What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under

2009 Wisconsin Act 28

(Act 28), beginning on January 1, 2010, most

persons who hold themselves out or act as a construction contractor must be

registered by the Department of Commerce (Commerce). Act 28 authorizes

Commerce to directly assess a forfeiture by issuing an order against any person who

fails to register as required under that act. The registration requirement does not

apply to a person who engages in construction on his or her own property, to a state

agency or local governmental unit, or to a person who engages in construction in the

course of his or her employment by a state agency or local governmental unit.

This bill eliminates the provisions of Act 28 that require that construction

contractors be registered by Commerce.
