1An Act to amend 346.88 (3) (d) of the statutes;
relating to: traffic speed

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law imposes certain restrictions on a motorist having any object within
or upon a vehicle that obstructs the motorist's clear view through the front
windshield or rear window of the vehicle. These restrictions do not apply to lamps
on authorized emergency vehicles that are used solely to activate traffic control
signal preemption devices.
This bill provides that these restrictions on objects within or upon vehicles do
not apply to traffic speed monitoring devices or video equipment used by police
vehicles.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB956, s. 1
