10	10	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
11	11	This bill is explained in the NOTES provided by the Joint Legislative Council in
12	12	the bill.
13	13	The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
14	14	enact as follows:
15	15	JOINT LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PREFATORY NOTE: This draft was prepared for the Joint
16	16	Legislative Council's Study Committee on Occupational Licenses.
17	17	Under current law, a two-year renewal period applies to many health and business
18	18	credentials administered by the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS)
19	19	or a credentialing board. The renewal date is specified by statute, and is designated as
20	20	the date on which a credential expires and before which it must be renewed for the
21	21	credential holder to maintain the rights, privileges, and authority conferred by the
22	22	credential. The statute does not specify what it means to “be renewed,” particularly
23	23	whether a credential holder's submission of a complete renewal application satisfies the
24	24	renewal requirement or whether, instead, DSPS is required to have issued a
25	25	determination on a renewal application.
26	26	The bill revises the language regarding the effect of the renewal date to specify that
27	27	the renewal date is the date on which a credential expires and before which a credential
28	28	holder must submit a complete renewal application in order to maintain without
29	29	interruption the rights, privileges, and authority conferred by the credential.
30	30	The bill specifies that a renewal application is considered complete for purposes of
31	31	satisfying the renewal requirement only when the credential holder has submitted the

36	36	required fee and all forms and other documentation required for the renewal of that
37	37	credential. A credential holder who has submitted a complete renewal application is also
38	38	considered to have made timely and sufficient application for the renewal under a
39	39	separate provision in state law that delays expiration until the opportunity for review of
40	40	a denial expires or is otherwise resolved.
41	41	SECTION 1. 440.01 (1) (dm) of the statutes is amended to read:
42	42	440.01 (1) (dm) “Renewal date" means the date, specified in s. 440.08 (2), on
43	43	which a credential expires and before which it must be renewed for the credential
44	44	holder must submit a complete renewal application under s. 440.08 (2m) (a) in order
45	45	to maintain without interruption the rights, privileges and authority conferred by
46	46	the credential.
47	47	SECTION 2. 440.08 (2m) of the statutes is created to read:
48	48	440.08 (2m) RENEWAL GENERALLY. (a) A renewal application shall be considered
49	49	complete only when the credential holder has submitted the fee required under sub.
