An Eastern Wisconsin Senator is looking to clarify the language on the books regarding criminal trespassing on a campsite.
Senator Andre Jacque has introduced a bill that would clarify that Wisconsin campground guests are not tenants and are therefore not subject to the state landlord-tenant laws.
He cited a situation where two employee-guests at a campground in the state had been terminated, but refused to leave.
Sen. Jacque tells SeehaferNews.com, “Local law enforcement would not intervene, wrongly maintaining that the former employees were tenants, despite language in the camping agreement clearly stating that guests are not tenants.”
He equated the rule to hotel guests, saying, “When campers cause a breach of the peace by refusing to leave, it is not a civil matter and requires law enforcement intervention.”
The bill is co-sponsored by Representative Alex A. Dallman of Green Lake.
