Revises Chapter Comm 34, relating to amusement rides. Effective 1-1-09.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Chapter Comm 34 establishes minimum standards for the design, construction, operation, maintenance and assembly of amusement rides. The amusement ride code has not been subject to an overall review and update since 2003. The revisions primarily clarify existing rules. In some instances the proposed changes keep the rules consistent with each other and with other Commerce codes. The department utilized an advisory council, the Amusement Ride Council, to gather information on potential impacts, including economic, in complying with both the technical and administrative requirements of code changes. The code council did not identify or convey any impacts to the department.
