2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE

SENATE SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1, TO 2009 SENATE BILL 627

April 13, 2010 - Offered by Senator Coggs.

SB627-SSA1,1,4 An Act to renumber and amend 341.14 (6r) (b) 9.; to amend 341.14 (6r) (fm) 7.; and to create 341.14 (6r) (b) 9. b. and 341.14 (6r) (f) 15m. of the statutes; relating to: special registration plates for women veterans and making an appropriation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, any group or organization may apply to the Department of Transportation (DOT) 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 substitute amendment establishes an authorized special group for women veterans. In addition to the regular vehicle registration fee, special group members are required to pay a $15 fee for issuance or reissuance of the special plates. Except for the initial costs of production of the special group plate or $23,700, whichever is less, this $15 fee received by DOT for these special group plates is deposited in the veterans trust fund.

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:
