Please check the Bulletin of Proceedings - Administrative Rules
for further information on a particular rule.
Elections Board
Rule Submittal Date
On October 3, 2003, the State Elections Board submitted a proposed rule to the Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse.
Analysis
The rules prescribe the standards for filing officers to determine whether nomination papers comply with the requirements of ch.
8, Stats., and provide guidance to candidates and other circulators to enable them to so comply. The old rule, requiring that the circulator reside in the district in which a nomination paper or petition was being circulated, was no longer consistent with the decision of Judge Barbara Crabb in
Frami et al. v. Ponto et al., United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Case No. 02-C-515-C. Pursuant to that decision, the Elections Board is enjoined from enforcing a residency requirement with respect to the circulators of nomination papers.
Agency Procedure for Promulgation
The Elections Board is following the 30-day notice procedure, under s.
227.16 (2) (e), Stats., for the promulgation of these rules.
Contact
The agency person responsible for internally processing these rules is George A. Dunst, legal counsel for the State Elections Board.
Workforce Development
Rule Submittal Date
On October 13, 2003, the Department of Workforce Development submitted a proposed rule to the Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse.
Analysis

DWD 59, relating to the child care local pass-through program.
Agency Procedure for Promulgation
A public hearing is required and will be held on November 12, 2003. The organizational unit responsible for the promulgation of the proposed rules is the DWD Division of Workforce Solutions.
