Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, an agency must prepare a statement of the scope of any administrative rule that it plans to promulgate that contains certain information about the agency's proposal to promulgate the rule. This bill provides for the expiration of a statement of scope 30 months after the date on which the statement is published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
