NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN the Department of Public Instruction will hold a public hearing as required under s. 227.16, Stats., to consider the promulgation of CR 21-031, amending ch. PI 5 relating to age waivers for general educational development tests. The proposed rule revises the means in which students that are at least 17 years of age and are seeking a certificate of educational development may complete the general educational development (GED) test. The proposed rule will repeal the current rule requirement which provides that students that are least 17 years of age must wait to take the final GED test until the end of the semester in which the student turns 18 years of age, thereby allowing students to take the test when they are ready to do so. The proposed permanent rules will not have an effect on small businesses, as defined under s. 227.114 (1), Stats. The hearing will be held via conference call only in the manner as follows:
Date and Time: Monday, April 12, 2021, at 1:00 p.m.
