1An Act to amend 227.137 (3) (c) of the statutes;
relating to: inclusion in the
2economic impact analysis for a proposed rule an assessment of the impact that
3the proposed rule will have on public health and the environment.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, before a state agency may submit a proposed administrative
rule to the Legislative Council Staff for review, the agency must prepare an economic
impact analysis for the proposed rule. The economic impact analysis must contain,
among other things, an analysis of the actual and quantifiable benefits of the
proposed rule, including an assessment of how effective the proposed rule will be in
addressing the policy problem that the rule is intended to address. This bill, in
addition, requires an economic impact analysis to include an assessment of the
impact that the proposed rule will have on public health and the environment.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
