the law instructing the DOJ to perform background checks and process permits doesn't take effect until 11/1. They don't have the authority to process them before that.
You (and Paul) are simply wrong.
SECTION 100 Nonstatutory provisions.
(1) Using the procedure under section 227.24 of the statutes, the department of justice shall promulgate rules required under section 165.25 (12) of the statutes, as
created by this act, for the period before the effective date of the permanent rules promulgated under those sections, but not to exceed the period authorized under section 227.24 (1) (c) and (2) of the statutes. Notwithstanding section 227.24 (1) (a), (2) (b), and (3) of the statutes, the department is not required to provide evidence that promulgating a rule under this subsection as an emergency rule is necessary for the preservation of public peace, health, safety, or welfare and is not required to provide a finding of an emergency for a rule promulgated underthis subsection.
(2)
Notwithstanding section 175.60 (9) (b) of the statutes, as created by this act,
beginning on the effective date of this subsection and ending on the first day of the 5th month beginning after the effective date of this subsection, the department of justice shall, as soon as practicable and without delay, but no longer than 45 days, after receiving a complete application under section 175.60 (7) of the statutes, as created by this act, for a license to carry a concealed weapon, do one of the following:
(a) Issue the license and promptly send the licensee his or her license document by 1st class mail.
(b) Deny the application, but only if section 175.60 (3) (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (g) of the statutes, as created by this act, applies to the applicant. If the department denies the application, the department shall inform the applicant in writing, stating the reason and factual basis for the denial.
SECTION 101 Effective dates. This act takes effect on the first day of the 4th month beginning after publication,
except as follows:
(1) The treatment of sections 66.0409 (6), 165.25 (12), 175.49 (4), 175.60 (2m) and (5), and 947.01 (2) of the statutes and
SECTION 100 (1) and (2) of this act take effect on the day after publication.
(2c) The treatment of section 20.455 (2) (gs) of the statutes and SECTION 100h of this act take effect on July 1, 2011.
It should be noted that Wis. Stat. 175.60(7) states the application must be IN the form described in Wis. Stat. 175.60(5a) not ON the form designed by DoJ. There is no reason that a person could not submit the required information, documentation and fee next Monday to DoJ. They would need to issue or deny by September 8th. If they didn't or returned the application, the applicant could request a writ of mandamus from the appropriate court.
