CR 23-035 Rule Text

The department promulgated CR 19-074 in late 2020. That rule updated inspection standards and medical equipment standards with the assumption that DHS would have statutory authority to promulgate rules relating to medical equipment standards, set out subch. III of ch. Trans 309. To date, DHS still does not have authority to promulgate such rules. Therefore, the department must move the repeal date set forth in s. Trans 309.25 back.

Analysis Regarding Rule’s Effect on Small Businesses:

This rulemaking does not make substantive changes to current ch. Trans 309, therefore there is no effect on small businesses.
