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SECTION 1: Game 23.02 (2) is repealed.

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

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.
