AB119,1,4
1An Act to amend 341.14 (6r) (fm) 7.; and
to create 341.14 (6r) (f) 62. of the
2statutes;
relating to: special distinguishing registration plates expressing
3support for the family members of law enforcement officers who have died in
4the line of duty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, any group or organization may apply to the Department of
Transportation for designation as an authorized special group. If the application is
approved, members of the authorized special group may obtain special
distinguishing registration plates for certain vehicles, including automobiles and
motor homes, that are owned or leased by special group members. A fee, in addition
to the regular registration fee for the particular kind of vehicle, is charged for the
issuance or reissuance of most special plates.
Before October 2, 1998, authorized special groups whose members may obtain
special plates were specifically enumerated in state law. With certain exceptions,
current law provides that specific enumeration in state law of authorized special
groups is limited to those special groups enumerated before October 2, 1998.
This bill establishes an authorized special group specifically enumerated in
state law for persons interested in expressing their support for the family members
of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. In addition to other
applicable registration fees, special group members are required to pay a $15 fee for
issuance or reissuance of these special plates.
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:
