Revises Chapters
Comm 106, relating to the Wisconsin Development Fund. Effective 1-1-11.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Less stringent application requirements are not included for small-business applicants because the application process has been simplified so as to not impose unnecessary administrative burdens or other impediments on any business that applies for a corresponding grant and loan.
No substantive new reporting will be imposed on small businesses.
The rules are not expected to impose significant costs on small businesses for other measures because the rules address submittal of documentation, and other activities, only by applicants that choose to pursue the grants or loans addressed in the rules.
