Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

The bill prohibits a commission or board, including a credentialing board, that has not taken any action with respect to the promulgation of a rule in ten years or more from taking any such action in the future unless a subsequent law specifically authorizes it to do so.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
