AB451,1,3
1An Act to repeal 101.147 and 101.19 (1) (m);
to amend 101.02 (20) (a) and
2101.02 (21) (a) of the statutes; and
to affect 2009 Wisconsin Act 28, section
9110
3(17r);
relating to: registration of construction contractors.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under
2009 Wisconsin Act 28 (Act 28), beginning on January 1, 2010, most
persons who hold themselves out or act as a construction contractor must be
registered by the Department of Commerce (Commerce). Act 28 authorizes
Commerce to directly assess a forfeiture by issuing an order against any person who
fails to register as required under that act. The registration requirement does not
apply to a person who engages in construction on his or her own property, to a state
agency or local governmental unit, or to a person who engages in construction in the
course of his or her employment by a state agency or local governmental unit.
This bill eliminates the provisions of Act 28 that require that construction
contractors be registered by Commerce.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
