2. Detailed description of the objective of the proposed rule:
Ch. 230, Wis. Stats. was modified in 2016 to revise the state civil service laws in 2015 Wisconsin Act 150 (Act).

Full compliance with the Act requires substantial modifications to the current regulations implementing these laws. Additional modifications are needed to conform to the processes established by agency practice. Numerous sections of Wis. Admin Code Chapters ER-MRS 1-34 are affected by the Act. Modifications to Wis. Admin. Code Chapters ER 1-47 may be necessary as well.
