An order affecting ch.
Trans 195, relating to fees and procedures for searches and documentation of division of motor vehicle records. Effective 12-1-07.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This proposed amendment will have minimal increased cost on small business. The rule requires that a business obtain a criminal background check from the Wisconsin Department of Justice for all persons who will have direct access to vehicle or driver license records. The Department of Justice currently charges a fee of $13 (request by internet) or $18 (request by mail or fax) for each criminal background check. For example, if a small business has 25 employees and 10 of those employees are proposed to have direct access to vehicle or driver license records, the small business would need to pay the Department of Justice up to $180 for criminal background checks.
