DOA:......Percy, BB0334 - Electronic Processing of Motor Vehicle Title Applications

2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Transportation
Drivers and Motor Vehicles
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.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 218.0116 (1) (gr) of the statutes is created to read:
218.0116 (1) (gr) Being a dealer who violates s. 218.0146 (4).
SECTION 2. 218.0146 (4) of the statutes is created to read:
218.0146 (4) A motor vehicle dealer who is required to submit to the department an application for transfer of title and registration under s. 342.16 (1) (a) shall comply with the requirements of s. 342.16 (1) (am).
SECTION 3. 341.09 (2m) (a) 1., 2. and 3. and (d) of the statutes are amended to read:
341.09 (2m) (a) 1. Upon request by a dealer licensed in this state, the department may issue any number of temporary operation plates and temporary permits to a dealer under sub. (2) at a fee of $3 per plate item. The dealer may issue the temporary operation plate or permit at a fee of $3 to any of the following:
2. Notwithstanding subd. 1., the department shall issue a sufficient number of temporary operation plates and temporary permits without charge to each dealer licensed in this state for issuance under this subdivision. Each dealer shall issue a temporary operation plate or a temporary permit without charge to any state resident who purchases or leases from the dealer an automobile or motor truck having a registered weight of 8,000 pounds or less, for use on such vehicle if the state resident submits to the dealer a complete application for registration of the vehicle, including evidence of inspection under s. 110.20 when required, and for a new certificate of title for a purchased vehicle, together with a check or money order made payable to the department for all applicable title, registration, security interest and sales tax moneys, for transmittal to the department by the dealer.
3. The department shall prescribe the manner in which a dealer shall keep records of temporary operation plates and temporary permits issued by the dealer.
(d) If the department determines that a dealer has misused plates or permits issued under this subsection or sub. (4) or has failed to comply with the requirements of this section or rules issued under this section, the department may order the dealer to return all temporary operation plates and permits in the dealer's possession. Within 30 days after the issuance of the order, the dealer may request a hearing before the division of hearings and appeals. The division of hearings and appeals shall schedule a hearing with reasonable promptness. The dealer may not issue any temporary operation plates or permits until after the division of hearings and appeals holds its scheduled hearing and issues its findings.
SECTION 4. 341.09 (9) of the statutes is amended to read:
341.09 (9) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the department shall issue a temporary operation plate or a temporary permit without charge for an automobile or motor truck having a registered weight of 8,000 pounds or less upon receipt of a complete application accompanied by the required fee for registration of the vehicle, including evidence of any inspection under s. 110.20 when required, if the department does not immediately issue the regular registration plates for the vehicle and the department determines that the applicant has not otherwise been issued a temporary operation plate or a temporary permit under this section.
SECTION 5. 342.16 (1) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
342.16 (1) (a) Except as provided in par. (c), if a dealer acquires a new or used vehicle that is not a salvage vehicle and holds it for resale, or acquires a salvage vehicle that is currently titled as a salvage vehicle and holds it for resale or accepts a vehicle for sale on consignment, the dealer may not submit to the department the certificate of title or application for certificate of title naming the dealer as owner of the vehicle. Upon transferring the vehicle to another person, the dealer shall immediately give the transferee on a form prescribed by the department a receipt for all title, registration, security interest and sales tax moneys paid to the dealer for transmittal to the department when required. The dealer shall promptly execute the assignment and warranty of title, showing the name and address of the transferee and of any secured party holding a security interest created or reserved at the time of the resale or sale on consignment, in the spaces provided therefor on the certificate or as the department prescribes. Within 7 business days following the sale or transfer, the dealer shall mail or deliver the certificate or application for certificate to the department with the transferee's application for a new certificate. A nonresident who purchases a motor vehicle from a dealer in this state may not, unless otherwise authorized by rule of the department, apply for a certificate of title issued for the vehicle in this state unless the dealer determines that a title is necessary to protect the interests of a secured party. The dealer is responsible for determining whether a title and perfection of security interest is required. The dealer is liable for any damages incurred by the department or any secured party for the dealer's failure to perfect a security interest which the dealer had knowledge of at the time of sale.
SECTION 6. 342.16 (1) (am) of the statutes is created to read:
342.16 (1) (am) 1. Except as provided in subd. 2., a motor vehicle dealer, as defined in s. 218.0101 (23), who processes an application for transfer of title and registration as provided in par. (a) shall utilize an electronic process prescribed by the department under this paragraph or provided for under ss. 341.20 and 341.21. The dealer may charge a reasonable fee for electronic processing under this paragraph.
2. The department may, by rule, exempt a motor vehicle dealer from the requirements of this paragraph. A motor vehicle dealer who is exempted shall pay a fee to the department to process applications for transfer of title and registration that are submitted to the department by the exempted dealer.
3. The department shall promulgate rules to implement and administer this paragraph.
SECTION 9148. Nonstatutory provisions; transportation.
(1) ELECTRONIC PROCESSING OF TITLE AND REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS. The department of transportation may, prior to June 30, 2007, require certain motor vehicle dealers to electronically process all applications for motor vehicle title and registration submitted under section 342.16 (1) (a) of the statutes.
SECTION 9448. Effective dates; transportation.

DOA:......Percy, BB0332 - Automation of driver record certifications
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: self-authentication of driver records by electronic certification by the Department of Transportation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Transportation
Drivers and motor vehicles
Under current law, documentary evidence offered before a court must meet certain requirements of authentication as a condition precedent to admissibility. Certain documents, including certified public records, may be self-authenticating if specified requirements are met so that extrinsic evidence of authentication is not required. A copy of an official record or report or of a document recorded or filed in a public office, including data compilations in any form, certified according to certain criteria as correct by a person authorized to do so is self-authenticating.
This bill allows driver records maintained by DOT to be certified electronically by DOT as public records qualifying for self-authentication if the electronic certification is made in a manner determined by DOT to satisfactorily support a finding that the document is what it purports to be. Accordingly, driver records may be self-authenticating by certification generated by a DOT computer system rather than a DOT employee.
