Rule Submittal Date
On November 16, 1999, the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services submitted to the Wisconsin Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse a proposed rule affecting ch. HFS 175, relating to recreational and educational camps.
Analysis
Statutory authority:
Sections 227.11 (2) (a), 250.04 (7) and 254.47 (4), Stats.
Reason for rules, intended effects, requirements:
This is an updating and general revision of the Department's rules for operation of recreational and educational camps. The rules have not been generally revised since late 1985.
Chapter HFS 175 is one of 7 chapters of the Department's rules under which permits are issued by the Department or agent local health departments to facilities that provide overnight lodging or serve meals to the general public, or are swimming pools except swimming pools serving fewer than 3 residences. A permit is a condition of operation and evidence that when the permit was issued the facility complied with the Department's rules.
At the end of 1998 there were 246 camps in Wisconsin, 191 regulated by the Department under these rules and 55 by local health departments serving as the Department's agents, also under these rules.
The rulemaking order makes a number of changes in ch. HFS 175 mainly based on the recommendations of a workgroup consisting of camp operators, local public health department staff and staff of the Department's Environmental Health Section. One major change is modification of the definition of “camp" to delete the rule limitation that the overnight living quarters provide 4 or more consecutive nights of lodging. The effect of this change is to permit a camp to operate the year around and to permit some camps to avoid having to obtain restaurant and hotel permits in addition to a camp permit.
