ANALYSIS
Statutes interpreted:
Statutory authority:
Explanation of agency authority:
Pursuant to s. 101.31, 2013 Stats., the Department of Safety and Professional Services was required to award grants and promulgate rules relating to the construction career academy grant program. Section 101.31, 2013 Stats., was repealed, as affected by 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, effective July 14, 2015. Section 227.11 (2) (a), Stats., sets forth the parameters of an agency’s rule-making authority, stating an agency, “may promulgate rules interpreting provisions of any statute enforced or administered by the agency. . .but a rule is not valid if the rule exceeds the bounds of correct interpretation.” Related statute or rule:

Plain language analysis:
The proposed rule repeals chapter SPS 304, relating to the construction career academy grant program.
Section 101.31, 2013 Stats., required the Department to award grants and promulgate rules relating to the construction career academy grant program. This program was initially created by 2007 Wisconsin Act 20. 2015 Wisconsin Act 55 repealed s. 101.31, 2013 Stats., which eliminated the construction career academy grant program effective July 14, 2015. The repeal of s. 101.31, 2013 Stats., also eliminates the Department’s administrative requirements and authority relating to the construction career academy grant program. The Department has determined that chapter SPS 304 is an unauthorized rule and is repealing this chapter pursuant to s. 227.26 (4), Stats. Agency contact person:
