2001 - 2002 LEGISLATURE
February 1, 2001 - Introduced by Representative Walker, cosponsored by Senator
Rosenzweig. Referred to Committee on Transportation.
AB59,1,3
1An Act relating to: requiring the department of transportation to register and
2issue a certificate of title for a motorcycle having a certain vehicle identification
3number.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who owns or possesses a junk vehicle that has not
been junked or destroyed must return the certificate of title for the vehicle to the
department of transportation (DOT) within ten days after determining the junk
condition of the vehicle. A "junk vehicle" is a vehicle that is incapable of operation
or use upon a highway and that has no resale value except as a source of scrap or
parts or a vehicle that an insurance company owns or possesses if the estimated cost
of repairing the vehicle exceeds its fair market value. DOT is prohibited from
subsequently issuing a regular certificate of title for a junk vehicle.
This bill requires DOT to register and issue a regular certificate of title for a
motorcycle having a vehicle identification number of JYA1AE0036A006292 upon
receipt of completed applications and all required fees, notwithstanding the fact that
DOT was notified of the junk condition of the vehicle and its certificate of title was
returned to DOT.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
