CR_13-060 Repeals and recreates section DE 9.01, amends section DE 9.02 (intro.), (1), (2), and (4), and creates section DE 9.015, relating to lab work authorizations.  

  • Sections 15.405 (3) and 480.08 (6) , Stats.
    Explanation of agency authority
    Pursuant to s. 15.405 (3) , Stats., the Department of Safety and Professional Services has oversight of the Auctioneer Board as an attached board of the Department. In accordance with s. 480.04 (2) , Stats., the Auctioneer Board does not have rule-making authority. However, under s. 480.04 (1) , Stats., the Auctioneer Board may advise the Department on matters relating to auctioneers. Per s. 480.08 (6) , Stats., states that the department may promulgate rules, on behalf of the Auctioneer Board, governing the requirements and procedures for auctioneers obtaining continuing education. The topic of these proposed rules is the requirements concerning instructors administering continuing education courses. Therefore, the Department is authorized both generally and specifically to promulgate these proposed rules.
    Related statute or rule
    Section SPS 128.04 .
    Plain language analysis
    Currently, per Wis. Admin. Code s. SPS 128.04 (6) , course instructors offering continuing education for auctioneers in Wisconsin must be either an auctioneer registered in this state, actively practicing auctioneering for the past five years; or an attorney that practices in the area of auctioneering, or an appraiser approved by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB). The Auctioneer Board reviewed s. SPS 128.04 (6) and determined that the rule limited the number of eligible course instructors by excluding instructors from other disciplines that may be knowledgeable about auctioneering. By promulgating these proposed rules, the Department and the Auctioneer Board seek to enlarge the pool of eligible instructors to those who are experts in their field, have the required years of experience, and have a course approved by the Department.
    Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation
    None.
    Comparison with rules in adjacent states
    Illinois: In Illinois auctioneers are regulated by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Professional Regulation. Continuing education courses must be approved by the Division. Illinois further requires that continuing education must be, "developed and presented by persons with education and/or experience in subject matter of the CE course". 68 Ill. Adm. Code 1440.310 (b) (8) (c).
    Iowa: Iowa does not regulate continuing education requirements for auctioneers.
    Michigan: Michigan does not regulate continuing education requirements for auctioneers.
    Minnesota: Minnesota does not regulate the continuing education requirements for auctioneers.
    Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies
    The Auctioneer Board reviewed Wis. Admin. Code s. SPS 128.04 and determined a revision to the rule was necessary because the rule limited the type of course instructors that may conduct continuing education in Wisconsin. The pool of eligible instructors is currently restricted to auctioneers registered in Wisconsin, attorneys who are engaged in the field of auctioneering law, and an appraisers approved by the AQB. The Board sought to enlarge the pool of course instructors by drafting this proposed rule. No other factual data or analytical methodologies were used.

    13. Benefits of Implementing the Rule and Alternative(s) to Implementing the Rule
    The proposed rule would benefit auctioneers and the public by allowing experts in their respective fields to teach auctioneers about various topics related to auctioneering. By receiving this training, auctioneers will augment their skills and be better prepared to conduct auctions.
    14. Long Range Implications of Implementing the Rule
    Broadening the knowledge base of Wisconsin auctioneers in various fields related to auctioneering.
    15. Compare With Approaches Being Used by Federal Government

    Analysis Prepared by the Department of Safety and Professional Services
    Statutes interpreted
    Section 447.03 (3) (f) 1. , Stats.
    Statutory authority
    Explanation of agency authority
    Section 15.08 (5) (b) , Stats., requires that examining boards shall promulgate rules for their own guidance and for the guidance of the professions over which they have jurisdiction, which reads:
    Section 227.11 (2) , Stats., permits an agency to promulgate rules interpreting the provisions of any statute enforced or administered by the agency, which reads:
    Section 447.03 (3) (f) 1. , Stats., provides exceptions to licensees regarding practices, such as lab work authorizations, which reads:
    " (3) Exceptions. No license or certificate under this chapter is required for any of the following: (f) A dental laboratory or dental laboratory technician to construct appliances or restorations for dentists if all of the following apply: 1. The appliances or restorations are constructed upon receipt from a dentist of impressions or measurements, directions, and a written work authorization on a form approved by the examining board."
    Related statute or rule
    There are no other related statutes or rules beyond those indicated above.
    Plain language analysis
    The objective of the proposed rule is to eliminate the requirement that a written authorization for dental laboratory work shall be on a form approved by the board. The proposed rule will also allow for the continued use of current technologies, such as the request may be made electronically and work orders detailed digitally.
    SECTIONS 1. and 2. These sections are proposed to separate the subjects of authority and definitions from the current section, s. DE 9.01 whereby creating two renumbered sections, ss. DE 9.01 and 9.015. The definitions for both dental laboratory and work authorization now clearly remove any reference to a written request or the use of a board-approved form.
    SECTION 3. This section deals primarily with the changes to no longer requiring written lab work authorizations, in so far as amending s. DE 9.02 (intro.) , (1) , (2) , and (4) to remove references to out-dated methods of work order requests.
    Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation
    No rules or laws were found in an Internet-based search of the U.S. Code or the Code of Federal Register (CFR) for dental lab work authorizations, written or electronic, made by dentists.
    Comparison with rules in adjacent states
    An Internet-based searched resulted in the following findings:
    Illinois: The Illinois statutes and codes were researched via the Internet and no specifications were found for dental work authorizations, either written or electronic. [PART 1220 ILLINOIS DENTAL PRACTICE ACT]
    Iowa: In searching Iowa codes, ch. 153 , Dentistry, no specifications were found for dental work authorizations, either written or electronic. [ http://www.state.ia.us/dentalboard/board/rules-policy/docs/IowaCode153_2013.pdf ]
    Michigan: Board of Dentistry 2012-111 LR , No specifications were found for dental work authorizations, either written or electronic.
    Minnesota: Minnesota board of dentistry rules for dentists, hygienists, and assistants are contained in ch. 3100 [ https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/?id=3100 ]. No specifications were found for dental work authorizations, either written or electronic.
    Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies
    The Board, in reviewing their rules in response to Executive Order 61, recognized these out-dated methods for making lab work order requests and authorizations. These methods are costly and time consuming to small business.
    The proposed provisions are expected to make such requests more efficient, more accurate and less costly for small business.
    Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis
    The Dentistry Examining Board in reviewing their rules in response to Executive Order 61 found that the industry has replaced an outdated process with technological advances.
    Fiscal Estimate and Economic Impact Analysis

    Analysis Prepared by the Department of Safety and Professional Services
    Statutes interpreted
    Section 447.02 (2) (b) , Stats.
    Statutory authority
    Sections 15.08 (5) (b) and 447.02 (2) (b) , Stats.
    Explanation of agency authority
    Section 15.08 (5) (b) , Stats. The examining board shall promulgate rules for the guidance of the profession to which it pertains and define and enforce professional conduct and unethical practices not inconsistent with the law relating to the particular trade or profession.
    Section 447.02 (2) (b) , Stats. The examining board shall promulgate rules specifying the " standards, conditions and any educational requirements that are in addition to the requirements specified in s. 447.04 (1) , Stats., that must be met by a dentist to be permitted to induce general anesthesia or conscious sedation in connection with the practice of dentistry."
    Related statute or rule
    Section 447.01 (8) (d) , Stats.
    Plain language analysis
    The intent of the rule is to allow the Dentistry Examining Board discretion in approving sedation permits for licensees who have received discipline action against their permit(s) or are currently under investigation regarding their permit(s). Therefore, the granting of permits shall be permissive. In addition, the definitions of classes of sedation permits are added as no such reference occurs in the rule or the rule series, chs. DE 1 to 13 .
    SECTION 1 provides a definition of sedation permit classes which correspond to the permit application process.
    SECTIONS 2 to 4 modify the current text making the approval of permits permissive and update the permit classes as now defined in s. DE 11.02 (9m) .
    Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation
    No existing or proposed rules or laws were found in an Internet-based search of the U.S. Code or the Code of Federal Register (CFR) regarding classes of sedation, sedation permits for licensed dentists or how discipline may affect dentists applying for or maintaining such permits.
    Comparison with rules in adjacent states
    Illinois: The State of Illinois has an application process for dental sedation permits, which includes conscious sedation - Permit A and deep sedation and general anesthesia — Permit B. A permit application includes a request for information on fines, reprimands, probations, censures, revocations, suspensions, license surrenders, restrictions or limitations, but does not specifically list a prohibition of permit approval as a consequence of any discipline. [Title 68, subch. VIIb, sec. 1220.510]
    Iowa: Iowa rules, IAC 650—Chapter 29 , much like Illinois, have permits for sedation and their application forms request the following information: " have your clinical activities ever been limited, suspended, revoked, not renewed, voluntarily relinquished, or subject to other disciplinary or probationary conditions?" In order to obtain a permit for deep sedation/general anesthesia, a dentist must hold current certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) 650 IAC 29.3(4) — procedures by a dentist with a permit for deep sedation/general anesthesia can only be done with the assistance of at least two auxiliary personnel that have current basic life support certification [IAC 29.3(5)]. In this search, no rule or law was found to specifically prohibit applying for or maintaining such a permit while a licensee has been disciplined.
    Michigan: In a search of ch. 33 Michigan health code, no provisions for application for sedation classes or permits were found.
    Minnesota: In Minnesota, dentists must obtain a certificate from the Board to administer general anesthesia or conscious sedation per Ch. 3100.3600 Subp 9. Requirements for both general anesthesia and conscious sedation stipulate for the dentist to have current ACLS certification (Subp 2, 3).
    Dentists, dental hygienists and registered dental assistants may administer nitrous oxide inhalation analgesia with current CPR certification (Subp 4D). The required continuing education includes both advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS). There is no mention of the ability to apply for or termination of such certification based on discipline or a licensee.
    Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies
    No factual data and analytical methodologies were used to draft these rules.
    Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis
    The information comparing the states listed in this analysis was obtained directly from an Internet-based search and a review of the applicable regulations and rules, when found.
    Fiscal Estimate and Economic Impact Analysis
    The Fiscal Estimate and Economic Impact Analysis is attached.
    Effect on Small Business
    These proposed rules do not have an economic impact on small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1) , Stats. The Department's Regulatory Review Coordinator may be contacted by email at Greg.Gasper@wisconsin.gov , or by calling (608) 266-8608.
