transportation
Drivers and motor vehicles
Current law prohibits a person from operating a motor vehicle on the highway during any period in which the person's motor vehicle operating privilege is revoked (operating while revoked). A person convicted of operating while revoked on or after May 1, 2002, is subject to a criminal penalty and must be fined not more than $2,500 or imprisoned for not more than one year or both.
This bill makes first offense operating while revoked a civil penalty, under which a person must forfeit not more than $600 but may not be imprisoned, if the underlying operating privilege revocation does not result from specified alcohol or controlled substance-related traffic violations.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

taxation
Income taxation
Under current law, for purposes of computing corporate income taxes and franchise taxes, a formula is used to attribute a portion of a corporation's income to this state. The formula has three factors: a sales factor, a property factor, and a payroll factor. The sales factor represents 50 percent of the formula and the property and payroll factors each represent 25 percent of the formula. Under current law, beginning on January 1, 2008, the sales factor will be the only factor used to attribute a portion of a corporation's income to this state. This bill modifies the sales factor to provide for the apportionment of income derived from the lease, rental, or licensing of real property and moving property, the use of computer software, and the sale or use of intangible property and services.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

71.04 (7) (db) Gross receipts from the lease, rental, or licensing of real property owned by the taxpayer and the sublease of real property are in this state if the real property is located in this state.

71.04 (7) (dd) 1. Except as provided in subd. 2., gross receipts from the lease, rental, or licensing of tangible personal property owned by the taxpayer and the sublease of tangible personal property are in this state if the property is located in this state during the entire period of lease, rental, licensing, sublease, or other use. If the property is used in and outside this state during the period of lease, rental, licensing, or sublease, gross receipts are in this state to the extent that the property is used in this state.

2. Gross receipts from the lease, rental, or licensing of moving property, including motor vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment, owned by the taxpayer and the sublease of moving property are in this state to the extent that the property is used in this state. The proportion of use of moving property in this state is determined as follows:
a. The proportion of use of a motor vehicle or rolling stock in this state is determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the lease, rental, licensing, or sublease of the motor vehicle or rolling stock by a fraction having as a numerator the number of miles traveled within this state by the motor vehicle or rolling stock while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year and having as a denominator the total number of miles traveled by the motor vehicle or rolling stock while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year.
b. The proportion of use of an aircraft in this state is determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the lease, rental, licensing, or sublease of the aircraft by a fraction having as a numerator the number of takeoffs and landings of the aircraft in this state while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year and having as a denominator the total number of takeoffs and landings of the aircraft while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year.
c. The proportion of use of a vessel or mobile equipment in this state is determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the lease, rental, licensing, or sublease of the vessel or mobile equipment by a fraction having as a numerator the number of days that the vessel or mobile equipment is in this state while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year and having as a denominator the total number of days that the vessel or mobile equipment is leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year.

If the taxpayer is unable to determine the use of moving property under subd. 2. a., b., or c. while the property is leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year, the moving property is conclusively deemed to be used in the state in which the property is located at the time that the lessee, renter, licensee, or sublessee takes possession of the property in the taxable year.

If the purchaser or licensee uses the computer software in more than one state, the gross receipts shall be divided among those states having jurisdiction to impose an income tax on the taxpayer in proportion to the use of the computer software in those states. To determine computer software use in this state, the department may consider the number of users in each state where the computer software is used, the number of site licenses or workstations in this state, and any other factors that reflect the use of computer software in this state.
3. If the taxpayer is not subject to income tax in the state in which the gross receipts are considered received under this paragraph, but the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state, 50 percent of those gross receipts shall be included in the numerator of the sales factor.
SECTION 11. 71.04 (7) (dg) of the statutes is created to read:
71.04 (7) (dg) 1. Gross royalties and other gross receipts received for the sale or use of intangible property, including, but not limited to, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service names, franchises, licenses, plans, specifications, blueprints, processes, techniques, formulas, designs, layouts, patterns, drawings, manuals, technical know-how, contracts, and customer lists, are in this state if the user, purchaser, or licensee uses the intangible property at a location in this state.
2. Intangible property is used at a location in this state if the user, purchaser, or licensee uses the property in the operation of a trade or business at a location in this state, for personal use in this state, or if the user, purchaser, or licensee is an individual whose domicile is in this state. If the user, purchaser, or licensee uses the intangible property in more than one state, the gross royalties and other gross receipts from the sale or use of the intangible property shall be divided among those states having jurisdiction to impose an income tax on the taxpayer in proportion to the use of the intangible property in those states. To determine intangible property use in this state, the department may consider the number of licensed sites in each state, the volume of property manufactured, produced, or sold at locations in this state, or any other factors that reflect the use of the intangible property in this state.
3. If the taxpayer is not subject to income tax in the state in which the gross royalties or other gross receipts are considered received under this paragraph, but the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state, 50 percent of those gross royalties or other gross receipts shall be included in the numerator of the sales factor.

SECTION 13. 71.04 (7) (dm) of the statutes is created to read:
