AB354,1,3 An Act to amend 343.50 (5m) and 343.50 (7) of the statutes; relating to: the fee for duplicate identification cards issued by the Department of Transportation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, as created in 2011 Wisconsin Act 23, the Department of Transportation (DOT) may not charge a fee to an applicant for the initial issuance, renewal, or reinstatement of an identification card if the applicant is a U.S. citizen who will be at least 18 years of age on the date of the next election and the applicant requests that the identification card be provided without charge for purposes of voting.

This bill includes the issuance of a duplicate identification card by DOT in this fee exception.

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:
