Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) collects a regular
biennial registration fee for a motorcycle or moped of $23. DOT also administers a
Type 1 motorcycle, moped, and motor bicycle safety program.
This bill reduces the regular biennial registration fee for a motorcycle or moped
from $23 to $13. The person paying the regular registration fee is required, however,
to pay an additional fee of $10 at the time of registration of the motorcycle or moped.
All moneys collected from this additional fee are required to be used to fund the Type
1 motorcycle, moped, and motor bicycle safety program. Finally, the bill requires
DOT to adjust this additional fee annually for inflation.
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:
