MADISON – The
Wisconsin Builders Association honored two legislators Thursday
for demonstrating leadership in advancing the needs of and
interests of homeowners, home builders and remodelers around the
state.
State Sen. Paul Farrow, R-Pewaukee, and state Rep. John Jagler,
R-Watertown, were named the “WBA Legislators of the Year.”
The legislators were the lead authors of 2013 Wisconsin Act 23
which requires the Department of Safety and Professional
Services to review the one- and two-family building code every
three years and to work with the Uniform Dwelling Code Council
on an extensive review of the one- and two-family code every six
years, according to the announcement.
“Senator Farrow and Representative Jagler worked hard to craft a
bipartisan bill to continue Wisconsin’s long history of
constructing safe, affordable and energy efficient homes,” said
Brad Boycks, WBA vice-president of advocacy, in a statement.
“The new timeframe for review of the one and two family code
will streamline the code review process resulting in more
affordable housing for Wisconsin families.”
The Wisconsin Builders Association is a professional trade
organization that advances the housing industry for members and
consumers through government involvement, education and
promotion.
