2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE
ASSEMBLY SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1,
TO 2009 ASSEMBLY BILL 348
October 2, 2009 - Offered by Representative Parisi.
AB348-ASA1,1,3
1An Act to create 346.01 (1m) and 349.03 (5) of the statutes;
relating to:
2agreements to enforce traffic regulations on private roads located in
3manufactured and mobile home communities.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain exceptions, rules of the road apply exclusively
upon highways. Current law defines "highway" to mean all public ways and
thoroughfares and bridges on the same. "Highway" includes roads or driveways in
publicly owned parks and in state forests that are open to the public for vehicular
travel and roads or driveways that are on the grounds of public schools and
institutions under the jurisdiction of the county. A private road or driveway is not
included within the definition of a highway.
Under this substitute amendment, the owner of a private road or driveway
within a manufactured and mobile home community may enter into an agreement
with a city, village, town, or county to treat the private road or driveway as a highway
for the purposes of traffic regulation enforcement. The agreement may limit the
traffic regulations to be enforced on the private road or driveway under the
agreement.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
