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.

Analysis by the Dept. of Public Instruction
The proposed rules make several minor modifications to align s. PI 14.03, minimum standards for audit and standard school district audit contract, with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). For example:
• Under s. PI 14.03 (1) (b), the rules eliminate the definition of “defalcation" because defalcation or “fraud" is covered under the AICAP audit standards. Other provisions relating to defalcation have been deleted because the rule provisions are inconsistent with the AICAP audit standards.
• Under s. PI 14.03 (2) (d) 1. and the appendix, the rules now refer to financial statements prepared according to GASB standards. Again, current provisions relating to financial statements must be modified because they are inconsistent with GASB standards.
The rules also update or eliminate terminology and references to documents that are no longer used in school district audits. For example:
• Under s. PI 14.03 (2) (a) and the appendix, “account groups" is a term no longer used under GASB.
• Under s. PI 14.03 (2) (a) 2. a., the audit guide referred to no longer exists.
• Under s. PI 14.03 (2) (a) 2. c. and the appendix, the references to circular A-128 and the Single Audit Act of 1984 have been updated.
• Under s. PI 14.03 (2) (d) 4., the note following par. (2), and the appendix, the reference to a federal program audit statement is no longer necessary because such statements no longer exist. Also, under the note following par. (2) and (4), the reference to the Division for School Financial Resources and Management Services has been updated.
• Under the note following s. PI 14.03 (4) and the appendix, the reference to the Wisconsin School District Audit Guide has been deleted since the guide no longer exists.
Fiscal Estimate
These rule modifications are being made in order to be consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In addition, the rule modifications will update or eliminate terminology and references to documents that are no longer used in school district audits.
The rules are considered technical and will have no fiscal effect on local government, state government, and small business.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rules are not anticipated to have a fiscal effect on small businesses as defined under s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats.

Analysis Prepared by the Wis. Dept. of Transportation
Statutory authority: s. 341.14 (6r) (fm) 6.
Statutes interpreted: ss. 341.14 (6r) and 341.145
General Summary of Proposed Rule. This rule-making will amend ch. Trans 134, relating to the administrative procedure for designating authorized special groups and issuing special group license plates. Currently, ch. Trans 134 prohibits a group from receiving a plate which is restricted to members of the group. The Department had prohibited restricted plates because of the administrative burden to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). However, DMV has reconsidered this policy, and has developed a procedure that would allow restricted plates with a minimal administrative burden to DMV. The proposed amendment would establish this policy and procedure.
Text of Proposed Rule
Under the authority vested in the state of Wisconsin Department of Transportation by s. 341.14 (6r) (fm) 6., Stats., the Department of Transportation hereby proposes to amend a rule interpreting ss. 341.14 (6r) and 341.145, Stats., relating to authorized special groups.
SECTION 1. Trans 134.06 (1) (d) is repealed and recreated to read:
Trans 134.06 (1) (d) If the authorized special group applies to have restricted license plates, all of the following shall apply:
