The objective of the rule is to authorize the Board to form a rules committee. The Board may currently approve and adopt rules proposed by any section of the Board. A rules committee would better enable the Board to develop and refine rules proposed by the sections of the Board. This would meet the objective of standardizing the rules development process between the sections of the Board and provide for greater efficiency.
Policy analysis:
The proposed rule would consist of two sections. The first section would permit the Board to approve and adopt rules proposed by any section of the Board. The second section would define the composition of a rules committee and provide that the rules committee shall act for the Board in rule-making proceedings, except for final rule adoption.
Statutory authority:
Sections 15.08 (5) (b), 15.405 (2m) and 227.11 (2) and ch. 470, Stats.
Estimate of the amount of state employee time and any other resources that will be necessary to develop the rule:
100 hours.
Hearing and Speech Examining Board
Subject:
HAS Code - Relating to examination requirements, definitions and technical corrections.
Description of policy issues:
Objective of the rule:
The objective of the rule is to:
• Create a provision for an examination equivalency;
• Create a definition of “assist in the practice" relating to unlicensed individuals;
• Create a definition of “supervision" relating to temporary licensees; and
• Clarity, grammar, punctuation and use of plain language.
Policy analysis:
Include a provision in the rules that would permit the Hearing and Speech Examining Board to accept an examination that it determines to be substantially equivalent to the national examination for speech-language pathology and audiology given by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.
Define the term “assist in the practice" as the term relates to the practice of speech-language pathology and audiology by unlicensed individuals.
Define the term “supervision" as the term relates to the practice of speech-language pathology and audiology by temporary licensees.
Statutory authority:
Sections 15.08 (5) (b), 227.11 (2), 459.22 (2) (e), 459.24 (6) (a) and (b) and 459.26 (2), Stats.
Estimate of the amount of state employee time and any other resources that will be necessary to develop the rule:
80 hours.
Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors Examining Board
Subject:
Description of policy issues:
Objective of the rule:
The objective of the rule is to ratify the rule-making procedure for
Clearinghouse Rule 99-002, which relates to criteria for approval of “another human service program approved by the section."
Policy analysis:
This rule-making process began in April of 1998. A meeting was held in late 1999 with Representative Gregg Underheim, chair of the Assembly Committee on Health, who had requested changes relating to the requirement of a senior capstone course. The section made that change. However, the rule was adopted without it having gone back to the committee for a further ten day review period. This rule-making order will repeal and recreate s. SFC 3.13 (1) (a) to correct the rule-making procedure that was followed.
Statutory authority:
Sections 15.08 (5) (b), 227.11 (2) and 457.09, Stats.
Estimate of the amount of state employee time and any other resources that will be necessary to develop the rule:
40 hours.
Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors Examining Board
Subject:
SFC Code - Relating to the state jurisprudence examination.
Description of policy issues:
Objective of the rule:
The objective of the rule is to eliminate the need for already-credentialed applicants to retake the state jurisprudence examination.
Policy analysis:
The Social Worker Section issues four different types of social work certification, based on an applicant's education and experience. An individual who has received one type of certification may later apply for another type. All applicants are currently required to take and pass a state jurisprudence examination. The proposed change would eliminate the need to retake the state jurisprudence examination if the applicant passed the examination within the previous five years.
Statutory authority:
Sections 15.08 (5) (b) and 227.11 (2), Stats.
Estimate of the amount of state employee time and any other resources that will be necessary to develop the rule:
80 hours.
