CR_13-055 Amends Chapters MTBT 1 to 5 and creates Chapters 6 and 7, relating to temporary licensure and continuing education.  

  • The Department's main concern is to increase navigational safety and expand safe fishing and boating opportunities. The rule was written to ensure commercial fishers' economic needs were included. In addition, based on one comment received during the economic impact comment period and two public hearing comments received, the rule may benefit charter fishing businesses in the Restricted Use Area of Lake Superior.
    Minimal impact is expected for businesses or business associations. No additional reporting requirements will be imposed on small businesses as a result of these rule changes.
