1An Act to repeal 100.45 (4) (f) of the statutes;
relating to: repair of motor
2vehicle air conditioners and truck trailer refrigeration equipment that contains
3ozone-depleting refrigerant.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law includes several provisions that relate to the use and release of
substances that have been shown to deplete the atmosphere's ozone layer. These
include a provision prohibiting a person from performing a repair that releases or
may release ozone-depleting refrigerant from an air conditioner in a motor vehicle
or from refrigeration equipment in a truck trailer unless the person satisfies several
requirements. One requirement is that the person inspects the air conditioner or
refrigeration equipment and repairs any leaks before adding ozone-depleting
refrigerant to the air conditioner or refrigeration equipment.
This bill eliminates the requirement to inspect a motor vehicle air conditioner
or truck trailer refrigeration equipment and repair any leaks before adding
ozone-depleting refrigerant to the air conditioner or refrigeration equipment.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
