Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no license or permit relating to the production, distribution,
sale or serving of alcohol beverages may be issued to a person who does not meet the
minimum qualifications. With exceptions for specific licenses or permits, the
minimum qualifications include not having an arrest or conviction record, being a
resident of this state, having attained the legal drinking age and completing an
approved responsible beverage server training course. Current law also prohibits
the issuance of a license or permit relating to alcohol beverages to any person who
is a habitual law offender or who has been convicted of a felony, unless pardoned.
This bill prohibits the issuance of a license or permit relating to alcohol
beverages to any person who has been convicted of three or more offenses related to
operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicant
(OWI), or improperly refusing to submit to a chemical test of the person's blood,
breath or urine after being placed under arrest for OWI, if at least one of the offenses
is committed after this bill takes effect.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
