Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies:

The emergency rules will exempt individuals participating in a youth apprenticeship program under s. 106.13, Stats., from the requirement to complete at least 24 hours of continuing education in order to renew or reacquire their enrollment. Therefore, there is no anticipated effect of the emergency rules on small business. Fiscal estimate:
These emergency rules will not have a fiscal impact.
