Veterans Affairs
On March 10, 2006 the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs submitted a proposed rule to the Wisconsin Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse amending ss.
VA 16.01 (3),
16.02 (1),
(1) (a),
(b), and
(c), and
(3) and creating s.
VA 16.02 (4), of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. The proposed rule relates to the county transportation services grant program.
Analysis
The creation of the proposed rules will require counties that have an ongoing veterans transportation grant program and who do not intend to expand the program by more than 50% to provide date for a prior 12-month period. The change will provide more accuracy to the computation process and ease the administration of the grant program.
There is no current or pending federal regulation that addresses this initiative. There are no similar rules in adjacent states. This rule has no regulatory aspect to it, has no effect upon small businesses, nor any significant impact upon the private sector.
Agency Procedure for Promulgation
A public hearing is required and will be held on April 21, 2006. The Office of the Secretary is primarily responsible for preparing the rule.
