SB90,1,3 1An Act to renumber and amend 342.30 (1g); and to create 342.30 (1g) (b) of
2the statutes; relating to: removal and replacement of a vehicle or vehicle part
3identification number.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no person may remove, alter, obliterate, or intentionally
make it impossible to read a vehicle or vehicle part identification number. A person
who violates this prohibition may be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for
not more than six years, or both.
This bill creates an exception to this prohibition for persons who remove and
replace a decal that contains a vehicle or vehicle part identification number when
repairing a vehicle or vehicle part if the removal and replacement is reasonably
necessary for the repair.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
