Fiscal Estimate
Act 9, as it relates to Graduated Driver Licensing, will directly impact approximately 103,600 16- and 17-year-old drivers. Cost and revenue impact are as follows:
The Department of Transportation will incur:
1) $383,700 in one-time costs:
• $292,700 for 476 DP development days or 2.6 programmers for 9 months to complete computer system changes.
• $ 91,000 for public awareness, materials and training.
2) $41,100 net ongoing cost increase including an additional 1 FTE in DMV for additional customer contacts and processing.
3) $57,400 net ongoing revenue increase related to instruction permits processed.
Local Costs
1) Courts incur an indeterminable cost increase and related revenue increase from the additional operating while suspended convictions due to an increase in demerit point suspensions.
2) The Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) will incur an indeterminable cost increase and related revenue increase from additional attendees in traffic safety school due to an increase in attendance in point reduction classes.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This rule-making will have no effect on small businesses, except that it may increase revenues to commercial driving schools to the extent that some parents may have commercial schools provide their children with the training needed to meet the 30 hour practice driving requirements for driver licensing.

Box 7920, Madison, WI 53707-7920, or by calling (608) 266-0614. Hearing-impaired individuals may contact the Department using TDD (608) 266-3096.

Notice of Hearing
Veterans Affairs
Notice is hereby given that the Department of Veterans Affairs will hold a public hearing on the 14th
day of April, 2000, at 9:00 a.m., in the 8th floor board room at 30 West Mifflin Street in Madison, Wisconsin.
Analysis Prepared by the Department of Veterans Affairs
Statutory authority: ss. 45.35 (3) and (14) (h) and 45.356 (7)
Statutes interpreted: ss. 45.35 (14) (h), 45.351 (lj), and 45.356
In relation to the health care aid grant program, the proposed rule would raise the income eligibility limit for low income applicants on January 1 rather than on July 1 of each year. The increase in the eligibility limit would then coincide with cost of living adjustments for federal benefit programs and assure continued eligibility for low income veterans.
In relation to the personal loan program, the proposed rule would permit each spouse in a married couple, in which both spouses are veterans, the opportunity to receive a personal loan in the amount of $10,000, or an aggregate amount of $20,000. Under current rules, such a couple would be limited to an aggregate amount of $10,000 in personal loan program proceeds. It would recognize the service of each veteran under these circumstances.
In relation to tribal grant agreements, the proposed rule would identify the eligibility criteria for federally recognized American Indian tribes and bands who seek to receive a service officer grant. The legislature created the program through the enactment of 1999 Wis. Act 9 and directed the department to promulgate rules to implement the program.
Internal Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This rule is not expected to have an adverse impact on small businesses.
