    ANALYSIS
    Statutes interpreted:
    Statutory authority:
    Explanation of agency authority:
    The Department of Safety and Professional Services (Department) is authorized by the legislature, pursuant to s. 227.11 (2) (a) , Stats., to promulgate rules interpreting the provisions of any statute it enforces or administers. Section 440 .62 . (3) ( ag ), Stats . , sets forth the requirements the Department must adhere to when issuing licenses to schools of barbering. Section 454.245 , Stats . , requires the Department to identify, by rule, the accrediting agencies i t approves to accredit schools.
    Related statute or rule:
    Wis consin Admin istrative Code Chapters Cos 1 to 11
    Plain language analysis:
    The proposed rule addresses changes prompted by the passage of recent legislation. 2011 Wis consin Act 190 severed the Barbe ring and Cosmetology Examining Board and transferred the regulation of the practice of barbering to the Department of Safety and Professional Services. Act 190 added several new definitions to s. 440.60 , Stats., which required updating s. SPS 60.02 . 2013 Wisconsin Act 205 reduced the number of hours of practical trai ning that an apprentice in barbe ring must acquire from 3,712 hours to 1, 712 hours. This change required amending the syllabus for apprentice training experience set forth in s. 50.310 table. Lastly, 2013 Wisconsin Act 356 created a provision requiring the Department to identify, by rule, the accrediting agencies it approves to accredit barbering schools. This proposed rule also updates the renewal date for barbering and cosmetology schools.
    Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation:
    None.
    Comparison with rules in adjacent states:
    Illinois: Licenses for barbers, barber teachers, and barber schools expire July 31 st of each odd numbered year. Ill. Admin. Code tit. 68 § 1175. 225 . No apprenticeship requir e ments or accredi t ation standards were found.
    Iowa: Licensed barb ering schools in Iowa must renew on an annual basis. Iowa Code § 158.7 Iowa accepts Barbering schools required course of study consists of 2,100 hours of instruction. Iowa Code § 158.8. A pprenticeship hours earned in other states may be applied towards the required 2,100 hours course of study. 645 Iowa Admin. Code r. 23.15.
    Michigan: Licenses for barbers, barber instructors, barbershops, and barber college s are renewed on a 2-year cycle expiring on September 30 th . A barber college’s license is automatically revoked if there is a transfer of ownership or change of location . Mich. Comp. Laws § 339.1110 .
