4. The statutory authority for the proposed rule.
PI 02: Under s. 227.11 (2) (a) (intro.), Stats., “Each agency may promulgate rules interpreting the provisions of any statute enforced or administered by the agency, if the agency considers it necessary to effectuate the purpose of the statute, but a rule is not valid if the rule exceeds the bounds of correct interpretation.” As such, a rule is required to effectively establish procedures for school district boundary appeals under s. 117.35, Stats. PI 09: Section 118.13 (3) (a) 2., Stats., requires the state superintendent to promulgate rules necessary to implement pupil nondiscrimination under s. 118.13, Stats. PI 14: Under s. 227.11 (2) (a) (intro.), Stats., “Each agency may promulgate rules interpreting the provisions of any statute enforced or administered by the agency, if the agency considers it necessary to effectuate the purpose of the statute, but a rule is not valid if the rule exceeds the bounds of correct interpretation.” As such, a rule is required to effectively establish minimum uniform provisions for contracts between two or more school districts under s. 66.0301, Stats. Additionally, the authority for promulgating s. PI 14.03 (minimum standards for audit and standard school district audit contract) found in s. 120.14 (4), Stats., which requires the Department to prescribe minimum standards for school district audits and a standard school district audit contract. 5. An estimate of the amount of time agency employees will spend developing the proposed rule and of other resources needed to develop the rule.
The amount of time needed for rule development by Department staff and the amount of other resources necessary are indeterminate.
6. A description of all of the entities that will be affected by the proposed rule.
No entities should be affected by this rule change since the change will only be done to align terminology of the PI rule chapters with current statutes and practice, eliminate redundant language, and eliminate the use of dates that have passed and will no longer apply.
7. A summary and preliminary comparison of any existing or proposed federal regulation that addresses or is intended to address the activities to be regulated by the proposed rule.

8. Anticipated economic impact of implementing the rule (note if the rule is likely to have a significant economic impact on small businesses).
The proposed rule will have no significant economic impact on small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1), Stats. Contact information
