CR 24-011 Notice of Rulemaking without Public Hearing

PUBLIC NOTICE

Notice of Public Comment Period for CR 24-011

Reading Requirements for the Educator Preparation Program Approval Process

Notice is hereby given that the Department of Public Instruction is accepting written comments on Clearinghouse Rule 24-011, relating to reading requirements for the educator preparation program approval process.

The proposed rule is a technical change to amend ch. PI 34 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code with respect to program approval and licensing requirements due to the passage of 2023 Wisconsin Act 20. The proposed rule conforms the rule to statutory requirements which provide that educator preparation programs shall address the acquisition of knowledge regarding evidence-based early reading instruction to be an approved preparation program and update the requirements for issuance of a license to align with statutory language.

The rules are being promulgated under s. 227.16 (2) (b), Stats., which provides there is no requirement that a public hearing be held for this rule because the proposed rule brings an existing rule into conformity with a statute that has been changed.

The proposed rule will not have an effect on small businesses, as defined under s. 227.114 (1), Stats.
