Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, only an automatic fire sprinkler contractor or journeyman
automatic fire sprinkler fitter licensed or registered by the department of commerce
(department) may install an automatic fire sprinkler system (sprinkler system). The
sprinkler system includes underground and overhead piping and a suitable water
supply. Under current law, a master plumber or utility contractor licensed by the
department may not install any portion of a sprinkler system.
This bill expands current law by authorizing a master plumber or utility
contractor licensed by the department to install the underground piping for a
sprinkler system.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
