8authority in charge of the maintenance of the highway, in highway winter mainte
9nance snow and ice removal during either a storm or cleanup following a storm. This
10information must be filed by the department so that the complete operator's record
11is available for the use of the secretary in determining whether operating privileges
12of such person shall be suspended, revoked, canceled or withheld in the interest of
13public safety. The record of suspensions, revocations and convictions that would be

19residency to another state such record may be transferred to another state of licen
20sure of the licensee if that state accepts responsibility for maintaining a permanent
21record of convictions for disqualifying offenses. Such reports and records may be cu
22mulative beyond the period for which a license is granted, but the secretary, in exer
23cising the power of
suspension or revocation granted under s. 343.32 (2) may consider
24only those reports and records entered during the 4-year period immediately preced
25ing the exercise of such power of
