1999 - 2000 LEGISLATURE
February 8, 2000 - Introduced by Representative Brandemuehl, cosponsored by
Senators Breske and Schultz. Referred to Committee on Transportation.
AB728,1,2
1An Act relating to: tourist-oriented directional signs for Wisconsin Badger
2Camp, Inc., in Grant County.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) erects
tourist-oriented directional signs to assist motorists traveling along highways.
Tourist-oriented directional signs provide identification of and directional
information for tourist-related businesses, services or activities, which derive the
majority of their income or visitors during the normal business season from motorists
not residing in the immediate area where the business, service or activity is located.
This bill requires DOT, upon receiving an application and applicable fees, to
erect two tourist-oriented directional signs along USH 18 in Grant County, for
Wisconsin Badger Camp, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that provides educational and
recreational opportunities in a summer-camp setting for individuals with
developmental disabilities.
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:
