The effective date of administrative rules promulgated by state agencies (suggested as remedial legislation by the Legislative Reference Bureau)

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

2013 Wisconsin Act 20 provides that, effective January 1, 2015, administrative rules promulgated by state agencies (rules) generally become effective on the first day of the month commencing after the date on which a Wisconsin Administrative Register (register) is published by the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB). In addition, Act 20 requires the LRB to publish in the weekly register copies of all rules filed with the LRB since the compilation of the previous register and to publish in each end-of-month register updated chapters of the Wisconsin Administrative Code (code) that have been affected by rules filed with the LRB.

This bill clarifies that a rule becomes effective on the first day of the month commencing after the date on which the LRB publishes in the end-of-month register the updated chapters of the code that have been affected by the rule.
