Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair trade
practices. With certain exceptions, current law authorizes the Department of
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) to promulgate rules that
either prohibit or require specific methods of competition or trade practices.
This bill requires DATCP to promulgate rules prescribing fair methods of
competition in the construction of new residential or noncommercial property.
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
