Analysis Prepared by Department of Commerce
Under the statutes cited, the Department protects public health, safety, and welfare by promulgating comprehensive construction requirements for public buildings and places of employment. These requirements are primarily contained in chs.
Comm 61 to
65, which is the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code. The current version of this Code became effective on July 1, 2002.
Subsequent to adoption of the 2002 version of this Code, numerous improvements have occurred in several of the nationally recognized standards that are incorporated by reference into this Code, particularly the building code requirements developed by the International Code Council®.
These proposed rules would update chs.
Comm 61 to
65 to reflect many of these improvements, codify several interim approvals the Department has issued for alternate design methods and standards,
and accommodate various other clarifications that are expected to somewhat simplify compliance with this comprehensive code.
The proposed rules would also expand when fire protection systems must receive plan approval from the Department or an agent, to include systems for residential occupancies containing more than two dwelling units, where the occupants are primarily permanent in nature.
These rule changes have been developed with input from the Department's Commercial Building Code Council and the Multifamily Dwelling Code Council.
Copies of Rule
The proposed rules and an analysis of the proposed rules are available on the Internet at the Safety and Buildings Division web site at
www.commerce.state.wi.us/SB/SB- HomePage.html. Paper copies may be obtained without cost from Roberta Ward, at the Department of Commerce, Program Development Bureau, P.O. Box 2689, Madison, WI 53701-2689, or at
rward@commerce.state.wi.us, or at telephone (608) 266-8741 or (608) 264-8777 (TTY). Copies will also be available at the public hearings.
Environmental Analysis
Notice is hereby given that the Department has considered the environmental impact of the proposed rules. In accordance with chapter Comm 1, the proposed rules are a Type III action. A Type III action normally does not have the potential to cause significant environmental effects and normally does not involve unresolved conflicts in the use of available resources. The Department has reviewed these rules and finds no reason to believe that any unusual conditions exist. At this time, the Department has issued this notice to serve as a finding of no significant impact.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. Types of small businesses that will be affected by the rules.
Builders and owners of commercial buildings and places of employment.
2. Reporting, bookkeeping and other procedures required for compliance with the rules.
Some additional documentation may be needed to obtain approvals from the Department or authorized agents for the fire protection system plans that are addressed by the rules.
3. Types of professional skills necessary for compliance with the rules.
No additional skills.
Fiscal Estimate
The Department is promulgating minor changes that primarily relate to administering the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code. These changes are expected to have no major long-term impacts on costs or revenues at either state or local levels. However, the proposed review of automatic fire sprinkler systems in R-2 occupancies would result in a minor increase in revenues at the state level, and at local levels that have accepted delegation of state-level plan review. This review is expected to apply to about 50 construction projects per year, and generate an average review fee of $500 per project. Sixty percent of the review is expected to occur at the state level, and 40% is expected to occur at the local level. The Department will assign existing staff to perform the review, so no additional staff will be needed.

Interested persons are invited to present information at the hearing. Persons appearing may make an oral presentation but are also urged to submit facts, opinions and arguments in writing as well. Written comments from persons unable to attend the public hearing, or who wish to supplement testimony offered at the hearing, should be directed to: Daniel Subach, Department of Administration-Division of Gaming, PO Box 8979, Madison, WI 53708-8979. Written comments must be received by March 26, 2004, to be included in the record of rule-making proceedings.
Analysis Prepared by the Department of Administration
Section
Game 23.02 (2) was created in the Department's rulemaking order (03-070). The Department proposes repealing this section due to the unforeseen hardship that it has created on the Wisconsin racetracks. This financial hardship presents itself in multiple ways. The racetracks rely on an outside vendor to compute the purses earned by all individuals. The vendor produces a similar system for most greyhound racetracks in the country. The purses are generated by the amount of money wagered on all races over a period of time. The current system does not provide for bonus purses to be paid out based upon the residency of certain owners. The current system would have to be reprogrammed at a significant cost to the racetracks. Although the bonus purses could be calculated and paid without a computer, it would create excessive clerical work that would also be costly to the racetracks.
Additionally, Geneva Lakes Greyhound Track committed to paying a minimum payout of purses to the greyhound and kennel owners that race in Delavan. Geneva Lakes Greyhound Track will supplement out of their own money any purse amount that does not exceed the minimum payout. As a result of paying the bonus purse to Wisconsin owned greyhounds, the variance between the actual purse and the minimum purse is increased and the financial liability to the racetrack is increased. Since this supplement is voluntary, the racetrack has indicated that it will probably have to cease the supplemental purses to the participants. This would result in reduced payments to the vast majority of the kennel owners and greyhound owners participating at the racetrack.
