AB570,1,3
1An Act to repeal 106.04 (2r) (g) 3. of the statutes;
relating to: exempting
2multilevel multifamily housing without elevators from the multifamily
3housing accessibility law.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, housing that is ready for occupancy after September 30,
1993, consisting of 3 or more dwelling units (covered multifamily housing) is
required to be accessible to persons with disabilities. Current law requires the
department of commerce to promulgate rules establishing minimum accessibility
requirements for multilevel covered multifamily housing without elevators
(townhouses). This bill eliminates townhouses from the coverage of the accessibility
laws.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
