TECHNICIANS
2011 Wisconsin Act 146 Section 34 repealed
Wis. Stat. §
101.177 effective May 4, 2012. Accordingly,
the Department of Safety and Professional Services no longer has the

become void after May 4.

refrigerants are still
regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for the
transport or
salvage of refrigeration or air-conditioning equipment and the
Wisconsin
Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection for those who
service
vehicle air conditioners and refrigerated transport vehicles. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also

Administrative Codes Names and Numbers Changed
Administrative Codes formerly under the Department of Regulation and
Licensing (RL) and the Department of Commerce (Comm) now all use the
SPS designation for the Department of Safety and Professional Services.
For the former RL codes, the prefix changed, but the numbers will
remain the same. For example, RL 2 became SPS 2. For the former Comm
codes, the prefix changed and the numbers were increased by 300. For
example, Comm 5 became SPS 305. Comm 2 became SPS 302. Please
note that there are many documents attached to this WebSite and on
printed materials which have the old code numbers. These code numbers
are being updated, but completion will take some time.
