FLOOR SUMMARY
House Bill 4732 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Representative Greg MacMaster
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Single State Construction Code Act to do the following:
-- Exempt a qualifying roadside stand from plumbing fixture requirements.
-- Specify that a qualifying roadside stand would not be required to have electric power but, if it did, it would be subject to the Electrical Code.
-- Exempt from the Act and the State Construction Code a tent complying with part of the definition of "qualifying roadside stand".
"Qualifying roadside stand" would mean a roadside stand that meets all of the following requirements:
-- It is used only for seasonal retail trade in agricultural products.
-- At least 50% of the agricultural products offered for sale at the roadside stand are produced on a farm owned or controlled by the person who owns the stand.
-- It is not larger than 400 square feet.
-- It is securely anchored to the ground.
A tent meeting the first three requirements above also would be exempt from the Act and the State Construction Code.
