The statement of scope for this emergency rule, SS 001-11, was approved by the governor on June 17, 2011, and published in Register 667 on July 14, 2011. This emergency rule was approved by the governor on June 20, 2011
Finding of Emergency
The Department of Revenue finds that an emergency exists and that the attached rule order is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety or welfare. A statement of the facts constituting the emergency is:
The emergency rule is to reflect changes in Wisconsin's tax laws due to the creation of a sales and use tax exemption for certain energy-producing wind, solar, and gas powered products and the electricity or energy they produce.
It is necessary to promulgate this rule order so that this exemption, which is effective July 1, 2011, may be administered in a fair and consistent manner.
This rule is therefore promulgated as an emergency rule and shall take effect upon publication in the official state newspaper. Certified copies of this rule have been filed with the Legislative Reference Bureau, as provided in s. 227.24, Stats.

emergency_rules EmR1102 3.   EmR1102 — Rule adopted creating Chapters RL 200 to 202, relating to governing professional conduct of individuals licensed as sign language interpreters, and for the treatment of state resident licensure exemption requests.
Finding of Emergency
2009 Wisconsin Act 360 created laws regulating the practice of sign language interpreting, and became effective on December 1, 2010. Under the act, codified at s. 440.032, Stats., individuals practicing as sign language interpreters must now be licensed by the department, and must comply with a code of professional conduct to be promulgated by the department. The new law also provides for exemptions from the licensure requirement under certain circumstances, and requires the council to promulgate rules establishing the criteria and procedures for granting state resident exemptions. As s. 440.032, Stats., is already in effect, an emergency rule is necessary to implement the law pending promulgation of a similar permanent rule.

emergency_rules EmR1047 EmR1047 — Rule adopted to revise Chapters BC 9 and 11, relating to late renewal and continuing education.
Finding of Emergency
The rule as currently promulgated fails to adequately protect the public to the extent that several provisions are underdeveloped, ambiguous or silent. As a result, inconsistent interpretations and contradictory information has led to significant confusion within the profession. Given that the rules require licensees to comply by March 31, 2011, the errors and omissions need to be addressed immediately so licensees can receive adequate training to provide safe and competent services to the public, and comply with the requirements for renewal of a license.
