What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill prohibits the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection from promulgating a rule that prohibits landlords from charging residential tenants a fee for nonpayment or late payment of rent during an emergency declared by the governor. Current law authorizes DATCP to promulgate rules prohibiting unfair trade practices and unfair methods of competition.

The bill is introduced as required by s. 227.26 (2) (j), stats., in support of the action of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules in suspending DATCP emergency rule 2002. The suspended emergency rule prohibited landlords from charging residential tenants a fee or penalty for nonpayment or late payment of rent during an emergency declared by the governor and during the 90 days immediately following the expiration of the emergency.
