AB225,1,3 An Act to amend 343.14 (2) (b); and to create 343.14 (2) (bg) of the statutes; relating to: the furnishing of social security numbers on applications for licenses and identification cards issued by the department of transportation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, any application for an operator's license or identification card to be issued by the department of transportation must include the applicant's social security number. This bill provides that only an applicant for a commercial driver license must, to the extent required under federal law, furnish his or her social security number. All other applicants are exempt from the requirement of furnishing their social security number. A commercial driver license is required to operate most commercial motor vehicles (primarily trucks and buses).

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

AB225, s. 1 Section 1. 343.14 (2) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB225,1,6 343.14 (2) (b) The applicant's date of birth, social security number, color of eyes, color of hair, sex, height, weight and race;

AB225, s. 2 Section 2. 343.14 (2) (bg) of the statutes is created to read:

AB225, s. 3 Section 3. Effective date.
