Wisconsin
Building Safety Network 
Speaking at the 2009 University of Wisconsin Building Code Refresher Conference, Commerce Secretary Richard Leinenkugel said, "Commerce has delegated more than 200 municipalities to perform plan review and inspection services for local builders and designers. These communities are part of our Wisconsin Building Safety Network. "This partnership increases our outreach to communities, and also benefits local builders, because municipalities can usually provide more immediate service to local projects." The Wisconsin Building Safety Network (WBSN) is a group of state and local officials working together since 1915 to promote safety and health in the built environment in Wisconsin. The WBSN was formed to help communities coordinate their community development, economic development, building regulation and fire department efforts. The hope is for cooperative and streamlined processes resulting in building projects completed faster, safer and at less cost. To learn more about the WBSN and an overview of statewide trends and issues, download a PDF of the presentation given at the 2009 University of Wisconsin Building Code Refresher Conference by Robert DuPont, Program Development Director, Safety and Buildings Division. 2008 WBSN annual meeting promoted state/local regulatory partnerships
