What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a state agency is required to promulgate as an administrative rule any standard, statement of policy, or order of general application that has the effect of law and is issued to implement, interpret, or make specific legislation enforced or administered by the agency or to govern the organization or procedure of the agency. There are numerous exceptions to this requirement, including policies that establish water quality objectives for priority watersheds, relate to the construction or maintenance of highways or bridges, relate to the curriculum of, admission to, or graduation from a public educational institution, list over-the-counter drugs covered by Medical Assistance, and that concern the internal management of an agency.
This bill prohibits a state agency from promulgating any administrative rule that increases costs or regulatory burdens on any persons affected by the rule or that does not reduce the regulatory burden on those persons.

The prohibition does not apply to a rule that is promulgated to avoid a court-ordered sanction or a sanction by the federal government, to prevent an imminent threat to public health or safety, or to fulfill an obligation expressly stated in the Wisconsin Constitution. This prohibition also does not apply to a regulatory board, such as the Medical Examining Board, if the monetary benefits to the persons subject to the proposed rule substantially outweigh the costs to those persons and the proposed rule is necessary to allow the board to administer existing law.
The bill does not apply to rules that become effective two years after the effective date of the bill.
