Payments made under sub. (13) (a) may be used as the state share for purposes of Medical Assistance reimbursement.
Note: Deletes unnecessary language. The language for this provision was created based on identical language in s. 46.27 (11) (c) 3. Under s. 46.27 (11) (c) 3. the department may contract for services with a county, a private nonprofit agency, or an aging unit. Under s. 46.272 (14) (b) 1. the department can only contract with a county or a private nonprofit agency. The stricken language was inadvertently included in the creation of s. 46.272 (14) (b) 1.

The council shall consider and make recommendations to the department pertaining to these rules and any other matters related to constructing, altering, adding to, repairing, and maintaining public buildings and buildings that are places of employment. In preparing rules under this chapter that relate to public buildings and to buildings that are places of employment, the department shall consult with the commercial building code council.
Note: Corrects council name. The “commercial building code council" is created in s. 15.407 (18) (a). There is no “uniform commercial building code council."
101.63 (1) (intro.) Adopt rules which establish standards for the construction and inspection of one- and 2-family dwellings and components thereof. The rules shall include separate standards, established in consultation with the uniform dwelling code council, that apply only to the construction and inspection of camping units that are set in a fixed location in a campground for which a permit is issued under s. 254.47 97.67, that contain a sleeping place, and that are used for seasonal overnight camping. Where feasible, the standards used shall be those nationally recognized and shall apply to the dwelling and to its electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and other systems, including plumbing, as defined in s. 145.01 (10). No set of rules may be adopted which has not taken into account the conservation of energy in construction and maintenance of dwellings and the costs of specific code provisions to home buyers in relationship to the benefits derived from the provisions. Rules promulgated under this subsection do not apply to a bed and breakfast establishment, as defined under s. 97.01 (1g), except that the rules apply to all of the following:
Note: The “dwelling code council" was renamed the “uniform dwelling code council" by
2015 Wis. Act 29. Section 254.47 was renumbered to s. 97.67 by
2015 Wis. Act 55.

Where feasible, the rules shall reflect nationally recognized standards.
Note: The “dwelling code council" was renamed the “uniform dwelling code council" by
2015 Wis. Act 29. Section 254.47 was renumbered to s. 97.67 by
2015 Wis. Act 55.

Note: Inserts correct term. A draft of the amendment of this provision by
2015 Wis. Act 55 changed “department" to “office," but that change was not retained in the final bill. This single occurrence of “office" in s. 102.16, left a reference without an antecedent.
108.04 (8) (b) There is a rebuttable presumption that an employee has failed, without good cause, to accept suitable work when offered if the department determines, based on a report submitted by an employing unit in accordance with s. 108.133 (4), that the employing unit required, as a condition of an offer of employment, that the employee submit to a test for the presence of controlled substances and withdrew the conditional offer after the employee either declined to submit to such a test or tested positive for one or more controlled substances without evidence of a valid prescription for each controlled substance for which the employee tested positive. In the case of the employee declining to submit to such a test, the employee shall be ineligible for benefits until the employee again qualifies for benefits in accordance with the rules promulgated under this paragraph. In the case of the employee testing positive in such a test without evidence of a valid prescription, the employee shall be ineligible for benefits until the employee again qualifies for benefits in accordance with the rules promulgated under this paragraph, except that the employee may maintain his or her eligibility for benefits in the same manner as is provided in s. 108.133 (3) (d). The department shall promulgate rules identifying a period of ineligibility that must elapse or a requalification requirement that must be satisfied, or both, in order for an employee who becomes ineligible for benefits as provided in this paragraph to again qualify for benefits and specifying how a claimant may overcome the presumption in this paragraph. The department shall charge to the fund's balancing account any benefits otherwise chargeable to the account of an employer that is subject to the contribution requirements under ss. 108.17 and 108.18 whenever an employee of that employer fails, without good cause, to accept suitable work as described in this paragraph.

(1) or (2) (a), (b), (c), (g), (h), or (i) the commission shall assign the person to the corresponding collective bargaining unit under sub. (1r) or (1t), whichever is appropriate. Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, the commission may not assign any other persons to the collective bargaining units under sub. (1r) or (1t).
Note: Section 111.825 (2) (a), (b), (c), (g), (h), and (i) were renumbered effective July 1, 2015, by
2011 Wis. Act 32. The cross-reference is changed to reflect the law in effect immediately prior to the renumbering.

Note: Corrects a cross-reference. Section 118.40 (3m) (f) relates to reports to the state superintendent by entities. Section 118.40 (3m) (f) was originally drafted as s. 118.40 (3m) (a) 6., but was renumbered s. 118.40 (3m) (f) when s. 118.40 (3m) (b) was removed from the bill that became
2015 Wis. Act 55.
366,60
Section 60
. 118.51 (12) (a) (title) of the statutes is repealed.
Note: Section 118.51 (12) (a) was renumbered to s. 118.51 (12) by
2015 Wis. Act 55 without accounting for the paragraph title. Section 118.51 (12) has an existing title, rendering the paragraph title surplusage. The paragraph title has been removed from the published statutes.
118.60 (3) (ar) 4. For each school district in which private schools received applications under subd. 1. that exceeded the school district's pupil participation limit under sub. (2) (be), the department shall establish a waiting list in accordance with the preferences required under subd. 3. b.
5. A private school that has accepted a pupil who resides in a school district, other than an eligible school district or a 1st class city school district, under this paragraph shall notify the department whenever the private school determines that a pupil will not attend the private school under this paragraph. If, upon receiving notice under this subdivision, the department determines that the number of pupils attending private schools under this section falls below a school district's pupil participation limit under sub. (2) (be), the department shall fill any available slot in that school district with a pupil selected from the school district's waiting list established under subd. 4., if such a waiting list exists.
Note: Corrects cross-reference. Section 118.60 (2) (be) establishes pupil participation limits. Inserts missing “list" as indicated by the use of “such a waiting list."
Note: There is no conflict of substance. As merged by the legislative reference bureau, s. 119.04 (1) reads:

119.61 (1) (c) 3. The number of hours of pupil instruction offered in the school building in the previous school year was less than 80 percent of the number of hours of pupil instruction required to be scheduled under s. 121.02 (1) (f) 2.
Note: Corrects cross-reference. There is no s. 121.02 (1) (f) 2. Section 121.02 (1) (f) provides the number of hours of pupil instruction that school boards are required to schedule.
119.9003 (4) (c) The commissioner may enter into a lease with an education operator to operate a school in a vacant or underutilized school building obtained by the commissioner in the manner provided under s. 119.61 (3) (a). The commissioner shall count a school operated by an education operator under this paragraph towards the limit on schools in the opportunity schools and partnership program under s. 119.9002 (2) (a), but not for purposes of performance benchmarking.
Note: Corrects cross-reference. Section 119.9002 (2) (a) establishes the limit on schools in the opportunity schools and partnership program.
