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."

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.

AB847,55 Section 55. 101.82 (1) of the statutes, as affected by 2015 Wisconsin Act 49, is amended to read:

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.

AB847,56 Section 56. 102.16 (1) (b) of the statutes, as affected by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, is amended to read:

AB847,21,21 102.16 (1) (b) In the case of a claim for compensation with respect to which no application has been filed under s. 102.17 (1) (a) 1. or with respect to which an application has been filed, but the application is not ready to be scheduled for a hearing, the department may review and set aside, modify, or confirm a compromise of the claim within one year after the date on which the compromise is filed with the department, the date on which an award has been entered based on the compromise, or the date on which an application for the office department to take any of those actions is filed with the department.

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.

AB847,57 Section 57. 108.04 (8) (b) of the statutes, as created by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, is amended to read:

AB847,23,4 108.04 (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.

Note: Inserts missing article.

AB847,58 Section 58. 111.825 (7) of the statutes, as created by 2011 Wisconsin Act 32, is amended to read:

AB847,23,13 111.825 (7) Notwithstanding sub. (3), if on July 1, 2015, an employee of the University of Wisconsin System is assigned to a collective bargaining unit under s. 111.825 (2) (a), (b), (c), (g), (h), or (i), 2013 stats., or sub. (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.

AB847,59 Section 59. 118.40 (2r) (b) 2. i. of the statutes, as created by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, is amended to read:

AB847,23,18 118.40 (2r) (b) 2. i. A requirement that the charter school governing board provide the data needed by the entity under subd. 1. for purposes of making the report required under sub. (3m) (a) 6. (f).

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.

AB847,60 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.

AB847,61 Section 61. 118.60 (3) (ar) 4. and 5. of the statutes, as affected by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, are amended to read:

AB847,24,6 118.60 (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.

AB847,24,15 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."

AB847,62 Section 62. The treatment of 119.04 (1) of the statutes by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55 is not repealed by 2015 Wisconsin Act 92. Both treatments stand.

AB847,63 Section 63. 119.61 (1) (c) 3. of the statutes, as created by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, is amended to read:

AB847,25,5 119.61 (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.

AB847,64 Section 64. 119.9003 (4) (c) of the statutes, as created by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, is amended to read:

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.

AB847,65 Section 65. 153.455 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB847,25,15 153.455 (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to ss. 153.21 (1) and 153.60 (1).

Note: Corrects cross-reference. There is no s. 153.60 (1). Section 153.60 (intro.) and (1) were consolidated, renumbered s. 153.60, and amended by 2015 Wis. Act 55.

AB847,66 Section 66. 153.75 (1) (k) of the statutes is repealed.

Note: Section 153.75 (1) (k) authorized rule making “establishing methods and criteria for assessing health care providers under s. 153.60 (1)." 2015 Wis. Act 55 consolidated and renumbered s. 153.60 (intro.) and (1) to be s. 153.60 and amended s. 153.60, as renumbered. The amendment of s. 153.60 by Act 55 deleted the provision for the assessment of health care providers in the former s. 153.60 (1), rendering s. 153.75 (1) (k) without effect.

AB847,67 Section 67. 230.08 (2) (rm) of the statutes is repealed.

Note: Section 230.38 (2) (rm) reads: “Staff of the environmental education board." The environmental education board is eliminated effective July 1, 2017, as a result of the repeal of ss. 15.915 (6) and 36.54 by 2015 Wis. Act 55, leaving this provision without effect.

AB847,75 Section 75. 450.16 (1) (a) of the statutes is repealed.

Note: Removes unnecessary definition. Section 450.16 (1) (a) provides a definition of “contraceptive article" as the term is used in s. 450.16, but “contraceptive article" is not contained in s. 450.16.

AB847,76 Section 76. 632.87 (2m) (a) (intro.), 1., 2., 3. and 4. of the statutes are renumbered 632.87 (2m) (intro.), (am), (b), (c) and (d), and 632.87 (2m) (b), as renumbered, is amended to read:

Note: Corrects cross-reference. 26 USC 151 (c), which provides exemptions for dependents for federal income tax purposes, does not contain subdivisions.
