• Clarify the type of information to be collected when conducting graduate follow up studies.
• Require boards to include information on pupil transcripts.
• Require the program to integrate requirements under the tech prep, youth options, and youth apprenticeship programs.
The department could choose not to modify the current rule. However, given the demand for skilled workers and the increasing demands placed on employees to develop and improve their technical expertise, a change in the basic standard governing the career and technical education of all Wisconsin public school pupils is appropriate and needed.

Staff Time Required
The amount of time needed for rule development by department staff and the amount of other resources necessary is indeterminable. The time needed in creating the rule language will be minimal. However, the time involved with guiding the rule through the required rule promulgation process is fairly significant. The rule process takes more than 6 months to complete.

Subject
DWD 12.22 - Relating to Review of W-2 Contested Case Decisions.
Description of Policy Issues
Objective of the rule. The objective of the rule is to allow for review of W-2 contested case decisions by the DWD Secretary when petitioned by the DWD Division of Economic Support or a party adversely affected by a hearing decision. The proposed rule will be based on a procedure adopted by the Department of Natural Resources at ss. NR 2.155 and 2.20.
Existing policies, new policies and an analysis of policy alternatives. Under the current procedure, decisions of hearing examiners from the DOA Division of Hearings and Appeals are released as final decisions when the issues are solely factual and are released as proposed decisions when the issues have policy level implications. Proposed decisions are reviewed by the DWD Secretary before they become final.
Under the new procedure, decisions of hearing examiners would be final unless the DWD Division of Economic support or a party adversely affected by a hearing decision petitions the Secretary for review. This change is suggested because it has proven difficult for hearing examiners to distinguish between issues that are purely factual and those that have policy level implications.