In creating this rule, the Department did not intend to create the disadvantages caused by this rule.
Text of Proposed Rule
SECTION 1: Game 23.02 (2) is repealed.
Fiscal Estimate
The repeal of this rule will not have any fiscal impact on any governmental entity.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
There will be no significant impact on small businesses.

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Medical Examining Board

15.08 (5) (b),
227.11 (2) and
448.965, Stats., and interpreting
1999 Wisconsin Act 180, and according to the procedure set forth in s.
227.16 (2) (e), Stats., the Medical Examining Board will adopt the following rules as proposed in this notice, without public hearing unless, within 30 days after publication of this notice on
March 1, 2004, the Medical Examining Board is petitioned for a public hearing by 25 natural persons who will be affected by the rule; a municipality which will be affected by the rule; or an association which is representative of a farm, labor, business or professional group which will be affected by the rule.
Analysis Prepared by the Department of Regulation and Licensing
1999 Wisconsin Act 180, effective June 2, 2000, created the Occupational Therapists Affiliated Credentialing Board and made numerous substantive changes to the licensure and regulation of occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants. The Occupational Therapists Affiliated Credentialing Board thereafter promulgated administrative rules required by the new law, which became effective January 1, 2003, and are found at Chs.
OT 1 to
5. The administrative rules found at ch.
Med 19, which governed the licensure of occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants before creation of the new affiliated credentialing board, were not, through oversight, repealed.
Text of Rule
SECTION 1. Chapter Med 19 is repealed.
Fiscal Estimate
This rule change will have no fiscal impact on the Department of Regulation and Licensing.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
These proposed rules will be reviewed by the department's Small Business Review Advisory Committee to determine whether there will be an economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses, as defined in s.
227.114 (1) (a), Stats.

Analysis Prepared by Dept. of Natural Resources
The proposed rule establishes new boundaries for the herd reduction zone and the CWD eradication zone. The intensive harvest and eradication zones are combined into the CWD eradication zone, which will be identifiable by recognizable boundaries which are also established in the rule. The population goal of zero in the eradication zone has been modified. Tagging and licensing options in the CWD zones are liberalized and specific state park seasons are clarified and the archery season in parks within the CWD zones are extended. Numerous minor housekeeping changes are also included in the rule in order to keep the administrative code up-to-date and uncluttered. The proposed rule also modifies a ch.
NR 19 provision that would allow the department to charge a handling fee for free permits or licenses.

Copies of Rule and Contact Person
Written comments on the proposed rules may be submitted to Mr. Kurt Thiede, Bureau of Wildlife Management, P.O. Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707 no later than March 22, 2004. Written comments will have the same weight and effect as oral statements presented at the hearings. A copy of the proposed rule and fiscal estimate may be obtained from Mr. Thiede.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that pursuant to s.
227.114, Stats., it is not anticipated that the proposed rule will have an economic impact on small businesses.
Environmental Analysis
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the Department has made a preliminary determination that this action does not involve significant adverse environmental effects and does not need an environmental analysis under ch.
NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code. However, based on the comments received, the Department may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the proposal. This environmental review document would summarize the Department's consideration of the impacts of the proposal and reasonable alternatives.
Fiscal Estimate
This fiscal estimate is created based on the department's current knowledge of the distribution of CWD positive deer in the state. These estimates could change significantly if new positives are found in other parts of the state.
A. Increased Costs Details
Carcass Disposal: Based on the figures for the 2003 deer season statewide and in the CWD zones, we anticipate similar numbers to be generated for the 2004 seasons.
Anticipated Eradication Zone Disposal Costs in the expanded zone based on 10,000 deer:
Shipping Cost $78,512.00
Storage Cost $110,000.00
Cremation/Digester Cost $7,425.00
(only positives)
Landfill Cost $6,669.00
Misc. Disposal Cost 1 $108,375.00
Other Misc. Costs 2 $16,250.00
Total $327,231.00
Anticipated grand total for statewide carcass disposal: $327,231
CWD Deer Hunts: The costs associated with the implementation of the expanded deer hunt in the expanded CWD eradication and herd reduction zones:
Law Enforcement: The additional hunts will require 8 additional hours per pay period for each of the 6 wardens in the expanded zones. Added to this would be any necessary meals, miles, etc.
