AB161,1,3 1An Act to create 66.0404 (4e) of the statutes; relating to: authorizing a political
2subdivision to impose setback requirements for certain mobile service support
3structures.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Generally, under current law, a political subdivision may not impose a setback
requirement for a mobile service support structure. This bill grants a political
subdivision limited authority to impose a setback requirement on the placement of
such a structure. Under the bill, a requirement could apply only to a structure that
is constructed on land that is zoned for residential use. In addition, the setback
requirement must be based on the height of the proposed structure, and the
requirement may not exceed the height of the proposed structure.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
