1An Act to renumber 343.17 (2);
to amend 343.50 (3); and
to create 343.17 (2)
2(b) of the statutes;
relating to: the information contained on operator's licenses
3and identification cards.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) issues operator's
licenses and identification cards. This bill requires each operator's license and
identification card to include a hologram (a pattern produced on a photosensitive
medium), and a magnetic strip that is machine-readable and on which is encoded
the person's name, identifying driver number and other information determined by
DOT.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
