In LIRC 4, regarding procedural rules for filing petitions for commission review of equal rights administrative law judge decisions, the revised rule will delete the provisions relating to judicial review that restate statutory provisions regarding appealing commission decisions to circuit court and are therefore redundant.
The commission also seeks to simplify its rules by combining them into a single chapter.
3. Description of the existing policies relevant to the rule, new policies proposed to be included in the rule, and an analysis of policy alternatives:
The proposed rule does not alter or establish any policies.
4. Detailed explanation of statutory authority for the rule (including the statutory citation and language):
Wisconsin Stat. § 103.04(2) authorizes the commission to promulgate rules of procedure. 5. Estimate of amount of time that state employees will spend developing the rule and of other resources necessary to develop the rule:
State employees will spend approximately 25 hours developing the rule. No other resources are necessary to develop the rule.
6. List with description of all entities that may be affected by the proposed rule:
The proposed rule will affect all parties with cases being reviewed by the commission, including individuals with worker's compensation, unemployment insurance, fair employment, public accommodations, or worker classification compliance claims, employers, worker's compensation insurance carriers, and the department.
7. Summary and preliminary comparison with any existing or proposed federal regulation that is intended to address the activities to be regulated by the proposed rule:
There are no existing or proposed federal regulations that address the procedures 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 rules will have no economic impact.
