This bill died with 2023-2024 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Assembly Bill 204 introduces a new requirement for professional land surveyors to complete 20 hours of continuing education every two years before renewing their license. This change is intended to ensure that surveyors stay updated with current practices and regulations, which can improve the quality of their work. The amendment also includes provisions to exempt new licensees and allow waivers in cases of extreme hardship. This matters because it emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development in ensuring public safety and maintaining high standards in the field.

of the statutes;
relating to:

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill is explained in the NOTES provided by the Joint Legislative Council in the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
JOINTL EGISLATIVC OUNCIL PREFATORY NOTEThis draft was prepared for the Joint Legislative Council's Study Committee on Occupational Licenses.
Under current law, a two-year renewal period applies to many health and business credentials administered by the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) or a credentialing board.
The renewal date for each two-year period is specified by statute.
As part of a credential holder's renewal, some professions specify continuing education requirements by statute, while some professions may establish continuing education requirements by rule.
The bill revises each two-year renewal period in the health and business professions to four-year renewal periods.
Where specified in the statutes, the bill doubles the corresponding credential's continuing education requirement.
LRB-0450/1 - 2024 Legislature - 3 - MED:wlj ASSEMBLY BILL 204 The bill specifies that DSPS may, in cooperation with the credentialing boards, phase in the new four-year renewal periods in a manner that allows one two-year renewal to occur after the law takes effect.
DSPS may also stagger the renewal dates among credential holders so that approximately half of renewals within a profession occur every two years.
The bill specifies that if the four-year renewal period is in place before revised renewal fees are approved by the Joint Committee on Finance, DSPS may double the two-year renewal fee.
The bill also specifies the converse, that if a two-year renewal applies to an individual after a four-year renewal fee has been established, the individual is required to pay only one-half of the four-year renewal fee.
If DSPS implements measures to phase in four-year renewal periods or to stagger renewal dates within a profession, the bill requires DSPS to do so by administrative rule.
The bill also grants emergency rulemaking authority to DSPS and the credentialing boards to implement the provisions of the bill without making a finding of emergency, and allows an emergency rule to remain in effect until May 1, 2025, or the date on which the permanent rule takes effect, whichever is sooner.
Lastly, the bill specifies that its provisions take effect on the first day of the third month following enactment.
