Governor vetoes bill requiring inspections for large home remodeling projects

April 26, 2016 By Andrew Beckett

Wisconsin homeowners will not need government inspections for larger remodeling projects.

Governor Scott Walker vetoed a bill Monday that would have required them for remodeling work that costs more than 20 percent of the total value of a single family house or duplex. In his veto message, Walker said the requirement would put too much of a regulatory burden on individual homeowners — and it would have cost state and local governments too much.

Sen. Roger Roth (R-Appleton), who was a sponsor of the bill, expressed disappointment in the veto decision and called it a mistake. “Year after year, issues with home renovations are at the top of DATCP consumer complaints,” he said in a statement.

The governor also vetoed a bill that would have made changes to the rule making process for the Department of Transportation — including how the agency evaluates major road projects. Walker said the bill did not make clear what the economic impacts would be on those affected.
