Under current law, insurance companies must notify OCI of the appointments, renewals, and terminations of insurance agents selling policies on their behalf.

This bill eliminates the maximum fee level, retains the requirement that the commissioner set the appointment fees by rule, and requires that the fees be paid at times and under procedures set by the commissioner.

Public assistance
Currently, the state administers The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to provide food and information about nutrition to low-income people. In addition, a state agency must annually develop a hunger prevention plan. 2007 Wisconsin Act 20 transferred the responsibility for administering TEFAP and WIC and the responsibility for developing a hunger prevention plan from the former Department of Health and Family Services to DCF. This bill transfers the responsibilities for administering TEFAP and WIC and for developing a hunger prevention plan to DHS.
Also under current law, DHS is required to deliver Food Stamp benefits by means of an electronic benefit transfer system. This bill authorizes DHS to deliver benefits that DHS administers by means of an electronic benefit transfer system if DHS: obtains any necessary federal approval for using an electronic benefit transfer system; promulgates a rule adopting an electronic benefits transfer system; and allows county and tribal governments to opt out of the electronic benefit transfer system if the cost of delivering benefits electronically is greater than delivering benefits by other means.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
