An order affecting the Wisconsin Gaming Commission codes, relating to greyhound racing and pari-mutuel wagering. Effective 12-1-03.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
To provide clarification, the Department has always viewed kennel operators as small businesses. Kennel operators supply the greyhounds that race at the racetracks. The Department believes that there will be an insignificant economic impact on small businesses. Additionally, any impact on small businesses should be cost savings as the primary economic impact results from proposed license fee reductions.
When determining the proposed amendments to the administrative code, the Department reviewed the criteria established in s.
227.114, Stats., in an effort to reduce the effect of the proposed order on small businesses. The Department notified all small business owners licensed by the Division of Gaming in writing, to seek their input prior to drafting proposed amendments to the administrator. Additionally, the Department provided written notice and the opportunity for all licensed small business owners to receive a copy of the draft amendments and offer informal comment on the proposed amendments during a written comment period and two public informational meetings.
Besides the insignificant economic impact, the operational impact of the proposed order is expected to be minimal. The Department does not foresee the businesses inheriting any additional bookkeeping, clerical, professional or administrative requirements to maintain compliance with Department's administrative code.

NR 162 and
