AB460,1,2
1An Act to create 100.20 (2) (c) of the statutes;
relating to: the provision of
2coin-operated soda water vending machines to retail food establishments.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law authorizes the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer
Protection (DATCP) to promulgate rules prohibiting methods of competition and
trade practices that it determines are unfair. Using this authority, DATCP has
promulgated a rule regulating the provision of equipment by soda wholesalers to
retailers.
This bill prohibits DATCP from regulating the provision of coin-operated
vending machines by soda wholesalers to certain retailers, such as grocery stores.
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:
