The Honorable, the Senate:
hist62317I am vetoing Senate Bill 87 in its entirety and am returning it to the Senate because I object to the regulatory burden that the bill would place on individual homeowners and the cost it would impose on state and local government.
The bill would require the Department of Safety and Professional Services to promulgate rules that require an inspection of an addition to, remodeling of, improvement to or other alteration of a one- or two-dwelling that exceeds 20 percent of the dwelling’s assessed value. The bill would also allow local units of government to require an inspection of a dwelling when the remodeling, improvement or other alteration does not exceed 20 percent of the dwelling’s assessed value.
This legislation would add unnecessary regulatory burdens, costs and delays for homeowners who are trying to remodel or otherwise improve their homes. In addition, the bill would increase administrative costs for the Department of Safety and Professional Services, as well as for local units of government. I am committed to fostering private property rights and restoring the balance between private property owners and the government. I believe that this bill would contradict those efforts.
Respectfully submitted,
SCOTT WALKER
Governor

The Honorable, the Senate:
hist62318I am vetoing Senate Bill 360 in its entirety and returning it to the Senate. The bill contains numerous changes to a wide array of the Department of Transportation’s administrative rules. These changes are both technical and substantive in nature.
I object to the bill because it contains substantive policy changes to the Department of Transportation’s administrative rules while simultaneously lacking the economic impact analyses and consultations with businesses, associations representing businesses, local governments and individuals affected by the proposed changes required by s. 227.137, Wisconsin Statutes, and 2011 Executive Order 50. While I support the Right-The-Rules initiative, I believe the broad scope of the bill limits the Legislature’s and public’s ability to fully analyze these proposed changes. Therefore, I am vetoing the bill.
Respectfully submitted,
SCOTT WALKER
Governor
