Brief Summary of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule repeals ATCP 161.50 (3) (e), relating to agricultural development and market promotion. This section of the rule was promulgated in 2011. ATCP ch. 161, subch. V establishes accountability requirements for economic development programs administered by the department. The section that is the subject of this Petition, ATCP 161.50 (3), defines “economic development program” to include the grazing lands conservation program. 2013 Wisconsin Act 20 repealed ss. 201.115(4)(d) and 93.60, which appropriated fund and authorized the program. Therefore, the department has determined that ATCP 161.50 (3) (e), is unauthorized due to the passage of 2013 Wisconsin Act 20 and seeks its repeal pursuant to s. 227.26 (4), Stats.
