Assumptions Used in Arriving at Fiscal Estimate:
The proposed rule updates Chapter
TAX 11 of the Administrative Code, pertaining to the sales and use tax, to reflect certain sales tax changes contained in
2013 Wisconsin Act 20, the 2013-15 Budget Bill.
The proposed rule modifies the administrative code to reflect law changes and clarify the tax treatment of certain items.
The proposed rule includes:
•A sales and use tax exemption for certain property sold by a contractor as part of a lump sum contract.
• Repeal of the sales tax imposition on receipts from self-service laundry machines that are operated by tokens and magnetic cards.
• A sales and use tax exemption for services resulting in advertising and promotional direct mail.
• A sales and use tax exemption for certain products used by commercial printers.
• Updates and clarifications to reflect changes to sales and use tax statutes.
• Dissolution of the Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan and Authority.
The fiscal effect of the exemptions created under
2013 Wisconsin Act 20 has already been reflected under general fund condition statements subsequent to
2013 Wisconsin Act 20. Since the fiscal impact of the statutory changes has already been reflected, the proposed rule has no fiscal effect.

Analysis Prepared by the Department of Safety and Professional Services
Statutes interpreted
Statutory authority
Explanation of agency authority
The board shall promulgate rules for its own guidance and for the guidance of the profession and define and enforce professional conduct and unethical practices not inconsistent with the law relating to the profession.
Specifically, the board may also establish rules to prevent unauthorized persons from practicing professional nursing. It shall approve all rules for the administration of ch.
441, Wis. Stats.
Related statute or rule
Plain language analysis
This proposed rule updates the licensure process.
Section 1 repeals and recreates ch.
N 2. The first subsection is licensure by examination. The qualifications for professional nurse licensure are graduating from a high school or equivalent, does not have an arrest or conviction record related to the practice of nursing, graduated from a school of nursing and passes the NCLEX exam. The qualifications for practical nurse licensure are 2 years of high school, does not have an arrest or conviction record related to the practice of nursing, graduated from a school of nursing and passes the NCLEX exam. The application procedure is submitting an application, paying the fee, submitting proof of graduation, passing the NCLEX, and submitting all relevant information relating to criminal charges, convictions of crimes or any acts which would constitute unprofessional conduct. If the nurse is a graduate from a U.S. territory or outside the United States, the education credentials need to be evaluated by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools.
The second subsection is licensure by endorsement. An applicant holding a current license from a compact state shall submit a completed application, pay the fee, declare Wisconsin as the primary state, and submit all relevant information relating to criminal charges, convictions of crimes, any acts which would constitute unprofessional conduct or discipline taken by another state. An applicant holding a current license from another U.S. state, territory or Canada shall submit evidence of initial licensure including graduation from an approved nursing school and passage of the NCLEX or evidence of educational qualifications and licensure examination. In addition, a applicant shall submit a completed application, pay the fee, verification from the state of initial licensure and current licensure, documentation of employment history, and submitting all relevant information relating to criminal charges, convictions of crimes, any acts which would constitute unprofessional conduct or discipline taken by another state. An applicant who does not have current nursing education or been employed in a position that requires a nursing license may apply for a limited license to complete a nurse refresher course.
The third subsection is temporary permits. A nurse who has graduated from an approved or comparable school may apply for a temporary permit upon submission of a completed application, payment of fee and verification of graduation from a nursing school. A graduate nurse may use the title of G.N. for graduate nurse or G.P.N. for graduate practical nurse. The holder of a temporary permit may only work under direct supervision unless the person holds a nursing license in another state. The temporary permit is valid for a period of three months or the receipt of results indicating failing the NCLEX. A temporary permit may be renewed once and may be renewed subsequently on the basis of hardship. A temporary permit may be denied or revoked for providing false information on the application, misrepresentation of title without a valid permit or for unprofessional conduct.
Section 2 repeals and recreates chapter N 3. The examining councils serve the Board in an advisory capacity. The section states the appointment process and composition of the two nursing examining councils.
Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation
None
Comparison with rules in adjacent states
Illinois: In Illinois an applicant is eligible for nurse licensure by examination if the applicant completes an application, pays the fee, submits to a criminal background check and graduates from an approved school.

Iowa: In Iowa an applicant is eligible for nurse licensure by examination if the applicant graduated from high school or the equivalent, completes an application, pays the fee, graduated from an approved program and passes NCLEX. If the person has a criminal conviction history or prior disciplinary action, the applicant must receive Board approval. If educated outside of the United States, the education is to be evaluated by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools. A nurse from a compact state shall submit a completed application, pay the fee, declare Iowa as the primary state. A nurse is eligible for licensure by endorsement from a non-compact state if the applicant completes an application, pays a fee, has verification of original licensure and nursing program transcripts and submits a criminal background check. If educated outside of the United States, the education is to be evaluated by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools. If the person has a criminal conviction history or prior disciplinary action, the applicant must receive Board approval.

If the applicant has not engaged in acceptable nursing practice within the 2 years of application, the applicant must complete one contact hour of continuing education for each month that the applicant was not engaged in acceptable practice for a maximum of 60 hours and if the person has not practiced for more than 5 years, the applicant must compete a nurse refresher course. Minnesota does issue privilege to practice nursing in Minnesota licenses to border state applicants upon meeting certain requirements.
Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies
The Board reviewed the National Council of State Board of Nursing's model rules and the licensing requirements in our neighboring states.
Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis
The rule was posted for economic comments for a period of 14 days and none were received. This rule is related to an individual's eligibility for licensure and does not effect small business.
