An Eastern Wisconsin Senator’s bill aimed at supporting public safety in campgrounds is now one signature away from becoming law.
Senate Bill 235, authored by Senator Andre Jacque, recently passed in the Assembly and is now headed to Governor Tony Evers’ desk.
The New Franken legislator tells SeehaferNews.com, “This bill ensures that when serious issues arise—such as harassment, threats to guests, or refusal to vacate—owners can rely on local law enforcement for help, just as they could at a hotel or tavern.”
The legislation specifically offers clarity and was introduced after multiple cases in which law enforcement declined to assist in removing individuals from campgrounds, mistakenly treating the situations as civil landlord-tenant disputes.
Jacque explained, “The goal is to avoid conflict and provide clear guidance so everyone—owners, guests, and law enforcement—understands their roles.”
