AB882: Bill Text

AB882, s. 54 Section 54 . 344.27 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB882,24,3 344.27 (2) The secretary shall not revoke the operating privilege or registration and shall restore any operating privilege or registration revoked following nonpayment of a judgment when the judgment debtor obtains such order permitting the payment of the judgment in instalments and, unless 3 years have elapsed since the entry of judgment date on which the order permitting the payment of the judgment in instalments is filed with the secretary, furnishes and maintains proof of financial responsibility for the future.

AB882, s. 55 Section 55 . 344.31 of the statutes is amended to read:

AB882,24,14 344.31 Certification of insurance as proof. Proof of financial responsibility for the future may be furnished by filing with the secretary the written certification of any insurer duly authorized to do business in this state that there is in effect a motor vehicle liability policy for the benefit of the person required to furnish proof of financial responsibility or by transmitting such certification to the secretary by another means approved by the secretary. Such certification shall give the effective date of such motor vehicle liability policy, which date shall be the same as the effective date of the certification and shall certify coverage for any motor vehicle operated by the named insured or coverage for any motor vehicle owned by the named insured.

Note: Sections 55 and 56 amend current law regarding the required filing of proof of financial responsibility for the future, to require vehicle owners, and not just vehicle operators, to file this proof. 1991 Wisconsin Act 269 made significant changes to Wisconsin's safety responsibility law. One of these changes required vehicle owners to file proof of financial responsibility before reinstatement of revoked driving privileges. These changes were not carried over to the statutes requiring the filing of proof of financial responsibility for the future, and these Sections make these changes.

AB882, s. 64 Section 64 . 348.25 (6) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB882,26,10 348.25 (6) The officer or agency authorized by s. 348.26 or 348.27 to issue permits may require the permittee to file proof satisfactory to such officer or agency that personal injury and property damage insurance in an amount considered sufficient by such officer or agency will be in force to cover any claim for bodily injury or property damage which may occur in connection with operation under the permit and for which the permittee is legally responsible. Proof of such insurance shall be required in the case of annual permits for transportation of oversize mobile homes.

Note: Section 64 deletes the requirement that proof of insurance for the transportation of oversized mobile homes be filed with DOT before a multiple trip permit may be obtained. According to DOT, this requirement should be eliminated because DOT does not require other types of multiple trip permittees to file proof of insurance; therefore, it should not be required in this case.
