Relating to: creating a deicer applicators certification program and making an appropriation. (FE)

This Wisconsin bill establishes a voluntary registration program for commercial deicer applicators, requiring them to complete approved training and pass an exam to protect water quality. Registered individuals must keep detailed records of their work for at least three years and submit annual reports to the state department listing the types and amounts of deicers used. The legislation also defines specific conditions under which registered applicators and property owners are not liable for damages caused by snow or ice hazards, provided they followed approved methods. Although the bill was passed by the legislature, it was vetoed by the Governor and did not become law.
