Rule-Making Notices (Hearing Notices)

Minnesota:

Minnesota Chapter 62E.02 Defines "dependent" as a spouse or unmarried child under age 25, or a dependent child of any age who is disabled.

Ohio:

(information only)   Ohio Rev. Code § 1751.14, as amended by 2009 OH H 1 allows an unmarried, dependent child who is an Ohio resident or a full-time student to remain on parent's insurance up to age 28, or without regard to age if they are incapable of self-sustaining employment due to disability.

Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies

The commissioner reviewed existing interpretation of terms used within the new mandate that are used in other areas of the statutes and administrative code for consistency. Further the commissioner considered the intent of the mandate and proposed rules that furthered that intent.

Analysis and supporting documents used to determine rule's effect on small businesses

Although there are some limited-scope health insurers that may meet the definition of a small business, the effect on the insurers will not be significant since insurers will be able to assess and collect premium for the inclusion of the eligible adult child or may apply limitations on coverage. Intermediaries, some of whom may meet the definition of a small business will need to become familiar with this regulation but will not significantly effect those persons.

Small Business Impact

This rule will have little or no effect on small businesses and does not impose any additional requirements on small businesses.

Analysis Prepared by the Department of Public Instruction

Statute interpreted

Section 115.745, Stats.

Statutory authority

Sections 115.745 (3) and 227.11 (2) (a), Stats.

Explanation of agency authority

Section 115.745 (3), Stats., requires the department to promulgate rules to implement and administer this program.

Section 227.11 (2) (a), Stats., gives an agency rule-making authority to interpret the provisions of any statute enforced or administered by it, if the agency considers it necessary to effectuate the purpose of the statute.

Related statute or rule

N/A

Plain language analysis

2009 Wisconsin Act 28, the biennial budget bill, created a new competitive grant program under s. 115.745, Stats., appropriating $247,500 annually for a school board or cooperative educational service agency (CESA), in conjunction with a tribal education authority to apply to the department for a grant for the purpose of supporting innovative, effective instruction in one or more American Indian languages.

The proposed rule establishes criteria and procedures for awarding grants to eligible applicants. Rules must be in place as soon as possible to award grants in time for the upcoming school year. Therefore, emergency rules were promulgated effective December 15, 2009.

Comparison with federal regulations

N/A

Comparison with rules in adjacent states

Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota do not have rules relating to grants for tribal language revitalization.

Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies

Because 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 creating this grant program became effective June 30, 2009, the rule established an application deadline of January 29, 2010 to expedite the awarding of funds in 2009-10. In subsequent years, applications will be due March 1 to coincide with application timelines established for other grants awarded by the department.

Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business

N/A

Anticipated costs incurred by private sector

N/A

Small Business Impact

The proposed rules will have no significant economic impact on small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats.

Fiscal Estimate

Under s. 20.255 (2) (km), Stats., 2009 Wisconsin Act 28, the biennial budget bill, appropriated $247,500 annually to create a new competitive grant program under s. 115.745, Stats. The grant program allows a school board or CESA in conjunction with a tribal education authority to apply to the department for a grant for the purpose of supporting innovative, effective instruction in one or more American Indian languages.

The rule establishes criteria and procedures for awarding these program grants. The rule, itself, will not increase local revenue. It is the school district's choice as to whether it will apply for a grant and implement an American Indian language program.

The costs associated with administering this grant program will be absorbed by the department.
