Veterans Affairs
Rule Submittal Date
On April 19, 2004, the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs submitted a proposed rule to the Wisconsin Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse creating chapter VA 18 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. The proposed rule relates to the administration of the registered nurse education stipend program.
Analysis
The creation of chapter VA 18 establishes the application procedure, eligibility criteria, stipend amount, repayment provisions, and employment requirements for the administration of the registered nurse stipend program. The stipend program was authorized by the legislature in
2003 Wis. Act 33. It was created to provide stipends to individuals to attend school and receive the necessary credentials to become employed at the Veterans Homes operated by Department of Veterans Affairs at King and Union Grove. The statutory provisions direct the Department of Veterans Affairs to promulgate rules for the stated purposes. The position of “registered nurse" has been identified as a critical recruitment area for the purpose of providing the stipend.
Agency Procedure for Promulgation
A public hearing is required. The Office of the Secretary is primarily responsible for preparing the rule.
