What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is required to specify by rule fees related to animal market licenses, animal dealer licenses, animal trucker licenses, and animal transport vehicle registrations. This bill removes DATCP’s authority to promulgate rules regarding the fees and statutorily establishes the fees in the same amounts as DATCP had established for the fees by rule, as published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register in December 2024.
