1An Act to repeal 101.651 (2m), 101.651 (3), 101.651 (3m) (a) and 101.651 (6);
to
2renumber 101.651 (3m) (b); and
to amend 101.63 (3) and 101.651 (title) of the
3statutes;
relating to: enforcement of the one- and two-family dwelling code
4in certain cities, villages, and towns.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain limited exceptions, any city, village, town, or
county (municipality) may provide for the enforcement of the one- and two-family
dwelling code throughout the municipality. With certain exceptions, current law
requires any municipality that does not provide for this enforcement to contract with
the Department of Commerce (department) for necessary building inspection
services under the one- and two-family dwelling code. However, a city, village, or
town with a population of 2,500 or less may adopt a resolution generally exempting
the city, village, or town from any enforcement of the one- and two-family dwelling
code, including inspections by the department.
This bill repeals the authority for a city, village, or town with a population of
2,500 or less to exempt itself from enforcement of the one- and two-family dwelling
code. Thus, under this bill, such a city, village, or town is subject to the general
requirement to provide for the enforcement of the one- and two-family dwelling code
or contract with the department for necessary building inspection services.
For further information see the state and local 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:
