Written comments will be accepted until Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. and may be sent to Diane Brockley-Drinkman, Division of State Patrol, State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation- Truax, 3502 Kinsman Boulevard, Madison, WI 53704, or by email [e-mail]. Comments can also be made through the Legislature’s Administrative Rules website at http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/comment.

Accessibility: If you have special needs or circumstances regarding communication or accessibility at a hearing, please contact Kathey Bilek, Administrative Rulemaking Coordinator, [phone] or by email [e-mail] prior to the hearing date. Accommodations will be made available upon request, to the fullest extent possible.

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis: The proposed rule would require BAIIDs installed in Wisconsin to include features not currently required in this state, such as a camera and communications technology. Local service centers would be required to train their installers and service professionals on how to install and service these new features. The businesses would need to make modifications to their installation procedures to implement installation of devices with these new features. The department expects this would have a one-time effect on small businesses that act as service providers.
