AB864,1,2
1An Act to create 101.14 (1) (am) of the statutes;
relating to: requirements for
2automatic fire suppression systems and exhaust hoods in mobile kitchens.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires the Department of Commerce (commerce) to make
reasonable orders for the repair or removal of any building or structure that is
especially liable to fire and which is so situated as to endanger other buildings or
property. It also requires Commerce to make reasonable orders for the repair or
removal of any explosive material or inflammable conditions that are dangerous to
the safety of any building or its occupants. This bill provides that the rules may not
require the owner or operator of a mobile kitchen to install or maintain an automatic
fire suppression system or an exhaust hood in, or as part of, the mobile kitchen if the
mobile kitchen is less than 365 square feet in size and is used on fewer than 12 days
a year for the purpose of cooking.
