INITIAL REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS
The proposed rule is anticipated to have little to no effect on small businesses, as defined under s. 227.114. Based on information gathered from peer providers during meetings of the advisory committee organizations conducting this work are not-for-profit or have more than 25 employees and would not meet the definition of a small business as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration or in s.227.114 (1), Stats. It is therefore anticipated that the proposed rules will have minimal impact on small businesses.
