***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to amend 227.139 (4) (b); and to create 227.139 (4) (am) of the statutes;
relating to: creating an exemption to certain requirements for rules
promulgated by the Department of Natural Resources relating to groundwater
protection standards for PFAS.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires an agency to suspend working on a permanent rule if it
determines that the proposed rule may result in more than $10,000,000 in
implementation and compliance costs over any two-year period. This bill creates an
exemption from this requirement for any proposed Department of Natural Resources
rule that relates to establishing groundwater protection standards for perfluoroalkyl
or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 227.139 (4) (am) of the statutes is created to read:
227.139 (4) (am) This section does not apply to a proposed rule of the
department of natural resources relating to establishment of groundwater
