Administrative Rulemaking Process
Review administrative rulemaking process for DSPS below.
Administrative Rulemaking Process
Administrative rules concerning the professions, establishments, and activities regulated by state professional boards and the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services are routinely reviewed and updated. Rule updates must go through a process involving many distinct and important steps, including approval by both the Governor's Office and Legislature.
Active Rulemaking Projects
The Pending Rules page provides the status of all active rulemaking projects involving DSPS. Questions concerning a project may be submitted to DSPSAdminRules@wisconsin.gov.
Comment on Rulemaking Projects
A rulemaking project on the Pending Rules page with a current status of "EIA Comment Period" or "Public Hearing Scheduled" is open for public comment for the period specified in the applicable published document (Notice of Economic Impact Comment Period or Notice of Public Hearing).
During an EIA comment period, public comment is limited to information and advice concerning economic impact from businesses, business sectors, associations representing businesses, local governmental units, and individuals that may be affected by proposed rules. Other comments concerning proposed rules may be submitted later in the rulemaking process, at the time a public hearing on proposed rules is scheduled.
The Economic Impact Comments page provides a list of rules on which economic impact comments are being solicited. The Public Hearing Information page provides links to public hearing notices on the Wisconsin Legislature's website.
