CR 24-020 Notice of Rulemaking without Public Hearing

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Notice of Public Comment Period for CR 24-020

Changes to PI 40 as a result of 2021 Wisconsin Act 217

Notice is hereby given that the Department of Public Instruction is accepting written comments on CR 24-020, relating to changes to PI 40 as a result of 2021 Wisconsin Act 217.

The proposed rule is a technical change to conform ch. PI 40 with the changes to statute as a result of 2021 Wisconsin Act 217. 2021 Wisconsin Act 217 added references to independent charter school governing boards throughout the ECCP statute, thus permitting students enrolled in independent charter schools to participate in ECCP in the same manner that private and public-school students may participate. As a result, the department proposes a technical change to ch. PI 40 to align it with changes in statute and incorporate references to independent charter school governing boards throughout the rule.

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.
