Motor Carriers
(Energy, Labor & Economic Growth Public Service Commission)

Withdrawn 12/18/2007 The "Motor Carriers" rules establish policies and procedures for the regulation of motor carriers in Michigan. Public Law 109-59, known as the "Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users" or "SAFETEA-LU" was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Bush on August 10, 2005. This federal law preempts various statutory provisions and administrative rules in Michigan. Subtitle C of the SAFETEA-LU repeals the existing Single State Registration System and establishes a new Unified Carrier Registration System. Other provisions of Subtitle C also have a dramatic effect on the Commission's ability to collect registration and credential fees from both intrastate and interstate regulated carriers pursuant to the Michigan Motor Carrier Act, 1933 PA 254 (Act 254), as amended, MCL 475.1 et seq., and its motor carrier regulations, R 460.18101 - R 460.19301. So, the Commission is required to amend the "Motor Carriers" rules to comport with federal law.

Special Education Programs and Services
(Education Superintendent of Public Instruction)

Rules 340.1701 and 340.1701a add a reference to Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 2004 (IDEA). The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is responsible for both Part B and Part C of the IDEA. This change will ensure that all parties are aware of the obligations under Part C and reflects current practice of MDE investigating Part C complaints.Rules 340.1701a, 340.1701b, 340.1701c, 340.1713, 340.1721e, 340.1722a, 340.1722e, and 340.1723c, 340.1724d, and 340.1724f are proposed for revision to comply with the IDEA and the implementing federal regulations which became effective on October 13, 2006.Rule 340.1721e(4) is proposed to align section 1278b(11) of 1976 PA 451, MCL 380.1278b(11), with the IDEA transition requirements.Rule 340.1724's title is proposed for revision to reflect the IDEA language of "due process complaint." The additions to this rule are a result of combining Rules 340.1724a, 340.1724c, and 340.1724g into one rule that governs any due process hearings filed before July 1, 2006. There are several pending hearings that must be conducted under the previous due process system. When the last hearing under this system is completed, Rule 340.1724 will be rescinded. The proposed changes to Rule 340.1724h are technical to comply with the Manual of Style and Procedures.Rule 340.1724i was amended to clarify that this rule applies only to due process complaints filed on or after July 1, 2006.Rules 340.1701a and 340.1725e add terminology to be consistent with existing administrative rules.Rules 340.1724a, 340.1724c, 340.1724e Rule 340.1724g are proposed for rescission. These rules are no longer necessary. The provisions are now delineated in Rule 340.1724 and in the IDEA.Rules 340.1738 and 340.1748. Programs for students with severe cognitive impairment and severe multiple impairment have been required to offer a 230-day school year. Section 300.106(3) of the federal regulations states that, "� a public agency may not limit extended school year services to particular categories of disability; or unilaterally limit the type, amount, or duration of the services." Thus, these provisions are proposed for removal. Extended school year services may be considered for each student with a disability, regardless of disability category. Rules 340.1771 and 340.1772 update the qualifications for director and supervisor of special education. These rules have not been substantially updated since 1987.Rule 340.1790 is proposed for revision to bring the rule in line with current practice.Rule 340.1793a, Interpreters for the deaf. To ensure that students who are deaf or hearing impaired have access to the general curriculum and meet the Michigan Merit Curriculum, it is imperative that interpreters have the skills needed to provide high- quality interpreting. The proposed rule raises the standards for educational interpreters.Rule 340.1810. The term "handicapped" is being replaced with the appropriate term, "disability." This is a technical amendment.Rules 340.1832 and 340.1861. New language is proposed to ensure that all public agencies follow the confidentiality provisions in the IDEA. The state has always required public agencies to follow the regulations in IDEA, but this language makes it more explicit and transparent. Rules 340.1832 and 340.1837 are proposed for change to bring these rules in line with current practice pertaining to the Intermediate School District Plans for Special Education.

Racing Commissioner - General Rules
(Agriculture Racing Commissioner)

R 431.1255 addresses the criteria an individual must meet in order to be qualified to serve as a steward. The proposed rule is intended to broaden the commission's authority to select the most qualified individuals to serve as stewards. Specifically, the current rule states that "an applicant shall have been employed as any of the following at a recognized meet or meetings for a period of not less than 60 racing days a year, during not less than 3 of the 5 preceding calendar years: (a) Steward; (b) Assistant or associate steward; (c) Racing secretary; (d) Assistant racing secretary; (e) Starter; (f) Placing judge; (g) Patrol judge; (h) Paddock judge; (i) Clerk of scales. However, if no acceptable applicant possesses these qualifications, a person approved or appointed shall have had prior experience in horse racing, such as an owner, trainer, jockey, or driver, or such other related experience as the commissioner deems pertinent." The proposed rule would broaden the criteria to include individuals who bring more diverse knowledge, skills and background than is currently allowed.R 431.1301 Medications and Drugs, (5) addresses the specific use of Lasix or its generic name, furosemide. The current rule in Michigan states that a licensed veterinarian needs to witness the horse bleeding through its nose before the horse is placed on a medications' list and can only be removed from that list if a veterinarian deems it acceptable to so. The rule change would allow a decision between the horse's trainer and veterinarian to put the horse on furosemide because it is in the best interest of the horse. The horse will remain on furosemide for a set time period and if taken off, must stay off for a determined amount of time. As well, the rule will only call the medication by its generic name.R 431.3090 (3) defines a "maiden horse" as one that is 5 years of age or older. The currrent rule states that a maiden horse 5 years of age or older shall not be entered or start unless it has less than 6 lifetime starts. The proposed rule would raise the age to be considered a maiden horse from 5 to 7 years.R 431.4205 (1)(2)(3)(4) identifies a committee that meets to determine whether a horserace track could be closed due to inclement weather, addresses the conditions for the withdrawals of entries, and gives the stewards the authority to cancel or postpone races under certain circumstances, without a penalty.
