The bill establishes separate standards for the regulation of recreational and educational camps in Wisconsin and modifies existing standards for electrical wiring and plumbing in relation to these camps.

  • 101.053

    101.053 Recreational and educational camps. (1) In this section, “recreational and educational camp” means a premises, including temporary and permanent structures, that is operated as an overnight living quarters where both food and lodging or facilities for food and lodging are provided for children or adults or both children and adults for a planned program of recreation or education, and that is offered free of charge or for payment of a fee by a person or by the state or a local unit of government. “Recreational and educational camp" does not include any of the following: (a) An overnight planned program of recreation or education for adults or families at an establishment holding a current retail food establishment license issued under s. 97.30 or lodging license issued under s. 97.605. (b) An overnight planned program of recreation or education for less than 4 consecutive nights and without permanent facilities for food and lodging. (c) An overnight planned program for credit at an accredited academic institution of higher education. (d) A tournament, competition, visitation, recruitment, campus conference, or professional sports team training camp. (2) The department shall promulgate rules revising the commercial building code to establish separate standards for the construction and inspection of recreational and educational camps. The standards established in the rules shall take into account the uses, including seasonal use, that are unique to recreational and educational camps.

    This creates a new section defining recreational and educational camps and requires rule-making for their construction and inspection standards.

  • 101.82 (1)

    The standards established in the rules shall also take into account the uses, including seasonal use, that are unique to recreational and educational camps, as defined in s. 101.053 (1). → The standards established in the rules shall also take into account the uses, including seasonal use, that are unique to recreational and educational camps.

    This change removes the previous reference to the definition location and reinforces the consideration of unique uses in electrical wiring standards.

  • 145.02 (2) (b)

    The standards established in the rules shall also take into account the uses, including seasonal use, that are unique to recreational and educational camps, as defined in s. 101.53 (1). → The standards established in the rules shall also take into account the uses, including seasonal use, that are unique to recreational and educational camps.

    This change simplifies the wording by removing the definition reference while ensuring plumbing standards consider unique uses in the same manner.
