WI AB993

Each chapter of the Wisconsin Administrative Code expires 8 years after creation or readoption unless the agency promulgates a rule to readopt it through the standard rule-making process

Department of Administration must establish a schedule for expiration of all existing code chapters, with expiration dates between January 1, 2028 and January 1, 2036

Agencies readopting chapters must include economic impact analysis covering: the policy problem addressed, actual costs incurred by businesses and individuals, effectiveness of the rules, alternatives including repeal, and effects on private property

The $10 million cost threshold that triggers a halt to rule-making applies only to proposed changes when readopting chapters, not to ongoing costs of maintaining existing rules

Legislative Reference Bureau removes expired chapters from the Administrative Code and must prescribe the format for readoption rules
