AB676,1,2 An Act to create 254.47 (2r) of the statutes; relating to: special event campground permits issued by the department of health and family services.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the department of health and family services (DHFS), or a local health department acting as an agent of DHFS, issues permits to and regulates campgrounds and camping resorts and recreational and educational camps.

Under this bill, a campground permit for a special event issued by DHFS, or by a local health department, is not valid if a necessary town or county permit for the special event is not obtained or if a condition of a necessary town or county permit is not met. Under the bill, "special event" is defined by DHFS by rule.

For further information see the state and local 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:

AB676, s. 1 Section 1. 254.47 (2r) of the statutes is created to read:

AB676,2,5 254.47 (2r) A campground permit issued by the department, or by a local health department granted agent status under s. 254.69 (2), under this section for a special event, as defined by the department by rule, to be held on town territory is not valid if a necessary town or county permit for the special event is not obtained or if a condition of a necessary town or county permit is not met. A permit issued under this paragraph shall indicate that the validity of the permit is conditioned on obtaining and meeting the conditions of any necessary town or county permit for the special event.
