The statement of scope for this rule, SS
080-12, was approved by the Governor on October 2, 2012, published in
Register No. 682 on October 31, 2012, and approved by the Department of Safety and Professional Services on December 4, 2012.
Finding of Emergency
The Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) finds that an emergency exists and that this rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare. A statement of facts constituting the emergency is as follows.
Under section
SPS 34.02 (1), private security personnel, private detectives, and private investigators or special investigators, who are seeking a firearms permit from the Department must obtain a certificate of firearms proficiency. Section
SPS 34.02 (2) mandates that the certification be received from a Department-approved firearms-proficiency certifier pursuant to section
SPS 34.04.
Section
SPS 34.04 currently accepts only those certifier applicants who have received training as a police or security firearms instructor and who have either (1) current approval as a firearms instructor by the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Standards Board (LESB); (2) current certification as a law enforcement firearms instructor by the National Rifle Association, Inc., (NRA) or; (3) approval on or after January 1, 1995, as a firearms instructor by the LESB or NRA and have completed a refresher course presented by a regional training school approved by the LESB or the NRA.
Due to enactment of
2011 Wisconsin Act 35 (commonly referred to as the concealed carry law), which became effective on November 1, 2011, there is a greater need for additional entities who can provide training and approve applicants as firearms proficiency certifiers. Section
175.60 (4) of the Statutes currently allows technical colleges, colleges, and universities to provide this training for concealed-carry purposes. No such provision is made as it relates to private security personnel, private detectives, and private investigators or special investigators, for carrying a weapon openly. Moreover, the training needed for DSPS firearms certifiers differs significantly from that needed and provided by the LESB curriculum and under
2011 Act 35. To that end, a new standard needs to be developed and implemented, separate and distinct from the LESB standards. Because the need to approve applicants for firearm proficiency certifiers is immediate and pressing, emergency rules are warranted.

DWD proposes to create new rules in Chapter
DWD 801 to implement the program of workforce training grants enacted by
2013 Wisconsin Act 9. DWD held a public hearing on the permanent rule for this new program on July 15, 2013, and has made revisions to the text of the proposed permanent rule in response to the comments received. It would now benefit the public welfare to proceed with the rules in emergency form so that the program can begin this fall.
