Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits a city, village, town, or county (political subdivision) from
enacting an ordinance or adopting a resolution to impose or collect a fee for the
purchase or installation of a fixture in a building or structure if the fixture replaces
an existing fixture or is added to an existing building or structure. If a political
subdivision has such an ordinance or resolution that is in effect on the effective date
of the bill, the ordinance or resolution does not apply and may not be enforced.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
