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.
