SB54,1,2 An Act to amend 86.195 (3) (b) 2. of the statutes; relating to: specific information signs.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law authorizes the erection of highway signs indicating the location of nearby businesses that provide services of interest to the travelling public, including gas, food, lodging and camping. 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:
