or assessment is necessary to ensure a lead−safeenvironment for building occupants, especially children under theage of six, who are the most vulnerable population affected bylead−based paint and lead− contaminated dust and soil.

Under s. 254.176, Stats., the Department may establish trainingand certification requirements for any person who performs orsupervises lead hazard reduction or lead management. In addition,s. 254.178, Stats., states that no person may advertise or conduct atraining course in lead hazard reduction or lead management that isrepresented as qualifying persons for state certification unless thecourse is accredited by the Department.

In 1993, the Department created ch. HSS 163, Wis. Adm. Code,Certification for Lead Abatement and Other Lead HazardReduction, to regulate the training and certification of leadabatement workers and supervisors and to accredit thecorresponding training courses. Rules were needed to meeteligibility requirements for a $6 million federal Department ofHousing and Urban Development (HUD) grant to fund lead hazardreduction in low and moderate income housing where childrenunder the age of six are found to have elevated blood lead levels.

Development of rules for training and certifying leadmanagement professionals, including lead inspectors, riskassessors, and project designers, and for accrediting thecorresponding courses, was postponed pending publication of U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead training andcertification regulations. Initially expected in June 1994, these EPAregulations were not published until August 29, 1996.

Since most lead management work to date has been associatedwith elevated blood lead level investigations conducted by state andlocal government employes who received appropriate training fromEPA regional lead training centers, the delay in lead managementrules was not a health hazard. The creation of the private inspectionand risk assessment service market resulting from new federalHUD/EPA disclosure regulations, however, poses a health hazard ifthat market is not properly regulated.

Joint HUD/EPA regulations (24 CFR Part 35 and 40 CFR Part745) now require that landlords and home sellers disclose the knownpresence of lead in rental units and homes being sold. Theseregulations took effect September 6, 1996, for owners of more thanfour dwelling units and December 6, 1996, for owners of four orfewer dwelling units. In addition, a home buyer is allowed 10 daysto obtain a lead inspection or risk assessment before final obligationto purchase a home under a signed offer to purchase.

Due to the lack of state−accredited training courses andstate−certified lead management professionals to fill the demand,lead management services are being offered by persons who may notpossess appropriate education, experience or training. Unqualifiedlead inspectors and risk assessors can have an adverse effect on thestate’s residential marketplace. Based on an inaccurate inspection,


a mortgage company could deny a mortgage loan, a home sale couldfall through, or a property owner could expend large sums of moneyfor unnecessary lead abatement actions. Even worse, the health ofchildren may be jeopardized by erroneous findings that a lead hazardis not present, which can result in improper handling of lead−basedpaint materials.

HUD recently announced it was awarding the State of Wisconsinand the City of Milwaukee additional lead hazard reduction grantstotaling over $6.5 million. The grants require that money bedisbursed only for lead−based paint activities performed bystate−certified persons who have completed state− accredited leadtraining courses. Since Wisconsin does not yet certify leadinspectors, risk assessors, or project designers, grant mandatescannot be fully met, which could lead to funding difficulties anddelay vital abatement activities.

This emergency order amends ch. HSS 163 to requireaccreditation of lead inspector, risk assessor and project designertraining courses and, beginning April 19, 1 997, certification of leadinspectors, risk assessors and project designers. In addition,references to ”lead abatement or HUD−funded lead hazardreduction” have been changed to add lead management services.The order also adds accreditation and certification fees.

These rule changes are being published by emergency order toensure, through Department certification and accreditation, thatpersons providing lead management services, including leadinspections, risk assessments and project design, are appropriatelytrained and qualified.

Publishing these rules as emergency rules also enables the Stateof Wisconsin and the City of Milwaukee to implement the federalgrants which require that only trained and certified leadprofessionals perform lead hazard evaluations and lead hazardreduction and abatement.

Health & Social Services

(Economic Support, Chs. HSS 200−)

Rules adopted creating s. HSS 201.135, relating to time limitson benefits for AFDC recipients participating in the JOBSprogram.


The Legislature in s. 275 (3) of 1995 Wis. Act 289 directed theDepartment to promulgate the rule required under s. 49.145 (2) (n),stats., as created by Wis. Act 289, by using emergency rulemakingprocedures but without having to make a finding of emergency. Therule will take effect on October 1, 1996.

Analysis Prepared by the Department ofWorkforce Development

Under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC)program an individual may apply and be determined eligible forAFDC benefits with no regard to whether the individual hasreceived benefits in the past or the number of months an individualmay have already received benefits. Wisconsin Works (W−2), thereplacement program for AFDC, as created by 1995 Wis. Act 289,

includes a provision limiting the amount of time an individual mayreceive AFDC benefits, W−2 employment position benefits or acombination thereof. Under s. 49.145 (2) (n), Stats., as created by1995 Wis. Act 289, the total number of months in which an adult hasactively participated in the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills(JOBS) program under s. 49.193, Stats., or has participated in a W−2employment position or both may not exceed 60 months. Themonths need not be consecutive. Extensions to the 60 month timelimit may be granted only in unusual circumstances in accordancewith rules promulgated by the Department. Section 49.141 (2) (b),Stats., as created by 1995 Wis. Act 289, provides that if a federalwaiver is granted or federal legislation is enacted, the Departmentmay begin to implement the W−2 program no sooner than July 1,1996. Participation in JOBS under s. 49.193, Stats., begins to counttoward the 60−month limit beginning on October 1, 1996.

The federal Personal Responsibility and Work OpportunityReconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104−193) was signed into law byPresident Clinton on August 22, 1996. It creates the TemporaryAssistance for Needy Families (TANF) program which proves thata state may not use any part of the TANF grant to provide assistanceto a family that includes an adult who has received assistance for 60months, whether consecutive or not, under a state program fundedby the TANF block grant. Wisconsin submitted its TANF BlockGrant State Plan to the Federal Administration for Children andFamilies on August 22, 1996. The Department will implement timelimits October 1, 1996, for AFDC recipients who are activelyparticipating in the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS)Training Program. Implementation of the time limits is part of thecontinuing transition from AFDC to the W−2 program. W−2 will beimplemented statewide in September 1997.

Time limits reinforce the idea that AFDC is a temporary supportfor families, rather than a long−term source of income. Wisconsin’sWork Not Welfare (WNW) demonstration project which isoperating in Fond du Lac and Pierce Counties, has shown that timelimits create a sense of urgency for families to actively seekalternatives to AFDC. Time limits stress mutual responsibility:government provides support and services designed to promoteemployment and participants who are able must prepare for andenter employment.

The rule defines the term “actively participating” in the JOBSprogram and includes criteria county or tribal economic supportagency would use to determine whether an extension of the 60month time limit should be granted. The Department retains the rightto review an economic support agency’s decisions related toextensions.

Commissioner of Insurance

1. Rule adopted revising s. Ins 18.07 (5) (b), relating to adecrease in 1996−97 premium rates for the healthinsurance risk−sharing plan.


Pursuant to s. 619.14 (5) (e), Stats., the commissioner is notrequired to make a finding of an emergency to promulgate thisemergency rule.


1996−97 Premium Adjustments

The Commissioner of Insurance, based on the recommendationof the Health Insurance Risk−Sharing Plan (“HIRSP”) board, isrequired to set the annual premiums by rule. The rates must becalculated in accordance with generally accepted actuarialprinciples and must be set at 60% of HIRSP’s operating andadministrative costs. This rule adjusts the premium rates for theperiod of October 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, based upon arecalculation of costs and subsidy payments for the 1996−1997fiscal year. This adjustment represents a 12% reduction in premiumpayments for the both the non−subsidized major medical andmedicare plans for person under age 65. The rates for low−incomepersons entitled to a premium reduction under s. Ins 18.07 (5) (b) arenot affected.

2. A rule adopted creating s. Ins 3.46 (18), relating to therequirements for tax deductible long term care insurance.


The Commissioner of Insurance finds that an emergency existsand that a rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of thepublic peace, health, safety, or welfare. Facts constituting theemergency are as follows:

The recently passed federal “Kassebaum−Kennedy” law, P.L.104−191, set certain standards for allowing favorable tax treatmentof long term care insurance policies. The existing Wisconsinadministrative rules pertaining to long term care do not meet thesecriteria and require changes. These changes will allow taxdeductible long term care insurance policies to be sold to Wisconsinresidents as soon as possible.

1. Rule adopted creating s. NR 27.07, relating to notice ofreceipt of an application to incidentally take anendangered or threatened species.


1995 Wis. Act 296 establishes authority in the department ofnatural resources to consider applications for and issue permitsauthorizing the incidental take of an endangered or threatenedspecies while a person is engaged in an otherwise lawful activity.Section 29.415 (6m) (e), Stats., as created, requires the departmentto establish by administrative rule a list of organizations, includingnonprofit conservation groups, that have a professional, scientific oracademic interest in endangered species or in threatened species.That provision further provides that the department then givenotification of proposed takings under that subsection of the statutesto those organizations and establish a procedure for receipt of publiccomment on the proposed taking.

The proposed rule lists a number of organizations the departmentis familiar with as being interested in endangered and threatenedspecies; a notification procedure to be used to notify them, andothers, of a proposed taking; and a public comment procedure to beused for consideration of public comments. The notificationprocedure is not limited to mail distribution, but is broad to allowother forms of notification, such as electronic mail.

2. Rules adopted revising chs. NR 25 and 26, relating to theLake Superior fisheries management plan.


The waters of Lake Superior were not part of the extensiveoff−reservation treaty rights litigation known as the Voigt case. Theparties stipulated that the Lake Superior rights would be dealt with,to the extent possible, by agreement rather than litigation. This rulerepresents the implementation of the most recent agreementbetween the State and the red Cliff and Bad River Bands. In orderto comply with the terms of the agreement, the State must change itsquotas and commercial fishing regulations at the earliest possibledate. In accordance with the agreement, the Bands have alreadymade these changes. Failure of the State to do so will not onlydeprive state fishers of the increased harvest opportunities availableunder the agreement, but could also jeopardize the agreement,putting the entire Lake Superior fishery at risk of litigation.

Public Instruction

Rules adopted revising ch. PI 35, relating to the Milwaukeeprivate school choice program.


The Department of Public Instruction finds an emergency existsand that a rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of thepublic welfare. A statement of the facts constituting the emergencyis:

In his ruling, effective August 15, 1996, Judge Higginbothamprohibited the expansion of the Milwaukee private school choiceprogram to religious private schools provided for under 1995 Wis.Act 27. On January 15, 1997, Judge Higginbotham determined thatall other stipulations under the Act are allowed to continue until June1997. At that time all of the provisions under the Act are suspendedand the program reverts to previous statutory language.

Since the provisions under the Act (except for the participationof religious schools) are to be implemented for the remainder of the1996−97 school year, rules must be in place as soon as possible inorder to establish uniform financial accounting standards andfinancial audit requirements required of the participating privateschools as provided for under the Act. The requirements establishedunder this rule have been discussed with the private schools andinitial indications reflect an acceptance of these provisions.

Since the private school choice program has yet to be reviewedby the Court of Appeals and possibly the Supreme Court, onlyemergency rules will be promulgated at this time in order to


implement the provisions under the Act through the end of the1996−97 school year. Permanent rules will be developed whenjudicial review is finalized.

The Department of Transportation finds that an emergency existsfor the following reason: In Schoolway Transp. Co. v. Division ofMotor Vehicles, 72 Wis. 2d 223 (1976), a changed interpretation ofa statute was held to be a rule. The interpretation is beingadministered as law and the Department will rely upon it to makeaids payments. This interpretation is in direct contrast to the mannerin which the statute was previously administered by the Department.Therefor, the Department must promulgate the changedinterpretation as a rule or it is invalid. In order to make the changein time to implement it for aids estimates and payment purposes, theDepartment must promulgate this interpretation as an emergencyrule.

Publication Date: October 25, 1996




2. Rules adopted revising ch. Trans 117, relating tooccupational driver’s license.


1995 Wis. Act 269 rewrote state law regarding the issuance ofoccupational licenses. That Act goes into effect on November 1,1996. Absent this emergency rule making, the Department will lackrule authority necessary to administer the new law. This emergencyrule will permit the Department to issue occupational licenses untilthe permanent rule establishing procedures for issuing occupationallicenses are in place. Therefore, the Department of Transportationfinds that an emergency exists and that the rule is necessary.

1. Rules adopted renumbering subch. VII of ch. HSS 55 andcreating s. DWD 56.08, relating to the administration ofchild care funds and required parent copayments.


The Department of Workforce Development finds that anemergency exists and that a rule is necessary for the immediatepreservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. Astatement of the facts constituting the emergency is:

The Governor has directed the Child Care Working Group toanalyze the impact that the federal legislation will have on child carein Wisconsin and on the Wisconsin Works program, and to analyzeand identify effective methods and funding sources to increase childcare options and expand the availability of affordable child care. TheGovernor has approved a new schedule for child care copaymentsand this rule places the new schedule into operation. The use of anemergency rule allows the implementation of the new scheduleimmediately.




2. Rules were adopted creating ch. DWD 12, relating toWisconsin Works program.


The Legislature in s.275(3) of 1995 Wis. Act 289 permitted theDepartment to promulgate the rules required under ss. 49.143 to49.157, Stats., as created by Act 289, by using emergencyrulemaking procedures but without having to make a finding ofemergency.

Analysis Prepared by the Department ofWorkforce Development

Wisconsin Works (W−2), the replacement program for the Aid toFamilies with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, is basedsquarely on work. Rather than offering welfare checks to those whodo not work, as AFDC does currently, W−2 offers participants theopportunity to move into the work world and become self−sufficientthrough employment.

These rules provide the administrative framework under whichthe Department will implement a W−2 pilot program in twocounties, Fond du Lac and Pierce, effective March 1, 1997. As thepilot counties for the Work Not Welfare program which beganJanuary 1, 1995, these two counties have had experience inimplementing major welfare reform efforts. The W−2 programincludes work opportunities, job access loans, education andtraining activities to enhance employability, intensive casemanagement, child care and child support enforcement and otheremployment supports such as transportation assistance and accessto health care services under the Medical Assistance program.

Wisconsin Works (W−2) was authorized through enactment of1995 Wis. Act 289 which Governor Thompson signed into law onApril 25, 1996. Under s.49.141(2)(b), Stats., if a federal waiver isgranted or federal legislation is enacted, the Department ofWorkforce Development could begin to implement W−2 no soonerthan July 1, 1996 and must fully implement the W−2 programstatewide in September 1997. The federal Personal Responsibilityand Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104−193)was signed into law on August 22, 1996. It creates the TemporaryAssistance for Needy Families (TANF) program which ends theentitlement program under Title IV−A of the Social Security Act andcreates a block grant program under which states receive monies toprovide cash and other benefits to help needy families support theirchildren while at the same time requiring families to participate inwork program activities which will help them becomeself−sufficient. In general, a state may not use any part of the TANFgrant to provide assistance to a family for more than 60 months.

States must ensure, under section 114 of P.L. 104−193, thatfamilies who meet the AFDC eligibility requirements in effect onJuly 16, 1996, have access to Medical Assistance. Wisconsin hasnot yet obtained the necessary waivers or federal legislation thatwould allow the implementation of the W−2 health plan. Therefore,W−2 participants who meet the July 16, 1996, AFDC eligibility


requirements or are eligible under s.49.46 or 49.47, Stats., and theimplementing administrative rules, Chs. HFS 101−108,administered by the Department of Health and Family Services, mayapply and be determined eligible for Medical Assistance.

Under W−2, there will be a place for everyone who is willing towork to their ability. The program is available to parents with minorchildren, low assets and low income who need assistance inbecoming self−sufficient through employment. The W−2 programprovides cash benefits only for those individuals who participate inW−2 employment and training activities. W−2 agencies have theoption, for participants in a community service job or a transitionalplacement, to aggregate education and training hours for approvedprograms to allow an individual to participate in education andtraining activities for more than 10 or 12 hours per week within thefirst few months of participation. Each eligible W−2 applicant willmeet with a Financial and Employment Planner (FEP) who will helpthe individual develop a self−sufficiency plan and determine theirplace on the W−2 employment ladder. The ladder consists of fourlevels of employment options, in order of preference: unsubsidizedemployment; subsidized employment through a trial job for thoseparticipants who need minimal assistance but where unsubsidizedemployment is not available; a community service job for thoseparticipants who need to practice work habits and skills necessaryto move into unsubsidized employment; and transitional placementfor those unable to perform independent, self−sustaining work.Individuals placed in a trial job will receive wages from anemployer. Individuals placed in a community service job willreceive a monthly benefit of $555 and individuals placed in atransitional placement will receive a monthly benefit of $518. W−2participants are limited to 24 months in a single subsidizedemployment position category. Extensions may be granted on alimited basis when local labor market conditions precludeopportunities or when the participant has significant barriers whichprevent him or her from obtaining unsubsidized employment. Childcare is available for those individuals who have children under theage of 13 and need child care in order to work or participate in a W−2employment position. The W−2 program will be administered bycontracted agencies which may include counties, tribal agencies andprivate agencies in geographic areas determined by the Department.

These are the rules for implementation of the Wisconsin Worksprogram. The rules include eligibility requirements for thoseindividuals applying for a W−2 employment position or child care,time−limited benefits for participants in W−2 employmentpositions, good cause for failure or refusal to participate in W−2employment positions or other required employment and trainingactivities, how sanctions are applied for failure to meet the W−2employment position participation requirements, and schoolattendance requirements under the Learnfare program for thechildren of W−2 employment position participants.

(Labor Standards, Chs. ILHR 270−279)

Rules adopted revising ch. ILHR 272, relating to theminimum wage.


The Department of Workforce Development finds that anemergency exists and that a rule is necessary for the immediatepreservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. Astatement of the facts constituting the emergency is:

The minimum wage set by federal law will be raised to $4.75 perhour effective October 1, 1996. The federal minimum wage coversmany but not all of the employers and employes in the state, and itis not always easy for a particular employer to know if it is coveredby state or federal law. If the state did not act quickly to adjust itsminimum wage rules in response to the change in federal law, manyemployers and employes would be subjected to confusion anduncertainty in the calculation and payment of wages.

(Wage Rates, Chs. ILHR 290−294)

Rules adopted revising ch. ILHR 290, relating to thedetermination of prevailing wage rates for workersemployed on state or local public works projects.


The Department of Workforce Development finds that anemergency exists and that rules are necessary for the immediatepreservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. Astatement of the facts constituting the emergency is:

1995 Wis. Act 213 made a number of major changes to the lawswhich require the department to determine prevailing wage rates forstate and local public works projects. In place of a case−by−caseinvestigations, the Department of Workforce Development isrequired to conduct an annual survey of employers and issueprevailing wage rate determinations for all trades or occupations inall areas of the state throughout the year based on the survey data.The statutes also provide that members of the public, employers,local governmental units and state agencies may ask the DWD toreview prevailing wage rate determinations under a number ofspecified circumstances.

This emergency rule establishes deadline and appeal criteria forthe process that will be used to compile the 1996 survey results andconsider requests for review. The use of an emergency rule for thispurpose will benefit the public, employers local governments unitsand state agencies by giving them clear information as to theprocedures to be followed, and it will also help the DWD to meet thestatutory requirement that prevailing wage rates be compiled andissued promptly.






STATEMENTS OF SCOPE OF PROPOSED RULES

Employe Trust Funds

Subject:

Ch. ETF 41 − Relating to long−term care insurance.

Description of policy issues:

1) Objectives of the rule:

The rules provide standards for optional long−term care policies under s. 40.55, Stats., which may be offered to state employes and annuitants.These standards are in addition to the minimum standards established by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) for long−term carepolicies sold in Wisconsin. The objective of this modification is to provide more clear guidelines to insurers and the public.

2) Policy analysis:

The current long−termcare rules were adopted in 1991. Since that time, several changes have been made to the minimum standards promulgatedby OCI. As a result, certain provisions of ch. ETF 41 need to be modified or repealed to be consistent with the OCI provisions. For example,ETF rules allow insurers to make payment decisions based on medical necessity. This is no longer allowed by OCI rule.

The Department may also consider changes designed to allow greater flexibility to insurers who develop policies to meet the standards. Forexample, current policies must meet one of three inflation protection standards required by the ETF rule. These may be modified to allow for agreater degree of choice by insurers.

3) Policy alternatives to the Proposed Rule:

Do not amend the rule. Since the statute provides that all policies offered must first meet the OCI requirements, any standard in OCI rule willtake precedence over the ETF rule.

Statutory authority for rule−making:

Sections 40.03 (2) (i) and (t) and 40.08 (8) (a) 1. and 3., Stats.

Staff time required:

The Department estimates that state employes will spend 80 hours to develop this rule.

Insurance, Commissioner of

Subject:

SS. Ins 2.14 and 2.16 − Relating to life insurance solicitation and advertising.


a) A statement of the objective of theproposed rule:

To interpret ss. 601.01 (2) and (3), 628.34 and 628.38, Stats. To amend ss. Ins 2.14 and 2.16, Wis. Adm. Code, to be consistent with therequirements proposed by s. Ins 2.17, Wis. Adm. Code.

b) A description of existing policies relevant to the rule and of new policies proposed to be included in the rule, and an analysis of policyalternatives:

Section Ins 2.14 (4), Wis. Adm. Code, regarding life insurance solicitation currently contains requirements which contradict the requirementsproposed under s. Ins 2.17, Wis. Adm. Code. Additionally, the Buyer’s Guide to Life Insurance shown in Appendix I of s. Ins 2.14 will need tobe revised to account for changes included in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) most recent version of theirpublication entitled “Life Insurance Buyer’s Guide”, which takes into consideration the requirements proposed under s. Ins 2.17, Wis. Adm. Code.

Section Ins 2.16, Wis. Adm. Code, regarding life insurance advertising currently contains requirements and definitions which contradictrequirements and definitions proposed under s. Ins 2.17, Wis. Adm. Code.

Statutory authority for the rule:

Sections 601.41 (3), 628.34 (12) and 628.38, Stats.

An estimate of the amount of time that state employes will spend to develop the rule and a description of other resources necessary todevelop the rule:

It is estimated that the amount of time will be a minimum of 160 hours.


Subject:

S. Ins 3.53 − Relating to HIV testing procedures.


a) A statement of the objective of theproposed rule:

To interpret s. 631.90, Stats., and to provide individual life and health insurers wth more flexibility in conducting HIV tests by incorporatinginto s. Ins 3.53, Wis. Adm. Code, some of the new laboratory testing techniques endorsed by the FDA and the State Epidemiologist.

b) A description of existing policies relevant to the rule and of new policies proposed to be included in the rule, and an analysis of policyalternatives:

Currently, s. Ins 3.53, Wis. Adm. Code, limits the type of HIV tests insurers may use to underwrite individual life and health insurance policies.At this time, insurers are limited to using only FDA−licensed blood tests. The rule specifically states that only FDA−licensed tests may be used


{refer to s. Ins 3.53 (4) (e), Wis. Adm. Code} and defines an FDA−licensed test as “. . . any single whole blood, serum, or plasma specimen whichhas been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration” {refer to s. Ins 3.53 (3) (d), Wis. Adm. Code}. Additionally, the rule states thatthe only tests which may be used to detect HIV are those that the State Epidemiologist cited in a report dated August 30, 1990, entitled “Validatedpositive tests and medically significant and sufficiently reliable test to detect the presence of HIV, antigen or nonantigenic product of HIV or anantibody to HIV”{refer to s. Ins 3.53 (1), Wis. Adm. Code}.

Since the above noted sections of s. Ins 3.53 were implemented, the FDA has approved HIV testing measures that do not rely only on bloodderivatives, but rather, can be conducted with the use of other bodily fluids. As a result, the definition of an “FDA−licensed test” is no longercorrect. Additionally, the State Epidemiologist, in conjunction with the Department of Health and Family Services, has endorsed additional HIVtesting measures (in addition to blood tests) as acceptable for insurance underwriting purposes. Since the rule references the State Epidemiologist’sreport dated August 31, 1990, the rule fails to take into consideration recent determinations made by the State Epidemiologist, in his report datedJanuary 24, 1997.

Natural Resources

Subject:

Ch. NR 101 − Relating to reports and fees for wastewater dischargers.


1) Subject of the administrative code action/nature of Board action:

The ($100) base fee category for holders of general permits was exempted until 1996, to allow time for quality assurance activities for this classof permits. There are concerns about implementing the fee category as promulgated. Our proposal is to modify the rule language to remove the$100 general permit fee.

2) Description of policy issues to be resolved, include groups likely to be impacted or interested in the issue:

Issues of the general permit fees are:

� The ability to equitably assess fees; and

� The cost/benefit of these fees in light of the “revenue cap” provisions of s. 299.15, Stats. (formerly known as s. 144.96, Stats.)

There are approximately 2,000 dischargers covered by one of 17 general permits that constitute the Industrial General Permit Program (thisis completely separate from the Stormwater General Permit Program). Industrial General Permits (GP) are designed to save Department time byminimizing the steps of authorizing a discharge under a WPDES permit for certain groups of facilities or operations with similar wastewatercharacteristics. Once a GP is issued, facilities meeting the applicability criteria of the permit can be covered under the permit (typically done byletter). The facility is then required to comply with monitoring requirements, effluent limitations, and other requirements in the GP.

The equitability issue:

The district wastewater programs were given the responsibility to manage general permits within their staff resources, and thesignificance of the dischargers in their district. This has led to differences in the level of notification, tracking and on−going managementof general permitted dischargers. The differences are based on geographical priorities in addressing pollutant loadings. The differencesare appropriate within the GP program, but would make it difficult to assess fees fairly.

The cost/benefit issue:

GP’s typically cover discharges that are not considered a significant environmental concern. Some of the “facilities” that are coveredunder the GP program include individual residences and citizens, which may react negatively to paying a fee. One type of GP dischargethat is considered environmentally significant is from remedial action (groundwater clean−up) operations; however, charging a fee forthis GP is inefficient, given that the fee would likely be reimbursable under the financially strapped PECFA program.

General permit fees would reduce the discharge−based fees by the amount assessed for general permits. The total revenue actually collectedwould remain the same under the cap provisions of s. 299.15 (3) (cm) 2., Stats. Since dischargers paying a base fee only would not be affected,GP fees would impact about 150 industrial dischargers. If we assess fees to all general permittees, the reduction of the discharge−based fees wouldaverage about $1,300 per facility. If we assessed fees to a subset of GP’s, the reduction would be less.

3) Explain the facts that necessitate the proposed change:

Ch. NR 101, as modified in 1993, assumes that general permits could be assessed in a fair and equitable manner. The DNR’s analysis indicatesthat this is not the case and implementation of the fees will likely generate needless negative reaction from facilities covered under the GP programas it is currently being administered.


Section 299.15, Stats.


It is estimated that the amount of time will be a minimum of 17 hours. One public hearing is proposed to be held at a date yet to be determined.

Psychology Examining BoardSubject:

Psy Code − Relating to limiting the number of hours per continuing education program.


Objective of the Rule:

To limit self−developed continuing education programs to no more than 20 hours total in any one biennium and to further limit any one personto no more than 20 hours.


Policy analysis:

Existing law grants the Psychology Examining Board authority to promulgate rules establishing the minimum number of continuing educationhours, the requirements and procedures for certificate holders to complete continuing education programs or courses of study in order to qualifyfor certification renewal.

Statutory authority:

Sections 15.08 (5) (b), 227.11 (2) and 455.065, Stats.

Estimate of the amount of state employe time and any other resources that will be necessary to develop the rule:

8 hours.

Department of Regulation & Licensing(Real Estate Board)

Subject:

RL Code − Relating to the use of unlicensed personal assistants by real estate licensees.


Objective of the rule:

The Department has 2 objectives for proposed rule−making:

1. To require that a real estate salesperson who intends to employ an unlicensed personal assistant shall enter into a formal agreement with hisor her employing broker which sets forth the duties of the unlicensed personal assistant, the manner in which the personal assistant will becompensated for his or her services and the responsibilities between the salesperson and broker for supervision of the personal assistant’s activities.

2. To prohibit a person who does not hold a credential under ch. 452, Stats., from conducting an open house for the sale of real estate or abusiness without being accompanied by a real estate credential holder.

Policy analysis:

The current statutes and rules require real estate brokers to supervise their licensed salespersons in the practice of real estate. The statutes andrules do address contracts and employment practices between brokers and their employes who do not engage in the practice of real estate orcontracts between broker’s licensed employees and unlicensed persons who assist the licensed employe.

Chapter 452, Stats., defines “negotiate” as it relates to the sale or exchange of real estate or a business and requires that such negotiation on behalfof another person for a fee or a commission be conducted by a person who has a credential under this chapter. The Department believes that itis practically impossible to conduct an open house without engaging in negotiations with a prospective purchaser.

The proposed new policies are described above. The alternatives are the following:

As for a written contract, require a written contract between involving the broker−employer and his or her licensed salesperson or permit thelicensed salesperson to hire an unlicensed personal assistant without including his or her employing broker in the hiring process.

As for conducting open houses, one alternative would be to allow an unlicensed person to conduct an open house without being accompaniedby a credential holder under ch. 452, Stats. A second alternative would be to allow an unlicensed person to conduct an open house only if theperson is accompanied by a person who holds a credential under ch. 452, Stats. A third alternative is to find some middle ground and permitunlicensed persons to conduct open houses under specified conditions and subject to specified stiff penalties for not observing the conditions.


Sections 227.11 (2) and 452.07, Stats.

Estimate of the amount of state employe time and any other resources that will be necessary to develop the rule:

10 hours.

RevenueSubject:

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to s. 227.135, Stats., that the Department of Revenue plans to promulgate rules relating to ch. Tax 19, theadministrative rules for the original tax rate disparity program which was renamed the expenditure restraint program.


Objective of the rule:

1989 Wis. Act 336 created the tax rate disparity program under s. 79.05, Stats. Chapter Tax 19 was promulgated in 1990 to establishadministrative rules for governing the program. The legislature has made extensive changes to s. 79.05, Stats., since the law was enacted.However, ch. Tax 19 has not been updated to reflect any of the many statutory revisions. The objective of this rule is to revise ch. Tax 19 to reflectthe numerous statutory changes made to s. 79.05, Stats., since it first became law.

Description of policies:

The purpose of ch. Tax 19 is to establish standards and procedures for determining whether a town, village or city is eligible for a tax ratedisparity (expenditure restraint) payment under s. 79.05, Stats., and the computation of the payment. The proposed rule will not change thatpurpose. It will simply incorporate statutory changes made to the original tax rate disparity law.


The statutory authority for the proposed rule is s. 227.11 (2) (a), Stats.

Estimate of time and other resources needed to develop the proposed rule:

The total estimated time needed to develop the proposed rule is 80 hours.

Social Workers, Marriage & Family Therapists and Professional Counselors(Professional Counselors Section)

Subject:


SFC Code − Relating to education requirements, applications, temporary certification and examination administration.


1) Objective of the proposed rule:

To clarify definitions, initial application requirements, education; to repeal unnecessary requirements; and to establish criteria for a temporarycertificate.

2) Policy alternatives:

The proposed changes will ensure that the rules reflect clarity and streamline the application procedures. Currently temporary certificates areissued by policy and the section would like to define requirements for a professional counselor temporary certificate. And also, the sectionproposes to revise the rules relating to the number of academic hours required to meet educational requirements.


Sections 15.08 (5) (b), 227.11 (2) and 457.03 (1), Stats.



Transportation

Subject:

Ch. Trans 276 − Relating to establishing a network of highways on which long combination vehicles may operate, by adding three highwaysegments to the network.


1) Description of the objective of the proposed rule:

This proposal will amend ch. Trans 276, a rule of the Department of Transportation which establishes a network of highways on which longcombination vehicles may operate, by adding three highway segments to the network. The actual highway segments being proposed are STH 78from USH 12 south of Sauk City to USH 14 east of Mazomanie, STH 54 from Green Bay to Algoma, and STH 49 from Waupaca to Iola.

2) Description of existing policies relevant to the rule and of new policies proposed to be included in the rule, and an analysis of policyalternatives:

Federal law requires the Department to react within 90 days to requests for additions to the long truck route network. Wisconsin state lawrequires that the Department use the administrative rule process to deal with changes to the long truck route network. Chapter Trans 276 is anexisting rule set up for long truck routes. The Department has received a written request for the STH 78 route from Fuchs Inc. of Sauk City andfrom Roadway Express, Inc. for the STH 54 and STH 49 routes.


Section 348.07 (4), Stats.


It is estimated that state employes will spend 40 hours on the rule−making process, including research, drafting and conducting a public hearing.

Educational Approval Board

Rule Submittal Date

On March 11, 1997, the Department of Commerce submittedproposed rules to the Wisconsin Legislative Council AdministrativeRules Clearinghouse.

Analysis

The proposed rules concern the deletion, amendment and creating ofpermanent rules relating to the approval of schools and programs,setting fees, setting bond requirements, outlining refund policy and,in general, affecting all aspects of the Educational Approval Board’sapproval of schools.

The proposed order affects post−secondary institutions subject to theapproval requirements of s. 38.51 (1) (a), Stats. It constitutes a majorsimplification of regulatory requirements and practices and a parallelsimplification in the assessment of fees. It modifies policies andprocedures; deletes many regulatory requirements; and creates newstandards and practices.

The changes are in the context of the EAB’s re−engineering: in1995−96, the EAB reoriented its philosophical and policyunderpinnings, shifting focus from strict procedural compliance(with an emphasis on operations) to concern with educational quality,program results and the general role of private education. Itrestructured its oversight around two guiding principles:

� Protecting students; and

� Ensuring quality programming.

The proposed rules changes simplify, clarify and make moreunderstandable the basic requirements schools must meet to secureapproval to operate in Wisconsin. They streamline the applicationprocess, specifically outlining required information which schoolsmust provide (and policies they must have in place) in order tobecome licensed and set parallel standards for information to beincluded in school catalogs. The changes condense and speed up theprogram approval process by placing more responsibility with theschools to engage in and document quality program development.Staff will, thereby, have less need to do invasive analysis, or contractwith third−party reviewers, and will, instead, be able to rely oninformation about how schools developed their programs. Theproposed changes encourage continuous improvement on the part ofschools by removing the impediment of EAB approval of minorprogram modifications. They also clarify the process for theevaluation of innovative programs by more carefully definingapproval criteria and also establish operational standards for distanceeducation.

The proposed changes greatly simplify the fee structure, in general,making it simpler for the EAB to administer fees and easier for schoolsto comprehend them.

The changes:

✎ Remove the fee for program revisions affecting less than 25% ofcontent;

✎ Collapse fees for correcting errors in application from more than30 to two fees;

✎ Remove the fee for changing a program name; and,

✎ Establish a simple, more predictable, procedure to set the annualrenewal fee on gross school revenues.

The proposed changes greatly simplify prescriptions and prohibitionsregarding advertising by concentrating on broad categories ofbehavior. They clarify the school bonding requirement by basing iton highest point of “unearned tuition,” but also provide for betterreality−testing by adding criteria so stable schools can have their bondrequirement lowered (without risk to students). The changes simplifythe administrative procedure for bonding school representatives byremoving the requirement for separate bonding and, instead, enablingschools to cover representatives under their school bond. Theproposed changes greatly reduce complexity regarding partialpayments to students who do not complete their programs, clearlyoutlining conditions for pro−rata partial reimbursements based upona single scale for all types of programs. The changes establish a clearercomplaints procedure, and more carefully delineate data collectionand retention requirements.


Because of the nature of the subject matter in this proposed rule, apublic hearing is required, and will be scheduled at a later date. TheEducational Approval Board is responsible for preparing theproposed rule.

Nursing Home Administrator ExaminingBoard

Rule Submittal Date

On March 14, 1997, the Nursing Home Administrator ExaminingBoard submitted proposed rules to the Wisconsin Joint LegislativeCouncil Staff.

Analysis

The subject matter of the proposed rules affecting chs. NHA 1 to 6relates to the licensure of nursing home administrators.

In this proposed rulemaking order, the Nursing Home AdministratorExamining Board amends ss. NHA 1.02 (1) and NHA 4.03 (2), toclarify that the Board will accept only experience which is acquiredwithin a certain time period (any consecutive 36−month period withinthe 5−year period immediately preceding the date of application forlicensure). In addition, under the current rules, credential applicantsare required to submit applications for examination at least 30 daysprior to the examination. Section NHA 2.02 is being repealed andrecreated to require credential applicants to submit applications forexamination to the Board at least 60 calendar days prior to the date of

mailto:[email protected]


the examination. Section NHA 4.02 (3) is renumbered s. NHA 4.04for proper placement in the code.

Section NHA 1.02 (9) is created to define the term “supervisedclinical practicum.” Sections NHA 2.02 (1) (c), 4.01 (1) (e) and 4.03(4) are created to clarify that credential applicants must provideinformation to the Board relating to any pending criminal charge orconviction record, subject to ss. 111.321, 111.322 and 111.335, Stats.Finally, s. NHA 2.04 is created to identify the standard used by theBoard to determine the passing grades for the state and nationalexaminations; s. NHA 2.05 is created to clarify that the Board maydeny an application for licensure if it determines that an applicant hasviolated the rules of conduct of the examination; and s. NHA 3.01 (2),(3) and (4) are created to identify the Board’s procedure for approvalof regular courses of study, programs of study and specialized.

Section NHA 4.01 (1) (c) is repealed and recreated to clarify thatevidence of completion of the experience requirement must besubmitted to the Board in conjunction with the application forlicensure, not the application for examination. Section NHA 4.04,which states, in part, that a reciprocal examination must be scheduledat a time mutually convenient to the applicant and the Board, is notconsistent with the Board’s current practice; therefore, the provisionis being repealed. Finally, ch. NHA 6, relating to access to publicrecords, is also being repealed. The procedures for obtaining accessto public records of governmental agencies are contained insubchapter II of ch. 19, Stats.


A public hearing is required and will be held on April 24, 1997.
