S&B - Publications

Safety and Buildings Division monthly division-wide news reports


  2005 Wisconsin Act  201, the “Right to Cure Law,” (see act as PDF file) says that consumers at the time of contracting for construction or remodeling work must be provided with a brochure describing requirements for making any future claims of construction defects. The law was effective Oct. 1, 2006. 

The brochure is not a substitute for the text of the law or legal counsel.  Safety and Buildings Division staff do not provide interpretations of the brochure or the law.  

Brochure as PDF file, version 4, revised 09/13/06 (correction to "Notice Concerning Construction Defects").
