2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE
DOA:......Byrnes, BB0015 - License plate program reissuance
For 2009-11 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2009 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Transportation
Drivers and motor vehicles
Current law requires DOT to establish new designs for most vehicle registration plates every ten years and to issue the new plates on a rolling basis as vehicle registrations are renewed by the vehicle owners.
This bill eliminates the current ten-year redesign and reissuance schedule for most vehicle registration plates and instead requires that registration plates be redesigned and reissued at intervals determined by DOT.
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:
SECTION 1. 341.135 (1) and (2m) of the statutes are consolidated, renumbered 341.135 and amended to read:
341.135 Rebasing registration plates. Every 10th year, the At intervals determined by the department, the department shall establish new designs of registration plates to be issued under ss. 341.14 (1), (1a), (1m), (1q), (2), (2m), (6m), and (6r), 341.25 (1) (a), (c), (h), and (j) and (2) (a), (b), and (c), and 341.26 (2) and (3) (a) 1. and (am). Any design for registration plates issued for automobiles and for vehicles registered on the basis of gross weight shall comply with the applicable design requirements of ss. 341.12 (3), 341.13, and 341.14 (6r) (c). The designs for registration plates specified in this subsection section shall be as similar in appearance as practicable during each 10-year design interval. Except as provided in ss. 341.13 (2r) and 341.14 (1), each registration plate issued under s. 341.14 (1), (1a), (1m), (1q), (2), (2m), (6m), or (6r), 341.25 (1) (a), (c), (h), or (j) or (2) (a), (b), or (c), or 341.26 (2) or (3) (a) 1. or (am) during each 10-year design interval shall be of the design established under this subsection section. The department may not redesign registration plates for the special groups under s. 341.14 (6r) (f) 53., 54., or 55. until July 1, 2010. Except for registration plates issued under s. 341.14 (6r) (f) 53., 54., or 55., the first design cycle for registration plates issued under ss. 341.14 (1), (1a), (1m), (1q), (2), (2m), (6m), and (6r), 341.25 (1) (a), (c), (h), and (j) and (2) (a), (b), and (c), and 341.26 (2) and (3) (a) 1. and (am) began July 1, 2000.

2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE
DOA:......Byrnes, BB0016 - No cost identification card for medical surrender or cancellation of driver's license
For 2009-11 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2009 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Transportation
Drivers and motor vehicles
Under current law, DOT issues identification cards, to be used for identification purposes only, to residents who do not possess valid operator's licenses. The fee for initial issuance and renewal of an identification card is $18, plus an additional $10 federal security verification mandate fee. Identification cards are valid for a period of eight years.
Under current law, DOT may require a person holding a motor vehicle operator's license to submit to a special examination to determine incompetency, physical or mental disability, disease, or any other condition that might prevent the person from exercising reasonable and ordinary control over a motor vehicle. After receiving the results of a special examination, DOT may cancel a person's operator's license if it is in the interest of public safety to do so. DOT may also accept the voluntary surrender of a person's operator's license if the person has a mental or physical disability or disease or a medical condition that prevents the person from exercising reasonable control over a motor vehicle.
Under this bill, DOT may not charge a fee to an applicant for the initial issuance of an identification card if: 1) DOT has canceled the applicant's valid operator's license after a special examination of medical condition and, at the time of cancellation, the canceled license was not less than six months from expiring; or 2) DOT has accepted the applicant's voluntary surrender of a valid operator's license based on medical condition and, at the time DOT accepted surrender, the surrendered license was not less than six months from expiring.
Under current law, if DOT cancels a person's operator's license because the person's eyesight does not meet DOT's standards, the person may, without paying any additional fee, retain the license until the license expiration date for use like an identification card if DOT has marked the license accordingly.
This bill repeals this provision of current law.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
