Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

The Department believes that the provisions in this proposed rule will benefit Wisconsin’s lodging industry and is expected to impose a minimal impact on additional costs. The Department expects stakeholders may favorably view consideration of rule provisions that allow industry more flexibility in meeting standards and more fairly allocate regulatory requirements.

This rule will not have a significant adverse effect on “small business” and is not subject to the delayed “small business” effective date provided in s. 227.22(2)(e), Stats.
