AB822,1,2
1An Act to amend 343.11 (2) of the statutes;
relating to: issuance of operators'
2licenses to persons previously licensed in another state.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who holds a valid motor vehicle operator's license
issued by another state or jurisdiction must surrender this out-of-state operator's
license to the Department of Transportation (DOT) prior to issuance by DOT of a
Wisconsin operator's license. Within 30 days after application to DOT, DOT must
return any out-of-state license to the state of issuance, together with information
that the applicant is now licensed in this state or has been refused a license by this
state, as applicable.
This bill requires that, in lieu of returning an out-of-state license to the state
of issuance, DOT must, within 30 days following a person's licensure in this state,
destroy any surrendered license and report to the state of issuance that the person
is now licensed in this state.
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:
