Analysis Prepared by the Dept. of Regulation and Licensing
Statutes authorizing promulgation: ss. 15.08 (5) (b) and
227.11 (2)
Statute interpreted: s. 450.02 (3) (a) and (e)
Rules of the Pharmacy Examining Board identify in s. Phar 7.01 (1) (e) that prescription drugs may be delivered by an agent of the pharmacist to a patient's residence where the delivery is accompanied by appropriate directions and an offer that consultation is available by contacting the pharmacist. The rule amendment proposed will expand the patient's options for choice in designating a location of delivery.
Section Phar 7.01 (1) (e) is amended to expand the exception for delivery of prescription drugs and will allow the patient to designate other locations for delivery in addition to the patient's residence. In the case of delivery to a location other than the patient's residence the requirement to offer consultation is expanded to apply to any other location designated by the patient.
Text of Rule
SECTION 1. Phar 7.01 (1) (e) is amended to read:
Phar 7.01 (1) (e) Give the patient or agent appropriate consultation relative to the prescription except that prescriptions may be delivered by an agent of the pharmacist to a patient's residence or other locations designated by the patient if the delivery is accompanied by appropriate directions and an indication that consultation is available by contacting the pharmacist. The consultation requirement applies to original and renewal prescription orders and, except when prescriptions are delivered to a patient's residence or other location designated by the patient, is not satisfied by only offering to provide consultation.
Fiscal Estimate
1. The anticipated fiscal effect on the fiscal liability and revenues of any local unit of government of the proposed rule is: $0.00.
2. The projected anticipated state fiscal effect during the current biennium of the proposed rule is: $0.00.
3. The projected net annualized fiscal impact on state funds of the proposed rule is: These rules would increase agency costs due to printing and postage costs for mailings for approximately 6,000 pharmacists. A copy of the rules and a cover letter would need to be mailed and associated with this mailing would be approximately $15,000. This cost to print and mail each rule is estimated at $2.50 multiplied by 6,000. This is a one-time cost.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
These proposed rules will have no significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats.

Analysis Prepared by the Wis. Dept. of Transportation
Statutory authority: ss. 110.06, 110.20 and 227.11(2)
Statute interpreted: s. 110.20
General Summary of Proposed Rule. Ch. Trans 131 governs the operation of the Vehicle Emission Inspection Program. This rule making proposes to amend s. Trans 131.03 (2) (b) which requires a vehicle purchaser to obtain an emission test within 45 days after purchase, unless the vehicle had passed the emission test within 90 days before purchase. Existing policy is that the vehicle has to have been tested within 90 days before vehicle purchase. This provision was intended to assure that no more than 15 months would have passed between a vehicle's testing. However, the requirement dates from the time that tests were done manually. Currently, tests are done every two years, and the 90-day window is more restrictive than necessary. The Department proposes making the window 180 days instead of 90 days.
Text of Rule
Under the authority vested in the state of Wisconsin Department of Transportation by ss. 110.06, 110.20 and 227.11 (2), Stats., the Department of Transportation hereby proposes to amend a rule interpreting s. 110.20, Stats., relating to emission tests.
SECTION 1. Trans 131.03 (2) (b) is amended to read:
Trans 131.03 (2) (b) Within 45 days of an ownership change registration issuance for vehicles more than 5 model years old at the time of ownership change, unless the vehicle passed inspection within 90 180 days prior to such ownership change registration, or
Fiscal Estimate

The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on state revenues or liabilities.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
