Related statute or rule:
None.
Plain language analysis:
Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter Chir 3 currently includes a requirement for CPR certification every two years. Every renewal period, licensees are required to also file evidence with the Department that they are certified in CPR or have been granted a waiver from the Chiropractic Examining Board. The CPR requirement is not required by Wisconsin statutes; however, it has been considered beneficial to the practice of Chiropractic for many years as a licensure requirement. The Board conducted an evaluation of ch. Chir 3 and has determined to remove the requirements relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation:
None.
Comparison with rules in adjacent states:
Illinois: Illinois does not require a certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a requirement for licensure and renewal of Illinois chiropractic licenses.
Iowa: Iowa does not require a certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a requirement for licensure and renewal of Iowa chiropractic licenses.
Michigan: Michigan does not require a certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a requirement for licensure and renewal of Michigan chiropractic licenses.
Minnesota: Minnesota does not require a certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a requirement for licensure and renewal of Minnesota chiropractic licenses.
Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies:
The proposed rules were developed by reviewing the provisions of ch. Chir 3 to ensure the rules are consistent with current professional and academic practices and applicable Wisconsin statutes. No additional factual data or analytical methodologies were used to develop the proposed rules.
Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis:
The proposed rules were posted for a period of 14 days to solicit public comment on economic impact, including how the proposed rules may affect businesses, local government units, and individuals. No comments were received.
