STATUTE INTERPRETED: s. 85.20
General Summary of Emergency Rule. Chapter Trans 4 establishes the Department's administrative interpretation of s. 85.20, Stats. and prescribes administrative policies and procedures for implementing the state urban public transit operating assistance program authorized under s. 85.20, Stats. 1999 Wis.

The analysis must include all of the publicly owned system's costs, including operating subsidies and capital grants. This analysis shall be the basis for evaluating costs when ranking proposals.
Pursuant to 1999 Wis. Act 9, section 9150(2bm)(b), the Department is not required to provide evidence that the rule is necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety or welfare, and is not required to provide a finding of emergency.

Analysis Prepared by the Department of Workforce Development
Statutory authority: ss. 49.15 and 49.151
Statutes interpreted: ss. 49.15 and 49.151
This proposed rule implements requirements created by 1997 Wisconsin Act 27 for two-parent families under the Wisconsin Works (W-2) program. The rule provides that if a W-2 participant resides with the second parent of a child in common for whom the family receives federally-funded child care assistance, the second parent must participate in prescribed work activities. The second parent must participate in work activities for at least the difference between 55 hours and the number of hours the parent in the W-2 employment position participates in assigned employment and training activities. A second parent who is disabled or caring for a severely disabled child is not required to participate in the work activities.
Participation by the second parent has no effect on the W-2 benefit amount. If a second parent who is required to participate refuses to participate 3 times, the parent in the W-2 employment position will be ineligible to participate in that employment component. Employment components under W-2 are W-2 Transitions, Community Service Jobs, and Trial Jobs.
The W-2 agency may offer the second parent the opportunity to voluntarily participate in work activities if the family is not receiving federally-funded child care assistance.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Privately-run W-2 agencies will be affected by the rule change, but the rule will not have a significant economic impact because there is no material change from current procedures.
Fiscal Estimate
Costs for implementation of the two-parent participation requirement when a family receives federally-funded child care assistance were included in the 1997-98 biennial budget, 1997 Wisconsin Act 27. The rule offers optional participation to the second parent when the family does not receive child care assistance. Optional participation by the second parent may increase the W-2 agency caseload slightly. Participation by the second parent does not increase the benefit amount and costs of training the second parent are not funded by W-2.
