Who is in charge of the BEP operators?
BEP operators, as private business owners, are in charge of themselves. However, their membership in the Wisconsin BEP obligates BEP operators to adhere to the program’s rules and regulations, as well as the laws specific to the program. BEP operators also observe all other laws and regulations that apply to any Wisconsin business, such as collecting for and paying sales tax to the State of Wisconsin. Compliance is monitored by the State of Wisconsin, through its contract for management services, and through an elected committee of their peers. The Wisconsin BEP also offers licensed operators support services through the BEP specialists. These staff may advise BEP operators, but ultimately, the operators make their own business decisions.
