What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection is responsible for regulating public swimming pools.

This bill prohibits DATCP from regulating pools located at short-term rentals.

Current law defines a “short-term rental” as “a residential dwelling that is offered

for rent for a fee and for fewer than 30 consecutive days.”

This bill is introduced as required by s. 227.26 (2) (f) and (j), stats., in support

of the action of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules in

suspending a portion of s. ATCP 76.02 (1) (a), Wis. Adm. Code, rules of the

Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection on April 26, 2022. The

suspended portion of the rule provides that a pool that serves a “tourist rooming

house” qualifies as a “public pool” and is therefore subject to DATCP regulation.
