Notice of Submittal of Proposed Rule to Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse
On March 18, 2002, the Department of Military Affairs submitted a proposed rule to the Wisconsin Legislative Council Clearinghouse pursuant to s. 227.15 (1), Stats. Analysis
Section WEM 7.03(1) establishes disaster assistance funds eligibility criteria. One of the current criteria specifies that a local governmental unit must have declared a disaster or emergency within the incident period. That criterium is not required by s. 323.31, Stats., and, based on feedback from local governmental units, often cannot be met because the local governmental unit is busy during the period of the disaster responding to the disaster, working to save lives and preserve property. The proposed revisions to section WEM 7.03(1) remove from the eligibility criteria the requirement that a disaster or emergency be declared during the incident period and renumbers the remaining subparagraphs in section WEM 7.03(1) accordingly. Statement of Scope
The scope statement for this rule, SS 007-22, was approved by the Governor on January 27, 2022, published in Register No. 793B on January 31, 2022, and approved by Major General Paul E. Knapp, The Adjutant General, Department of Military Affairs, on February 11, 2022. Agency Procedure for Promulgation
A public hearing is being held at the SW State Patrol Office, 911 W. North St., DeForest, WI 53532, on Thursday, April 28th, 2022, at 1:00PM.
