Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who operates a motor vehicle when his or her
operating privilege is revoked may be fined not more than $2,500, jailed for not more
than one year, or both. However, a person who operated a motor vehicle when his or
her operating privilege was revoked before May 1, 2002, and who had not been
convicted of a previous violation of operating a motor vehicle when his or her
operating privilege had been revoked within the previous 5 years, may be required
to forfeit not more than $600.
Under this bill, any person who operates a motor vehicle when his or her
operating privilege is revoked may be required to forfeit not more than $600 unless
the person has been previously convicted of operating a motor vehicle while his or her
operating privilege is revoked.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
