What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to create a deicer

applicators certification program and establish criteria for training individual

commercial applicators in methods for snow and ice removal and deicer application

that protect water quality. Under the bill, DNR must certify commercial applicators

who have completed approved training and passed an exam.

The bill provides that a commercial applicator certified by DNR and the owner

of real estate that contracts with a certified commercial applicator are not liable for

damages arising from a hazard resulting from the accumulation of snow and ice on

any real estate maintained by the certified commercial applicator when the hazard

is caused solely by snow or ice and the certified commercial applicator used methods

for snow and ice removal and deicer application that are taught in training approved

by the department.
