What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

With certain exceptions, current law requires the Department of Commerce

(department) to establish reasonable standards or rules for the construction, repair,

and maintenance of places of employment and public buildings so as to render them

safe. Pursuant to this requirement, the department has promulgated rules

establishing such standards. This bill prohibits a city, village, or town from enacting

or enforcing an ordinance that establishes minimum standards for the construction,

repair, and maintenance of places of employment and public buildings unless that

ordinance strictly conforms to the rules promulgated by the department.