With an average salary of about $25, with an additional $10 for benefits and fringe, this works out as follows:
6 Wardens x 8 hours/pay period = 48 hrs/pay period x 10 pay periods = 480/hrs x $35/hr salary and fringe = $16,800 salary and fringe. In addition, there will be the added cost of approximately $2,040 meals and $2,189 in mileage (meals and miles based upon 2002 cost estimates for CWD efforts).
Wildlife Management: The costs associated with the implementation of the new CWD deer herd control hunts including the testing and permit issuance during the extended season at registration stations will result in an additional staff time including the use of LTE's, as well as mileage and other equipment expenses.
3 LTE's x 20 hours/week = 60 hours x 10 pay periods = 600 hours x $11/hour = $6,600
10 hours of overtime / pay period x 14 (SER wildlife staff) = 140 hours x 10 pay periods = 1,400 hours x $28/hour (salary and fringe) = $39,200
Meals, mileage and other 1614 appropriations based on the first 14 weeks of CWD operation expenditures (~ $2,000 / wk): 20 weeks x $2,000 = $40,000
Parks and Recreation: Signage and maps will need to be produced for the 3 state park/state forest properties where expanded herd control measures will be in effect.
Supplies and Services: Printing or updating Maps, Signs, Permits and Instructions:
$500.00 for 3 properties which have previously been open to deer hunting ($500x 3) = $1,500
Supplies and Services: Vehicle Maintenance and Expenses for Increased Patrol & Sharpshooting
$1,000 per park x 3 = $3,000
Salaries and Fringes - $30 per hour: Determination of Hunting Boundaries, Preparing/Revising Maps and Signs, Posting Signs
16 hours 3 properties which have previously been open to deer hunting (16 x 3 x $30) = $1,440
Salaries and Fringes - $30 per hour: Distributing Permits, Law Enforcement, Admitting Hunters to Park and/or Documenting Permits
4 hours per park per day x $30 per hour x 3 properties x 38 days (based on the average number of days all 3 parks will be open to hunting) = $13,680
Anticipated grand total for hunting season implementation
Salary and Fringe: $77,720
Materials and Expenses: $48,729
New Eradication Zone Efforts: Deer registration staff time and resources will be required.
Registration Stations = 6 perm. employees x 20 additional hours/pay period x 4 pay periods = 480 x $28 / hour = $13,440 salary and fringe.
Meals, mileage and other 1614 appropriations based on last years CWD operation expenditures (~ $2,000 / wk): 11 weeks x $2,000 = $22,000
Anticipated grand total for eradication zone activities
Salary and Fringe: $13,440
Materials and Expenses: $22,000
B. Decreased Revenue Details:
There will be a loss in revenue stemming from the absence of bonus permit sales in the CWD zones and the potential issuance of free licenses to CWD eradication zone hunters.
Approximately 80% of bonus permits are sold to resident hunters with the remaining 20% sold to non-residents. Bonus permits cost $12 for residents and $20 for non-resident deer hunters.
Bonus permit sales from 2002-2003 were used to determine the average number of bonus permits sold in Deer Management Units (DMUs) 70G, 76A, 77B, and 77C.
70G – 796
76A – 5,791
77B – 2,311
77C – 2,258
Under the current proposal, DMUs 76A and 77C would be split. Accordingly, the number of bonus permits sold would have to be adjusted.
76A – 5,791/2 = 2,896
77C – 2,258/2 = 1,129
The total number of bonus permit sales lost would equate to the following.
796+2,896+2,311+1,129 = 7,132
Bonus Permit Sales Loss
7,132 x .8 = 5,706 x 12 = $68,472
7,132 x .2 = 1,426 x 20 = $28,520
$68,472+$28,520 = $96,992
Free Licenses to CWD Disease Eradication Zone Hunters
The fiscal impact of revenue loss from exempting hunters in CWD zones from having a license could be anywhere between $0 and $2,428,200, depending on how extensive the Department implemented the provision. For the entire herd reduction zone in southwest Wisconsin, the Department estimated the number of hunters in 12 deer management zones based on the average number of deer harvested from those zones for the years 1999 through 2001. The average annual number of hunters in those zones is estimated at a total of 109,000.The average deer hunter success rate from 1999-2001 was 44% The average number of deer harvested per year (47,900) divided by the average harvest success rate (44%) yields the approximate number of licensed hunters per year in the 12 management zones (109,000). Using the following methodology, the Department estimates the loss of revenue for exempting licenses for the entire herd reduction zone to be $2,428,200. Using the same methodology, but exempting licenses only for what is now called the intensive harvest zone would result in an estimated revenue loss of $376,400.
License sales from 1999-2001 were averaged to determine the approximate percentage of deer hunters under the authority of each license type as follows:
9.2% - Resident Patron; 10.0% - Resident Sports; 55.5% - Resident Gun Deer; 19.9% - Resident Archery; 4.5% - Non-resident Gun Deer; .9% - Non-resident Archery.
The total fiscal impact created by free landowner permits can then be calculated by determining the number of each license authority sold based on the 1999-2001 averages.
Resident Patron - For Resident Patron license holders, it is assumed that most patron license buyers would continue to buy the patron license for the other privileges included with the license. However, it is estimated that 5% would stop buying patron licenses and purchase small game and fishing licenses separate, at a loss of $107 per license holder. For this assumption, the Department would lose $53,878.
(109,000 licenses x .092% of license type = 10,071 patron licenses x 5% = 504 x $107 = $53,878)
Resident Sports - For Resident Sports license holders, it is assumed that 70% would discontinue buying the Sports license, and instead buy a small game license and a fishing license, at a revenue loss of $12 each to the Department. For this assumption, the Department would lose $9,096.
(109,000 x .10 = 10,855 Sports Licenses x 70% = 7,599 x $12 = $91,186)
For Resident Gun Deer, it is assumed that 90% of License holders in the 12 zones would not buy deer licenses. For this assumption the Department would lose $1,087,979. (109,000 x .55.5 = 60,443 x 90% = 54,399 licenses x $20 = $1,087,979)
For Resident Archery, it is assumed that 90% of license holders in the 12 zones would not buy deer licenses. For this assumption, the Department would lose $390,000. (109,000 x .19.9 = 21,667 licenses x 90% = 19,500 x $20 = $390,000)
For Non-resident Gun Deer, it is assumed that 100% of license holders would not buy deer licenses. For this assumption, the Department would lose $665,558. (109,000 x .045 = 4,930 licenses x $135 = $665,558)
For Non-resident Archery, it is assumed that 100% of license holders would not buy deer licenses. For this assumption, the Department would lose $117,720.
(109,000 x .009 = 1,034 licenses x $135 = $139,568)
Total Licensing Loss
$53,878 + $91,186 + $1,087,979 + $390,000 + $665,558 + $139,568 = $2,428,169
Caveats
1) People may have bought licenses even though it was not required.
2) Hunter numbers declined in this area after the discovery of CWD, but have shown rebounding trends.
3) The estimate is totally dependent on which areas are selected for exemption.
Total anticipated decreased revenue from loss of bonus permit sales and the issuance of free licenses in the CWD eradication zone (pending legislative approval) = $96,992 + $2,428,169 = $2,525,161.

Hearing Date, Time and Location
Date: March 17, 2004
Time: 9:30 A.M.
Location: 1400 East Washington Avenue
Room 179A
Madison, Wisconsin
Appearances at the Hearing
Interested persons are invited to present information at the hearing. Persons appearing may make an oral presentation but are urged to submit facts, opinions and argument in writing as well. Facts, opinions and argument may also be submitted in writing without a personal appearance by mail addressed to the Department of Regulation and Licensing, Office of Administrative Rules, P.O. Box 8935, Madison, Wisconsin 53708. Written comments must be received by March 29, 2004, to be included in the record of rule-making proceedings.
Proposed Order
Analysis prepared by the Department of Regulation and Licensing.
The minor changes treated by the rules herein concern qualifications for licensure, the scope of professional practice, continuing education and professional conduct. The Psychology Examining Board may promulgate these rules under s.
455.08, Stats., “The examining board shall adopt such rules as are necessary under this chapter and shall, by rule, establish a reasonable code of ethics governing the professional conduct of psychologists
…" Section
455.09, Stats., also charges the board with protecting the safety and welfare of the citizens from unprofessional conduct. Section
455.065, Stats. requires that the board promulgate rules for continuing education. Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota have extensive rules concerning licensure requirements; Iowa and Minnesota have rules concerning scope of practice and professional conduct. The proposed rules make minor changes to the present rules, move some statements to more natural places in the present rules, make explicit present policy, and make clarifications. Only minor substantive changes are made to present procedures. No significant fiscal effect on small businesses is anticipated.
SECTION 1. removes a reference to students as clients of psychologists. The language was added to the rule recently but it caused unforeseen problems of interpretation. The purpose of the removed language is now served by the creation of Psy 5.01 (14) in Section 6, which prohibits sexual contact, etc., with students.
SECTION 2. adds explicit language to the administrative rules an interpretation regarding hypnosis and the practice of psychology that has long been followed by the Examining Board.
SECTION 3. creates language to clarify the meaning of the phrase "full-time residence," and adds instruction concerning multi-cultural differences to the substantive content area of “individual differences."
SECTION 4. removes a provision that the Examining Board will provide an interim determination to licensure candidates prior to completion of all requirements.
SECTION 5. removes the phrase "at the post-licensure level" from the section describing acceptable continuing education programs. The language was added to the rule recently but it proved to be unclear and misleading.
SECTION 6. creates a prohibition against sexual contact, etc. between psychologists and persons whom they are teaching, supervising or instructing.
TEXT OF RULE
SECTION 1. Psy 1.02 (3) is amended to read:
Psy 1.02 (3) "Client" means the individual, group, business, agency, school, organization, or association for whom the licensee of the board provides professional services for which the licensee is usually and customarily compensated. When teaching services are provided, the term "client" includes students. The term "client" includes the term and concept of "patient."
SECTION 2. Psy 1.02 (9) is created to read:
Psy 1.02 (9) “Psychological treatment" includes hypnosis used for therapeutic purposes other than smoking cessation or weight control.
SECTION 3. Psy 2.09 (1) (i) is amended to read:
Psy 2.09 (1) (i) The curriculum shall encompass a minimum of 3 academic years of full-time graduate study, at least one of which shall be in full-time residence at the site of the institution granting the degree. In addition to the instruction in scientific and professional ethics and standards, research design and methodology, statistics and psychometrics, the core program shall require each student to demonstrate competence in each of the following substantive content areas. This typically will be met by including a minimum of 3 or more graduate semester hours (5 or more graduate quarter hours) in each of these 4 substantive content areas: a) Biological bases of behavior: physiological psychology, comparative psychology, neuropsychology, sensation and perception, psychopharmacology; b) Cognitive-affective bases of behavior: learning, thinking, motivation, emotion; c) Social bases of behavior: social psychology, group processes, organizational and systems theory; and d) Individual differences: personality theory, human development, abnormal psychology, multicultural differences. In addition, all professional education programs in psychology will include course requirements in specialty areas.
SECTION 4. Psy 2.09 (5) is repealed.
SECTION 5. Psy 4.02 (2) (intro.) and (c) are amended to read:
Psy 4.02 (2) (intro.) APPROVAL OF CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS. The board shall approve all of the following programs and courses if relevant to the professional practice of psychology at the post-licensure level:
(c) Graduate level courses or continuing education courses relevant to the professional practice of psychology at the post-licensure level offered by accredited colleges and universities.
SECTION 6. Psy 5.01 (14) (d) is created to read:
Psy 5.01 (14) (d) A person to whom the licensee is providing teaching, supervisory or other instructional services.
Fiscal Estimate
The Department of Regulation and Licensing will incur $500 in costs to print and distribute this rule change.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
These proposed rules will be reviewed by the department through its Small Business Review Advisory Committee to determine whether there will be an economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses, as defined in s.

Facts, opinions and argument may also be submitted in writing without a personal appearance by mail addressed to the Department of Regulation and Licensing, Office of Administrative Rules, P.O. Box 8935, Madison, Wisconsin 53708. Written comments must be received by April 5, 2004 to be included in the record of rule-making proceedings.
Analysis Prepared by the Department of Regulation and Licensing
Section 1. Section
VE 2.01 (2) is amended to change the admission time for graduates from 6 to 8 months within graduation date to allow candidates to take their national examination and to be consistent with current contact with National Boards. This amendment will outline requirements that must be met before a last year veterinary student can be admitted to the examination.
Section 2. Section VE 5.03 (1) (d) is repealed to be consistent with
2001 Wisconsin Act 76, relating to temporary post graduate training permits. The repeal of s.
VE 5.03 (1) (d) eliminates the requirement that an applicant for a temporary post graduate training permit to either have completed the national licensure examination, be scheduled to take the examination, or be waiting for the results of the national examination.
Text of Rule
SECTION 1. VE 2.01 (2) is amended to read:
VE 2.01 (2) To be qualified to sit for the north American veterinary licensing examination, an applicant must either have graduated from or be a last year student who is scheduled to graduate in not more than
