relating to:
2
creating a landlord fire prevention grant program, granting rule-making

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Administration to establish a program to award grants to landlords to assist with the costs of implementing fire prevention and suppression measures in residential buildings. Measures a grant could be awarded for include installing fire sprinklers in a building and providing fire extinguishers in residential units. The bill directs DOA to establish the application procedures for, and terms and conditions of, receiving a grant, with grants awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Under the bill, a grant may not exceed 50 percent of the landlord’s costs for the fire prevention and suppression measures, and the total amount of grants that may be awarded under the program is $10,000,000.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
