Ch. HSS 148 - Rural counties participating in the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Screening Project.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The order will not affect small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114(1)(a), Stats. The rules are being repealed because the program statute was amended to delete mention of a list of 12 rural counties in the state that have the highest incidence of late stage breast cancer and to repeal the requirement that the Department specify those counties by rule.
Summary of Comments:
No comments were reported.
Ch. HFS 1 - Operation of the Department's uniform fee system including determination of parental liability for the cost of court-ordered substitute care of a child.

They apply to the Department, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, county social service and human service departments and county child support agencies, and they will affect also the parents of children who are in court-ordered substitute care placements.
