Analysis of Proposed Rules
The current rule of s.
Comm 7.35 (2) indicates that blasting operations in communities shall comply with all local regulations. This rule has the unintended effect of requiring the Department of Commerce to enforce local regulations relating to blasting. The proposed rule removes s.
Comm 7.35 (2) from ch.
Comm 7.
Notice of Hearing
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to ss.
560.02 (4),
560.183 and
560.184, Stats., the Department of Commerce will hold a public hearing on proposed rules relating to health care loan assistance.
Hearing Date, Time and Location
Date: Tuesday, January 29, 2002
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: Thompson Commerce Center
201 West Washington Avenue
Room 3C
Madison, Wisconsin
Analysis of Proposed Rules
The current rules for health care loan assistance in chs.
Comm 122 and
128 apply to physicians and health care providers such as physician assistants.
2001 Wisconsin Act 16 requires the Department of Commerce to also provide loan assistance to dentists and dental hygienists.
The proposed rules add dentists and dental hygienists to the health care loan assistance program administered by the Department. The proposed rules closely follow the current rules for providing loan assistance to physicians and health care providers. However, because dental practice has distinct differences from medical practice, the proposed rules specify practice requirements for dentists and dental hygienists regarding volume of medical assistance and Badger Care patients. The proposed rules also include qualifications for loans and criteria for repayment of loans.
Appearances at the Hearing
Interested persons are invited to appear at the hearing and present comments on the proposed rules. Persons making oral presentations are requested to submit their comments in writing. Persons submitting comments will not receive individual responses. The hearing record on this proposed rulemaking will remain open until February 8, 2002, to permit submittal of written comments from persons who are unable to attend a hearing or who wish to supplement testimony offered at a hearing. Written comments should be submitted to Ronald Acker, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 2689, Madison, WI 53701-2689.

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. Types of small businesses that will be affected by the rules.
The proposed rules will affect any small business licensed as a dentist or a dental hygienist who wishes to participate in the Department's health care loan assistance program.
2. Reporting, bookkeeping and other procedures required for compliance with the rules.
The proposed rules require the dentist to keep a record of the number of Medical Assistance and Badger Care patients.
3. Types of professional skills necessary for compliance with the rules.
The proposed rules apply to dentists and dental hygienists.
Fiscal Estimate
The proposed rules add dentists and dental hygienists to the health care loan assistance program currently administered by the Department of Commerce. There are no new administrative activities required to implement these rule additions. Therefore, the proposed rules will not have any effect on costs or revenues at the state or local level.
