Scope Statements
Chiropractic Examining Board
Subject
Creates administrative rules pursuant to 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 and implemented under Chapter 446 of the Wisconsin Statutes, relating to Chiropractic Radiological Technicians and Chiropractic Technicians.
Objective of the Rule
2009 Wisconsin Act 28 has created new statutory provisions in chapter 446 of the Wisconsin Statutes. These new statutory provisions include the establishment of Chiropractic Radiological Technicians and Chiropractic Technicians to be licensed and regulated by the Chiropractic Examining Board. The new statutory provisions also include additions or amendments relating to:
  Continuing education;
  Examination(s);
  Examination fee to applicants for licensure that are associated with the cost of developing and administering an exam;
  Delegation of services to non-licensed persons as well as Chiropractic Radiological Technicians and Chiropractic Technicians;
  Evaluation standards and discontinuance of chiropractic practice regarding patients;
  Waiver of an insured patient's copayments, coinsurance or deductibles;
  Disciplinary action against a license or certificate holders;
  Unprofessional conduct standards by licensees and certificate holders; and
  Penalties associated with disciplinary action against a license or certificate holder.
The new statutory provisions will require the Chiropractic Examining Board to amend or create administrative rules in a host of areas such as its initial licensure registration and renewal requirements, continuing education, examinations, definitions, scope of practice, practice standards, and code of conduct. The promulgation of administrative rules pursuant to chapter 446 of the Wisconsin Statutes is necessary to implement the additional standards regarding the practice of Chiropractic that have been created by 2009 Wisconsin Act 28.

Controlled Substances Board
Subject
Creates Chapter CSB 3 pursuant to section 961.335 (8), (9) of the Wisconsin Statutes relating to the granting of special use authorizations (SUA) including, but not limited to, requirements for keeping and disclosure of records, submissions of protocols, filing of applications, and suspension or revocation of permits.
Objective of the Rule
The rules will further clarify what is required when applying for a special use authorization, record keeping and disclosure requirements and the criteria for suspension or revocation of such authorization.
Policy Analysis
SUA holders frequently exceed the quantities of controlled substances permitted by their SUA or use controlled substances for which they do not have an SUA. They do not file amendments when they are deviating from what the special use authorization allows. The person to whom the special use authorization is issued leaves the organization and the organization continues to operate under the SUA even though they have no authority to do so. Currently, the Board has no authority to take action when an SUA holder acts contrary to the terms of the SUA. The rules will help the Controlled Substances Board more clearly delineate what is required when applying for an SUA, what ongoing responsibilities an SUA holder may have to keep and disclose records, what responsibilities an SUA holder has to amend an SUA, and what actions or lack of action on the part of an SUA holder will result in suspension or revocation of the SUA.
Statutory Authority
Section 961.335 (8) of the Wisconsin Statutes.
Comparison with Federal Regulations

Entities Affected by the Rule
The Controlled Substances Board may issue a permit authorizing a person to manufacture, obtain, possess, use, administer or dispense a controlled substance for the purposes of scientific research, instructional activities, chemical analysis or other special uses. Individuals may be authorized to receive the authorization on behalf of a college or university department, research unit or similar administrative organizational unit and students, laboratory technicians, research specialists or chemical analysts under his or her supervision. All such individuals and entities will be affected by these rules.
