BILL NUMBER:S1943 TITLE OF BILL: An act requiring the state fire prevention and building code council to implement rules and regulations regarding the maple industry PURPOSE: To include maple production facilities and "sugar shacks" within the definition of agricultural buildings and to make them acces- sible to the public.
