1999 - 2000 LEGISLATURE
July 6, 1999 - Introduced by Senators Moen, Huelsman and Darling, cosponsored
by Representatives Musser, Walker, Brandemuehl, Plouff, Wasserman,
Stone, Sykora, Klusman, Gronemus and Underheim. Referred to Committee
on Judiciary and Consumer Affairs.
SB205,1,2
1An Act to amend 98.12 of the statutes;
relating to: the sale of ice cream and
2similar products.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law generally requires ice cream and similar frozen desserts that are
packaged before sale to be sold by liquid measure and packaged only in containers
with capacities of one-half liquid pint, one liquid pint, one liquid quart or a multiple
of one liquid quart. This requirement does not apply if products are packaged at the
time of sale at retail or sold in quantities of less than one-half liquid pint.
This bill eliminates the limitations on the size of containers in which ice cream
and similar products may be packaged but retains the requirement that they be sold
by liquid measure, subject to the current exception.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
