AB670: Bill Text

AB670, s. 8 Section 8. 343.30 (1g) (c) of the statutes is created to read:

AB670,6,14 343.30 (1g) (c) A court shall suspend a person's operating privilege upon the person's conviction under s. 343.44 for violating s. 343.10 (5) (a) 3. or under s. 347.413. The revocation shall be for a period of not less than 6 months nor more than 9 months. If a person is convicted under s. 347.413, the person is eligible for an occupational license at any time.

Note: This Section creates a license suspension provision applicable to persons who are convicted of tampering with an ignition interlock device (IID), either under the general tampering provision in s. 347.413, stats., or the tampering language in s. 343.10, stats. As with the current IID tampering laws, this suspension applies to whoever commits the tampering violation (that is, the operator subject to the IID restriction or anyone else tampering with the device). Except where an occupational license is involved, the suspension period and the provision making the operator eligible for an occupational license at any time is the same as that currently applicable to a first offense violator of the statutes prohibiting the operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug (OWI). If the violator is an OWI violator who has an occupational license, the provisions of the occupational license statute determine future eligibility for such a license.

AB670, s. 9 Section 9. 343.30 (1q) (c) 1. (intro.) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB670,7,5 343.30 (1q) (c) 1. (intro.) Except as provided in subd. 1. a. or b., the court shall order the person to submit to and comply with an assessment by an approved public treatment facility, as defined in s. 51.45 (2) (c) , for examination of the person's use of alcohol, controlled substances or controlled substance analogs an intoxicant and development of a driver safety plan for the person. The court shall notify the department of transportation of the assessment order. The court shall notify the person that noncompliance with assessment or the driver safety plan will result in revocation of the person's operating privilege until the person is in compliance. The assessment order shall:

AB670, s. 10 Section 10. 343.30 (1q) (d) of the statutes, as affected by 1997 Wisconsin Act 84, is amended to read:

AB670,8,22 343.30 (1q) (d) The assessment report shall order compliance with a driver safety plan. The report shall inform the person of the fee provisions under s. 46.03 (18) (f). The driver safety plan may include a component that makes the person aware of the effect of his or her offense on a victim and a victim's family. The driver safety plan may include treatment for the person's misuse, abuse, or dependence on alcohol, controlled substances or controlled substance analogs an intoxicant, or attendance at a school under s. 345.60, or both. If the plan requires inpatient treatment, the treatment shall not exceed 30 days. A driver safety plan under this paragraph shall include a termination date consistent with the plan which shall not extend beyond one year. The county department under s. 51.42 shall assure notification of the department of transportation and the person of the person's compliance or noncompliance with assessment and with treatment. The school under s. 345.60 shall notify the department, the county department under s. 51.42, and the person of the person's compliance or noncompliance with the requirements of the school. Nonpayment of the assessment fee or, if the person has the ability to pay, nonpayment of the driver safety plan fee is noncompliance with the court order. If the department is notified of any noncompliance, other than for nonpayment of the assessment fee or driver safety plan fee, it shall revoke the person's operating privilege until the county department under s. 51.42 or the school under s. 345.60 notifies the department that the person is in compliance with assessment or the driver safety plan. If the department is notified that a person has not paid the assessment fee, or that a person with the ability to pay has not paid the driver safety plan fee, the department shall suspend the person's operating privilege for a period of 2 years or until it receives notice that the person has paid the fee, whichever occurs first. The department shall notify the person of the suspension or revocation, the reason for the suspension or revocation, and the person's right to a review. A person may request a review of a revocation based upon failure to comply with a driver safety plan within 10 days of notification. The review shall be handled by the subunit of the department of transportation designated by the secretary. The issues at the review are limited to whether the driver safety plan, if challenged, is appropriate and whether the person is in compliance with the assessment order or the driver safety plan. The review shall be conducted within 10 days after a request is received. If the driver safety plan is determined to be inappropriate, the department shall order a reassessment and, if the person is otherwise eligible, the department shall reinstate the person's operating privilege. If the person is determined to be in compliance with the assessment or driver safety plan, and if the person is otherwise eligible, the department shall reinstate the person's operating privilege. If there is no decision within the 10-day period, the department shall issue an order reinstating the person's operating privilege until the review is completed, unless the delay is at the request of the person seeking the review.

AB670, s. 11 Section 11. 343.30 (1q) (h) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB670,9,17 343.30 (1q) (h) The court or department shall provide that the period of suspension or revocation imposed under this subsection shall be reduced by any period of suspension or revocation previously served under s. 343.305 if the suspension or revocation under s. 343.305 and the conviction for violation of s. 346.63 (1) or (2m) or a local ordinance in conformity therewith arise out of the same incident or occurrence. The court or department shall order that the period of suspension or revocation imposed under this subsection run concurrently with any period of time remaining on a suspension or revocation imposed under s. 343.305 arising out of the same incident or occurrence. The court or department shall order that any period of time that must expire before a person is eligible for an occupational license under this subsection be reduced by any similar period previously expired under s. 343.305 if the suspension or revocation under s. 343.305 and the conviction for violation of s. 346.63 (1) or a local ordinance in conformity therewith arise out of the same incident or occurrence. The court or department shall order that any period of time that must expire before a person is eligible for an occupational license under this subsection run concurrently with any similar period of time remaining under s. 343.305 arising out of the same incident or occurrence. The court may modify an occupational license authorized under s. 343.305 (8) (d) in accordance with this subsection.

Note: Section 343.30 (1q) (b), stats., provides that a person who is convicted of driving or operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug or while maintaining a prohibited alcohol concentration will be subject to revocation of the person's operating privilege and a specified period of time within which the person is not eligible to obtain an occupational license. Similarly, s. 343.305 (10) (b), stats., provides that a person who improperly refuses to take a test to determine the presence of alcohol or other drugs will be subject to a revocation of the person's operating privilege and a specified period of time within which the person is not eligible to obtain an occupational license. This Section provides that, for a conviction and a refusal that arise out of the same incident or occurrence, the periods of time within which a person will not be eligible for an occupational license will run concurrently or, if an eligibility period has begun to run for a refusal, the latter period will operate as an offset to the period of ineligibility for an occupational license under s. 343.30, stats.

AB670, s. 12 Section 12. 343.303 of the statutes is renumbered 343.303 (1) (intro.) and amended to read:

AB670,10,6 343.303 (1) (intro.) If a A law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe , prior to an arrest, may request a person to provide a sample of his or her breath for a preliminary breath screening test using a device approved by the department for this purpose if any of the following conditions exists:

AB670,10,10 (a) The law enforcement officer has reasonable suspicion that the person is violating or has violated s. 346.63 (1) or (2m) or a local ordinance in conformity therewith, or s. 346.63 (2) or (6) or, 940.09 (1), or 940.25 or s. 940.09 where the offense involved the use of a vehicle, or if the.

AB670,10,14 (b) The law enforcement officer detects any presence of alcohol, a controlled substance, controlled substance analog or other drug, or a combination thereof, an intoxicant on a person driving or operating or on duty time with respect to a commercial motor vehicle or.

AB670,10,19 (c) The law enforcement officer has reason to believe that the person is violating or has violated s. 346.63 (7) or a local ordinance in conformity therewith, the officer, prior to an arrest, may request the person to provide a sample of his or her breath for a preliminary breath screening test using a device approved by the department for this purpose.

AB670,10,25 (2) The result of this the preliminary breath screening test under sub. (1) may be used by the law enforcement officer for the purpose of deciding whether or not the person shall be arrested for a violation of s. 346.63 (1), (2m), (5) , or (7) or a local ordinance in conformity therewith, or s. 346.63 (2) or (6), 940.09 (1), or 940.25 and whether or not to require or request chemical tests as authorized under s. 343.305 (3).

AB670,11,6 (3) The result of the preliminary breath screening test under sub. (1) shall not be admissible in any action or proceeding except to show probable cause for an arrest, if the arrest is challenged, to show the presence of an intoxicant in a person's breath, blood, or urine, or to prove that a chemical test was properly required or requested of a person under s. 343.305 (3). Following the screening test, additional tests may be required or requested of the driver under s. 343.305 (3).

AB670,11,8 (4) The general penalty provision under s. 939.61 (1) does not apply to a refusal to take a preliminary breath screening test under this section.

Note: This Section reorganizes s. 343.303 and provides that a law enforcement officer may require a preliminary breath screening test if there is a reasonable suspicion, rather than probable cause to believe, that a violation has occurred. This change is based on the decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court in County of Jefferson v. Renz, 231 Wis. 2d 293 (1999).

In addition, current law provides that a preliminary breath screening test is not admissible in any action or proceeding except to show probable cause for an arrest, if the arrest is challenged, or to prove that a chemical test was properly required or requested. This Section provides that the result of the preliminary breath screening test also may be used as evidence of the presence of an intoxicant in a person's breath, blood, or urine; that is, the result of the test is admissible for the purpose of providing evidence of the existence of an intoxicant but not for the purpose of providing evidence of the amount of an intoxicant.

AB670, s. 13 Section 13. 343.305 (2), (3) (am) and (b), (4) (form) and (5) (b) of the statutes are amended to read:

AB670,12,5 343.305 (2) Implied consent. Any person who is on duty time with respect to a commercial motor vehicle or drives or operates a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this state, or in those areas enumerated in s. 346.61, is deemed to have given consent to one or more tests of his or her breath, blood, or urine, for the purpose of determining the presence or quantity of an intoxicant in his or her blood or breath, of alcohol, controlled substances, controlled substance analogs or other drugs, or any combination of alcohol, controlled substances, controlled substance analogs and other drugs breath, blood, or urine, when requested to do so by a law enforcement officer under sub. (3) (a) or (am) or when required to do so under sub. (3) (b). Any such tests shall be administered upon the request of a law enforcement officer. The law enforcement agency by which the officer is employed shall be prepared to administer, either at its agency or any other agency or facility, 2 of the 3 tests under sub. (3) (a) or (am), and may designate which of the tests shall be administered first.

AB670,12,15 (3) (am) Prior to arrest, a law enforcement officer may request the person to provide one or more samples of his or her breath, blood, or urine for the purpose specified under sub. (2) whenever a law enforcement officer detects any presence of alcohol, a controlled substance, a controlled substance analog or other drug, or a combination thereof, an intoxicant on a person driving or operating or on duty time with respect to a commercial motor vehicle or has reason to believe the person is violating or has violated s. 346.63 (7). Compliance with a request for one type of sample does not bar a subsequent request for a different type of sample. For the purposes of this paragraph, "law enforcement officer" includes inspectors in the performance of duties under s. 110.07 (3).

AB670,12,25 (b) A person who is unconscious or otherwise not capable of withdrawing consent is presumed not to have withdrawn consent under this subsection, and if a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe that the person has violated s. 346.63 (1), (2m), or (5) or a local ordinance in conformity therewith, or s. 346.63 (2) or (6) or 940.25, or s. 940.09 where the offense involved the use of a vehicle, or detects any presence of alcohol, controlled substance, controlled substance analog or other drug, or a combination thereof, an intoxicant on a person driving or operating or on duty time with respect to a commercial motor vehicle or has reason to believe the person has violated s. 346.63 (7), one or more samples tests specified in par. (a) or (am) may be administered to the person.

AB670,13,1 (4) (form)

AB670,13,5 "You have either been arrested for an offense that involves driving or operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both an intoxicant, or you are suspected of driving or being on duty time with respect to a commercial motor vehicle after consuming an intoxicating beverage.

AB670,13,13 This law enforcement agency now wants to test one or more samples of your breath, blood, or urine to determine the concentration of alcohol or drugs an intoxicant in your system. If any test shows more alcohol in your system than the law permits while driving, your operating privilege will be suspended. If you refuse to take any test that this agency requests, your operating privilege will be revoked and you will be subject to other penalties. The test results or the fact that you refused testing can be used against you in court. The law does not provide you with a right to contact an attorney before submitting to a chemical test.

AB670,13,17 If you take all of the requested tests, you may choose to take further tests. You may take the alternative test that this law enforcement agency provides free of charge. You also may have a test conducted by a qualified person of your choice at your expense. You, however, will have to make your own arrangements for that test.

AB670,13,20 If you have a commercial driver license or were operating a commercial motor vehicle, other consequences may result from positive test results or from refusing testing, such as being placed out of service or disqualified."

AB670,14,3 (5) (b) Blood may be withdrawn from the person arrested for violation of s. 346.63 (1), (2), (2m), (5), or (6) or 940.25, or s. 940.09 where the offense involved the use of a vehicle, or a local ordinance in conformity with s. 346.63 (1), (2m), or (5), or as provided in sub. (3) (am) or (b) to determine the presence or quantity of alcohol, a controlled substance, a controlled substance analog or any other drug, or any combination of alcohol, controlled substance, controlled substance analog and any other drug an intoxicant in the blood only by a physician, registered nurse, medical technologist, physician assistant, or person acting under the direction of a physician.

Note: Section 343.305 (4), stats., requires that a law enforcement officer provide a person specified notifications at the time that a chemical test specimen is requested. This Section adds to the notice a provision that when a chemical test specimen is requested, the person to be tested does not have the right to contact an attorney prior to testing.

AB670, s. 14 Section 14. 343.305 (5) (d) of the statutes is repealed and recreated to read:
