Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Natural resources
Fish, game, and wildlife
Under current law, DNR may issue, at a reduced fee, a conservation patron license to a resident or a nonresident who is under the age of 18. A conservation license gives the licensee the privileges of a combination of various fish and game licenses and free admission to state parks and other recreational areas for which DNR charges fees. A conservation patron licensee also receives a free annual subscription to the Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine.
Under this bill, any conservation patron licensee who is under the age of 18 will not receive the privilege of free admission to state parks and other recreational areas and will not receive the free magazine subscription.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 27.01 (7) (c) 7. of the statutes is amended to read:

A person may operate a motor vehicle, except a motor bus, as defined in s. 340.01 (31), subject to the admission requirements under s. 27.01 (7), in any vehicle admission area under s. 27.01 (7) without having an admission receipt affixed to the vehicle or otherwise displayed and without paying a fee if the vehicle has as an occupant a holder of a resident or nonresident conservation patron license who can present the license upon demand in the vehicle admission area. The conservation patron license permits the license holder to enter Heritage Hill state park or a state trail without paying an admission fee. This subsection does not apply to holders of conservation patron licenses who are under the age of 18 years.
SECTION 4. 29.235 (5) of the statutes is amended to read:
29.235 (5) SUBSCRIPTION. At the time the department issues a conservation patron license, it shall provide the each licensee who is at least 18 years of age with an annual subscription to the Wisconsin natural resources magazine without any additional fee or charge.

29.235 (6) ADMISSION RECEIPT. At the same time the department issues a conservation patron license, it may issue an annual resident or nonresident vehicle admission receipt or a special receipt for admission to state parks and similar areas. The department may issue an annual resident or nonresident vehicle admission receipt or a special receipt for admission to state parks and similar areas to a person who has a conservation patron license on location at the state park or similar area. A person who is issued a receipt under this subsection shall affix the receipt by its own adhesive to the interior surface of the lower left-hand corner of the windshield of the vehicle or otherwise display it as authorized under a rule promulgated under s. 27.01 (7) (e) 2. A receipt issued under this section is not considered part of a conservation patron license for the purpose of issuing a duplicate. No duplicate receipt may be issued for a receipt that is affixed by its own adhesive to a windshield unless the license holder provides evidence that the vehicle upon which the sticker receipt is affixed is no longer usable or that the vehicle was transferred to another person and the license holder presents the original receipt or remnants of it to the department. Section 29.024 (7) applies to the issuance of a duplicate receipt that is displayed as authorized under the rule promulgated under s. 27.01 (7) (e) 2. This subsection does not apply to holders of conservation patron licenses who are under the age of 18 years.
SECTION 9335. Initial applicability; natural resources.
(1) CONSERVATION PATRON LICENSES. The treatment of sections 27.01 (7) (c) 7. and (8) (b) 3. and 29.235 (3), (5), and (6) of the statutes first applies to conservation patron licenses issued on the effective date of this subsection.

Any person who obtains a vehicle must obtain a certificate of title for that vehicle from DOT. If a person obtains a vehicle from a motor vehicle dealer, the dealer prepares the application for certificate of title for the person, collects the required application fees, and submits the application to DOT within seven business days of the sale of the vehicle. Currently, some motor vehicle dealers participate in a voluntary program wherein the dealers process the applications for certificate of title electronically.
Under this bill, all motor vehicle dealers must process the applications for certificate of title electronically. A dealer who fails to do so may have its license revoked or suspended by DOT.
