EmR0827 Create section RL 91.01 (3) (k), relating to training and proficiency in the use of automated external defibrillators for certification as a massage therapist or bodyworker.

  • Hearing Date:   June 28, 2011
    3.   EmR1111 — Rule to repeal and recreate sections NR 10.01 (1) (b) , (g) and (u) and 10.32 and to amend section NR 10.01 (1) (v) , relating to hunting and the 2011 migratory game bird seasons and waterfowl hunting zones.
    Finding of Emergency
    The emergency rule procedure, pursuant to s. 227.24 , Stats., is necessary and justified in establishing rules to protect the public welfare. The federal government and state legislature have delegated to the appropriate agencies rule-making authority to control the hunting of migratory birds. The State of Wisconsin must comply with federal regulations in the establishment of migratory bird hunting seasons and conditions. Federal regulations are not made available to this state until late July of each year. This order is designed to bring the state hunting regulations into conformity with the federal regulations. Normal rule-making procedures will not allow the establishment of these changes by September 1. Failure to modify our rules will result in the failure to provide hunting opportunity and continuation of rules which conflict with federal regulations.

    4.   EmR1116 — Rule to amend section NR 25.05 (1) (c) , relating to commercial fishing in outlying waters.
    This emergency rule was approved by the governor on October 19, 2011.
    The statement of scope for this rule, SS 023-11 , was approved by the governor on September 15, 2011, published in Register No. 669 , on September 30, 2011, and approved by The Natural Resources Board on October 26, 2011.
    Finding of Emergency
    The Department of Natural Resources finds that an emergency exists and the rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety or welfare. A statement of facts constituting the emergency is:
    The current commercial season for whitefish from Lake Michigan and Green Bay closes one week before the season closure for state-licensed fishers in the State of Michigan. This limitation on fishing opportunities threatens the welfare of state-licensed commercial fishers in Wisconsin and makes these Wisconsin businesses less competitive with counterparts in Michigan. The additional business revenue, approximately $161,300, and improved competitiveness of the commercial fishing industry, rises to the standard of preservation and improvement of the public welfare required for emergency rule making.
    The number of commercial fishers has been declining over the last 20 years from 145 to 57. While some of this decline has been due to consolidation, some of the reduction is due to adverse economics of the industry. This rule requires emergency action to enhance public welfare as it applies to the economic health of the commercial fishing industry, which requested this rule change.

    The scope statement for this rule, SS 018-11 , was approved by the governor on August 16, 2011, published in Register No. 669 on September 14, 2011, and approved by the Secretary of Revenue on September 26, 2011.
    Finding of Emergency
    The Department of Revenue finds that an emergency exists and that the rule order is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety or welfare. A statement of the facts constituting the emergency is:
    The emergency rule is to administer the provisions of ss. 125.28 (5) (e) and 125.29 (3) , Stats., as created by 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 , and reflect revisions made by the Act to the authorized activities of persons holding wholesalers' and brewers' permits.
    It is necessary to promulgate this rule order so that the above provisions may be administered in a fair and consistent manner.
    This rule is therefore promulgated as an emergency rule and shall take effect upon publication in the official state newspaper. Certified copies of this rule have been filed with the Legislative Reference Bureau, as provided in s. 227.24 , Stats.
