SB338, s. 23 Section 23. 343.305 (10) (d) of the statutes, as affected by 1997 Wisconsin Act 84, is amended to read:

SB338,20,15 343.305 (10) (d) The assessment report shall order compliance with a driver safety plan. The report shall inform the person of the fee provisions under s. 46.03 (18) (f). The driver safety plan may include a component that makes the person aware of the effect of his or her offense on a victim and a victim's family. The driver safety plan may include treatment for the person's misuse, abuse, or dependence on alcohol, controlled substances or controlled substance analogs, an intoxicant or attendance at a school under s. 345.60, or both. If the plan requires inpatient treatment, the treatment shall not exceed 30 days. A driver safety plan under this paragraph shall include a termination date consistent with the plan which shall not extend beyond one year. The county department under s. 51.42 shall assure notification of the department of transportation and the person of the person's compliance or noncompliance with assessment and treatment. The school under s. 345.60 shall notify the department, the county department under s. 51.42, and the person of the person's compliance or noncompliance with the requirements of the school. Nonpayment of the assessment fee or, if the person has the ability to pay, nonpayment of the driver safety plan fee is noncompliance with the court order. If the department is notified of noncompliance, other than for nonpayment of the assessment fee or driver safety plan fee, it shall revoke the person's operating privilege until the county department under s. 51.42 or the school under s. 345.60 notifies the department that the person is in compliance with assessment or the driver safety plan. If the department is notified that a person has not paid the assessment fee, or that a person with the ability to pay has not paid the driver safety plan fee, the department shall suspend the person's operating privilege for a period of 2 years or until it receives notice that the person has paid the fee, whichever occurs first. The department shall notify the person of the suspension or revocation, the reason for the suspension or revocation, and the person's right to a review. A person may request a review of a revocation based upon failure to comply with a driver safety plan within 10 days of notification. The review shall be handled by the subunit of the department of transportation designated by the secretary. The issues at the review are limited to whether the driver safety plan, if challenged, is appropriate and whether the person is in compliance with the assessment order or the driver safety plan. The review shall be conducted within 10 days after a request is received. If the driver safety plan is determined to be inappropriate, the department shall order a reassessment and if the person is otherwise eligible, the department shall reinstate the person's operating privilege. If the person is determined to be in compliance with the assessment or driver safety plan, and if the person is otherwise eligible, the department shall reinstate the person's operating privilege. If there is no decision within the 10-day period, the department shall issue an order reinstating the person's operating privilege until the review is completed, unless the delay is at the request of the person seeking the review.

Under the influence of an intoxicant, a controlled substance, a controlled substance analog or any combination of an intoxicant, a controlled substance and a controlled substance analog, under the influence of any other drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving, or under the combined influence of an intoxicant and any other drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving; or

SB338,27,15 (b) In an action under this subsection, the defendant has a defense if he or she proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the injury bodily harm would have occurred even if he or she had been exercising due care and he or she had not been under the influence of an intoxicant, a controlled substance, a controlled substance analog or a combination thereof, under the influence of any other drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving, or under the combined influence of an intoxicant and any other drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving or did not have a prohibited alcohol concentration described under par. (a) 2.

Note: Section 346.63 (2) and (6), stats., provides that a person may not cause injury while operating a motor vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug. This Section and Section 39 also prohibit the causing of bodily harm. The term "bodily harm" is defined in Section 2 to mean physical pain or injury, illness or any impairment of physical condition. The definition is adopted from s. 939.22 (4), stats.

SB338, s. 39 Section 39 . 346.63 (6) (a) and (c) of the statutes are amended to read:

SB338, s. 42 Section 42. 346.65 (2) (g) 4. of the statutes is created to read:

SB338,29,2 346.65 (2) (g) 4. The increased fines provided in this paragraph do not apply if a person convicted is subject to par. (f).

Note: Current law provides that if a person is convicted of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, and if a minor passenger under 16 years of age is in or on a vehicle at the time of the violation, the applicable minimum and maximum forfeitures, fines or imprisonment for the convictions are doubled. Also, the applicable minimum and maximum fines will be doubled, tripled or quadrupled if the operator of the motor vehicle had an alcohol concentration of 0.17 to 0.199, 0.20 to 0.249, or 0.25 or above, respectively. This draft clarifies that the increased fines for increasing alcohol concentrations may not be applied if the penalty relating to a minor passenger under the age of 16 years is applicable to the offense.

SB338, s. 43 Section 43. 346.65 (2g) (b) and (c) and (2i) of the statutes are amended to read:

SB338,29,18 346.65 (2g) (b) The court may require a person ordered to perform community service work under par. (a) or (ag), or under s. 973.05 (3) (a) if that person's fine resulted from violating s. 346.63 (2), 940.09 (1), or 940.25, to participate in community service work that demonstrates the adverse effects of substance abuse or of operating a vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug, including working at an alcoholism treatment facility approved under s. 51.45, an emergency room of a general hospital, or a driver awareness program under s. 346.637. The court may order the person to pay a reasonable fee, based on the person's ability to pay, to offset the cost of establishing, maintaining , and monitoring the community service work ordered under this paragraph. If the opportunities available to perform community service work are fewer in number than the number of defendants eligible under this subsection, the court shall, when making an order under this paragraph, give preference to defendants who were under 21 years of age at the time of the offense. All provisions of par. (am) apply to any community service work ordered under this paragraph.

SB338,30,9 (c) If there was a minor passenger under 16 years of age in the motor vehicle or commercial motor vehicle at the time of the violation that gave rise to the conviction, the court may require a person ordered to perform community service work under par. (a) or (ag), or under s. 973.05 (3) (a) if that person's fine resulted from violating s. 346.63 (2), (5) (a), or (6) (a), 940.09 (1), or 940.25, to participate in community service work that benefits children or that demonstrates the adverse effects on children of substance abuse or of operating a vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug. The court may order the person to pay a reasonable fee, based on the person's ability to pay, to offset the cost of establishing, maintaining, and monitoring the community service work ordered under this paragraph.

SB338,31,9 (2i) In addition to the authority of the court under sub. (2g) and s. 973.05 (3) (a), the court may order a defendant subject to sub. (2), or a defendant subject to s. 973.05 (3) (a) who violated s. 346.63 (2), 940.09 (1), or 940.25, to visit a site that demonstrates the adverse effects of substance abuse or of operating a vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug, including an alcoholism treatment facility approved under s. 51.45 or an emergency room of a general hospital in lieu of part or all of any forfeiture imposed or in addition to any penalty imposed. The court may order the defendant to pay a reasonable fee, based on the person's ability to pay, to offset the costs of establishing, maintaining, and monitoring the visits ordered under this subsection. The court may order a visit to the site only if agreed to by the person responsible for the site. If the opportunities available to visit sites under this subsection are fewer than the number of defendants eligible for a visit, the court shall, when making an order under this subsection, give preference to defendants who were under 21 years of age at the time of the offense. The court shall ensure that the visit is monitored. A visit to a site may be ordered for a specific time and a specific day to allow the defendant to observe victims of vehicle accidents involving intoxicated drivers. If it appears to the court that the defendant has not complied with the court order to visit a site or to pay a reasonable fee, the court may order the defendant to show cause why he or she should not be held in contempt of court. Any organization or agency acting in good faith to which a defendant is assigned pursuant to an order under this subsection has immunity from any civil liability in excess of $25,000 for acts or omissions by or impacting on the defendant. The issuance or possibility of the issuance of an order under this subsection does not entitle an indigent defendant who is subject to sub. (2) (a) to representation by counsel under ch. 977.

SB338, s. 44 Section 44. 346.65 (2q) and (2u) (a) of the statutes are amended to read:

SB338,31,13 346.65 (2q) Any person violating s. 346.63 (2m) shall forfeit $10. If there was a minor passenger under 16 years of age in the motor vehicle at the time of the violation that gave rise to the conviction under 346.63 (2m), the forfeiture is $20 $50.

SB338,31,14 (2u) (a) Any person violating s. 346.63 (7) shall forfeit $10 $50.

Note: Current law provides that a person under the legal drinking age must forfeit $10 if the person drives or operates a motor vehicle while the person has an alcohol concentration of more than 0.0 but not more than 0.1. If a minor passenger under 16 years of age is in the motor vehicle, the forfeiture is $20. This Section amends s. 346.65 (2q), stats., to provide that a violation of this absolute sobriety provision will result in a forfeiture of $50, regardless of whether there was a minor passenger in the motor vehicle at the time of the violation.

Section 346.63 (7), stats., imposes an absolute sobriety requirement on a person driving or operating, or on duty time with respect to, a commercial motor vehicle. The current penalty for a violation of this provision is a forfeiture of $10. This Section amends s. 346.65 (2u) (a), stats., to provide that a violation of the absolute sobriety provision will result in a forfeiture of $50.

SB338, s. 45 Section 45. 346.65 (3m) and (7) of the statutes are amended to read:

If there was a minor passenger under 16 years of age in the motor vehicle at the time of the violation that gave rise to the conviction under s. 346.63 (2) or (6), the offense is a felony, the applicable minimum and maximum fines or periods of imprisonment for the conviction are doubled , and the place of imprisonment shall be determined under s. 973.02.

SB338,32,6 (7) A person convicted sentenced to imprisonment under sub. (2) (b), (c), (d), or (e) or, (2j) (b) or (c), or (3m) shall be required to remain in the county jail for not less than a 48-consecutive-hour period.

Note: Section 346.65 (3m), stats., provides that a person who causes injury while operating a motor vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant or drug must be fined not less than $300 nor more than $2,000 and may be imprisoned for not less than 30 days nor more than one year in the county jail. This Section amends s. 346.65 (3m) and (7), stats., to provide that, with respect to imprisonment, a violator may be imprisoned for not more than one year in the county jail. However, the violator will be required to remain in the county jail for not less than a 48-consecutive hour period if sentenced to imprisonment under the specified provisions of s. 346.65, stats.

SB338, s. 46 Section 46. 346.65 (8) of the statutes is created to read:
