SB127,1,2
1An Act to amend 86.196 (2) (i) of the statutes;
relating to: tourist-oriented
2directional signs.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law authorizes the erection of highway signs providing identification
of and directional information for tourist-related businesses, services or activities.
The signs may be erected within the rights-of-way of certain highways outside of
urban areas. To qualify for display on such a sign, a business offering food, in
addition to meeting other requirements, must be in regular operation at least 5 days
a week, opening for business no later than 10 a.m. and remaining open until at least
7 p.m.
Under this bill, a supper club may be displayed on such signs even if the supper
club is not open for business from at least 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. All other eligibility
requirements continue to apply to supper clubs.
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:
