pars. (c) and
(d) without the order of the court.
343.30(1q)(b)1.
1. Except as provided in
subds. 3. and
4., the court shall revoke the person's operating privilege under this paragraph according to the number of previous suspensions, revocations or convictions that would be counted under

s. 343.307 (1), that conviction, suspension or revocation shall count as a prior conviction, suspension or revocation under this subdivision.
343.30(1q)(b)2.
2. Except as provided in
sub. (1r) or
subd. 3.,
4. or
4m., for the first conviction, the court shall revoke the person's operating privilege for not less than 6 months nor more than 9 months. The person is eligible for an occupational license under

940.25 in the person's lifetime, plus the total number of other convictions, suspensions, and revocations counted under
s. 343.307 (1) within a 10-year period, equals 2, the court shall revoke the person's operating privilege for not less than one year nor more than 18 months. After the first 45 days of the revocation period has elapsed, the person is eligible for an occupational license under
s. 343.10 if he or she has completed the assessment and is complying with the driver safety plan ordered under
par. (c).
343.30(1q)(b)4.
4. Except as provided in
sub. (1r) or
subd. 4m., if the number of convictions under

s. 343.10 if he or she has completed the assessment and is complying with the driver safety plan ordered under
par. (c).
343.30(1q)(b)4m.

subd. 2.,
3. or
4. for the conviction are doubled.
343.30(1q)(b)5.
5. The time period under this paragraph shall be measured from the dates of the refusals or violations which resulted in the suspensions, revocations or convictions.
343.30(1q)(c)1.1. 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 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:
343.30(1q)(c)1.a.
a. If the person is a resident, refer the person to an approved public treatment facility in the county in which the person resides. The facility named in the order may provide for assessment of the person in another approved public treatment facility. The order shall provide that if the person is temporarily residing in another state, the facility named in the order may refer the person to an appropriate treatment facility in that state for assessment and development of a driver safety plan for the person satisfying the requirements of that state.
343.30(1q)(c)1.b.
b. If the person is a nonresident, refer the person to an approved public treatment facility in this state. The order shall provide that the facility named in the order may refer the person to an appropriate treatment facility in the state in which the person resides for assessment and development of a driver safety plan for the person satisfying the requirements of that state.
343.30(1q)(c)1.c.
c. Require a person who is referred to a treatment facility in another state under
subd. 1. a. or
b. to furnish the department written verification of his or her compliance from the agency which administers the assessment and driver safety plan program. The person shall provide initial verification of compliance within 60 days after the date of his or her conviction. The requirement to furnish verification of compliance may be satisfied by receipt by the department of such verification from the agency which administers the assessment and driver safety plan program.
343.30(1q)(c)1m.
1m. The person may voluntarily submit to an assessment by an approved public treatment facility, as defined in
s. 51.45 (2) (c), and driver safety plan under this paragraph before the conviction. A prosecutor may not use that voluntary submission to justify a reduction in the charge made against the person. Upon notification of the person's submission to the voluntary assessment and driver safety plan, the court may take that voluntary submission into account when determining the person's sentence, and shall suspend the order to submit to assessment pending the person's completion of the voluntary assessment and driver safety plan.
343.30(1q)(c)2.
2. The department of health services shall establish standards for assessment procedures and the driver safety plan programs by rule. The department of health services shall establish by rule conflict of interest guidelines for providers.
343.30(1q)(c)3.
3. Prior to developing a plan which specifies treatment, the facility shall make a finding that treatment is necessary and appropriate services are available. The facility shall submit a report of the assessment and the driver safety plan within 14 days to the county department under
s. 51.42, the plan provider, the department of transportation and the person, except that upon request by the facility and the person, the county department may extend the period for assessment for not more than 20 additional workdays. The county department shall notify the department of transportation regarding any such extension.
343.30(1q)(d)
(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, 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.
343.30(1q)(e)
(e) Notwithstanding
par. (c), if the court finds that the person is already covered by an assessment or is participating in a driver safety plan or has had evidence presented to it by a county department under
s. 51.42 that the person has recently completed assessment, a driver safety plan or both, the court is not required to make an order under
par. (c). This paragraph does not prohibit the court from making an order under
par. (c), if it deems such an order advisable.
343.30(1q)(f)
(f) The department may make any order which the court is authorized or required to make under this subsection if the court fails to do so.
343.30(1q)(h)
(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 may modify an occupational license authorized under
s. 343.305 (8) (d) in accordance with this subsection.
343.30(1r)
(1r) For any revocation the court orders under
sub. (1q), the court shall extend the revocation period by the number of days to which the court sentences the person to imprisonment in a jail or prison for an offense related to the refusal.
343.30(1z)
(1z) If a court imposes a driver improvement surcharge under
s. 346.655 and the person fails to pay the surcharge within 60 days after the date by which the court ordered the surcharge to be paid, the court may suspend the person's operating privilege until the person pays the surcharge, except that the suspension period may not exceed 2 years.
343.30(2d)
(2d) A court may suspend a person's operating privilege upon conviction of any offense specified under
ss. 940.225,
948.02,
948.025,
948.07, or
948.085, if the court finds that it is inimical to the public safety and welfare for the offender to have operating privileges. The suspension shall be for one year or until discharge from prison or jail sentence or probation, extended supervision or parole with respect to the offenses specified, whichever date is later. Receipt of a certificate of discharge from the department of corrections or other responsible supervising agency, after one year has elapsed since the suspension, entitles the holder to reinstatement of operating privileges. The holder may be required to present the certificate to the secretary if the secretary deems necessary.
343.30(2g)
(2g) A court may suspend or revoke a person's operating privilege for any period not exceeding one year upon conviction of that person for violating
s. 346.67,
346.68 or
346.69. This subsection does not apply to circumstances that require the department to revoke a person's operating privilege under
s. 343.31 (1) (d) or
(3) (i) or
(j).
343.30(2j)(a)(a) A court may revoke a person's operating privilege upon the person's first conviction for violating
s. 346.44 or
346.62 (2m) and shall revoke a person's operating privilege upon the person's 2nd or subsequent conviction within a 5-year period for violating
s. 346.44 or
346.62 (2m). The revocation shall be for a period of 6 months. For purposes of determining prior convictions for purposes of this paragraph, the 5-year period shall be measured from the dates of the violations that resulted in the convictions. Each conviction under
s. 346.44 or
346.62 (2m) shall be counted, except that convictions under
s. 346.44 and
346.62 (2m) arising out of the same incident or occurrence shall be counted as a single conviction.
343.30(3)
(3) The court that ordered the issuance of an occupational license under
s. 343.10 (4) (b) may withdraw the order to issue the license whenever the court, upon the facts, does not see fit to permit the licensee to retain the occupational license. Upon receiving notice that a court has withdrawn its order to issue an occupational license, the department shall cancel that license.
343.30(4)
(4) Whenever a court suspends or revokes an operating privilege under this section, the court may take possession of any suspended or revoked license. If the court takes possession of a license, it shall destroy the license. The court shall forward, as provided in
s. 345.48, to the department the record of conviction and notice of suspension or revocation. Whenever a court restricts the operating privilege of a person, the court shall forward notice of the restriction to the department.
343.30(5)
(5) No court may suspend or revoke an operating privilege except as authorized by this chapter or
ch. 345,
351 or
938 or
s. 767.73,
800.095 (1) (a),
943.21 (3m), or
961.50. When a court revokes, suspends or restricts a juvenile's operating privilege under
ch. 938, the department of transportation shall not disclose information concerning or relating to the revocation, suspension or restriction to any person other than a court, district attorney, county corporation counsel, city, village or town attorney, law enforcement agency, or the minor whose operating privilege is revoked, suspended or restricted, or his or her parent or guardian. Persons entitled to receive this information shall not disclose the information to other persons or agencies.

Installation of ignition interlock device. 343.301(1g)(1g) A court shall order a person's operating privilege for the operation of "Class D" vehicles be restricted to operating vehicles that are equipped with an ignition interlock device and, except as provided in
sub. (1m), shall order that each motor vehicle for which the person's name appears on the vehicle's certificate of title or registration be equipped with an ignition interlock device if either of the following applies:
343.301(1g)(b)1.
1. The person had an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more at the time of the offense.
343.301(1g)(b)2.
2. The person has a total of one or more prior convictions, suspensions, or revocations, counting convictions under
ss. 940.09 (1) and
940.25 in the person's lifetime and other convictions, suspensions, and revocations counted under
s. 343.307 (1).
343.301(1m)
(1m) If equipping each motor vehicle with an ignition interlock device under
sub. (1g) would cause an undue financial hardship, the court may order that one or more vehicles described
sub. (1g) not be equipped with an ignition interlock device.
343.301(2m)
(2m) The court shall restrict the operating privilege under
sub. (1g) for a period of not less than one year nor more than the maximum operating privilege revocation period permitted for the refusal or violation, beginning on the date the department issues any license granted under this chapter, except that if the maximum operating privilege revocation period is less than one year, the court shall restrict the operating privilege under
sub. (1g) for one year. The court may order the installation of an ignition interlock device under
sub. (1g) immediately upon issuing an order under
sub. (1g).
343.301(3)(a)(a) Except as provided in
par. (b), if the court enters an order under

sub. (1g) applies violates that order if he or she fails to have an ignition interlock device installed as ordered, removes or disconnects an ignition interlock device, requests or permits another to blow into an ignition interlock device or to start a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device for the purpose of providing the person an operable motor vehicle without the necessity of first submitting a sample of his or her breath to analysis by the ignition interlock device, or otherwise tampers with or circumvents the operation of the ignition interlock device.
343.301(5)
(5) If the court enters an order under

Preliminary breath screening test. If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe 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
940.25 or
s. 940.09 where the offense involved the use of a vehicle, or if the officer detects any presence of alcohol, a controlled substance, controlled substance analog or other drug, or a combination thereof, on a person driving or operating or on duty time with respect to a commercial motor vehicle or 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. The result of this preliminary breath screening test 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). The result of the preliminary breath screening test shall not be 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 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). The general penalty provision under
s. 939.61 (1) does not apply to a refusal to take a preliminary breath screening test.

Blood may be drawn in a search incident to an arrest for a non-drunk-driving offense if the police reasonably suspect that the defendant's blood contains evidence of a crime. This section does not prohibit the consideration of a suspect's refusal to submit to a PBT for purposes of determining whether a warrantless involuntary draw of the suspect's blood was supported by reasonable suspicion.

Under State v. St. George, 2002 WI 50, for a defendant to establish a constitutional right to the admissibility of proffered expert testimony, the defendant must satisfy a two-part inquiry determining whether the evidence is clearly central to the defense and the exclusion of the evidence is arbitrary and disproportionate to the purpose of the rule of exclusion, so that exclusion undermines fundamental elements of the defendant's defense. In an OWI prosecution, even if a defendant establishes a constitutional right to present an expert opinion that is based in part on PBT results, the right to do so is outweighed by the state's compelling interest to exclude that evidence.

(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 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, 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) (ar) or
(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),
(am), or
(ar), and may designate which of the tests shall be administered first.
343.305(3)(a)(a) Upon arrest of a person for violation of
s. 346.63 (1),
(2m) or
(5) or a local ordinance in conformity therewith, or for a violation of
s. 346.63 (2) or
(6) or
940.25, or
s. 940.09 where the offense involved the use of a vehicle, or upon arrest subsequent to a refusal under
par. (ar), 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). Compliance with a request for one type of sample does not bar a subsequent request for a different type of sample.
343.305(3)(am)
(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, 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).
343.305(3)(ar)1.1. If a person is the operator of a vehicle that is involved in an accident that causes substantial bodily harm, as defined in
s. 939.22 (38), to any person, and a law enforcement officer detects any presence of alcohol, a controlled substance, a controlled substance analog or other drug, or a combination thereof, the law enforcement officer may request the operator to provide one or more samples of his or her breath, blood, or urine for the purpose specified under
sub. (2). Compliance with a request for one type of sample does not bar a subsequent request for a different type of sample. A person who is unconscious or otherwise not capable of withdrawing consent is presumed not to have withdrawn consent under this subdivision and one or more samples specified in
par. (a) or
(am) may be administered to the person. If a person refuses to take a test under this subdivision, he or she may be arrested under
par. (a).
343.305(3)(ar)2.
2. If a person is the operator of a vehicle that is involved in an accident that causes the death of or great bodily harm to any person and the law enforcement officer has reason to believe that the person violated any state or local traffic law, the officer may request the operator to provide one or more samples of his or her breath, blood, or urine for the purpose specified under
sub. (2). Compliance with a request for one type of sample does not bar a subsequent request for a different type of sample. A person who is unconscious or otherwise not capable of withdrawing consent is presumed not to have withdrawn consent under this subdivision and one or more samples specified in
par. (a) or
(am) may be administered to the person. If a person refuses to take a test under this subdivision, he or she may be arrested under
par. (a).
343.305(3)(b)
(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, 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 specified in
par. (a) or
(am) may be administered to the person.
343.305(3)(c)
(c) This section does not limit the right of a law enforcement officer to obtain evidence by any other lawful means.
343.305(4)
(4) Information. At the time that a chemical test specimen is requested under
sub. (3) (a),
(am), or
(ar), the law enforcement officer shall read the following to the person from whom the test specimen is requested:
"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, or you are the operator of a vehicle that was involved in an accident that caused the death of, great bodily harm to, or substantial bodily harm to a person, or you are suspected of driving or being on duty time with respect to a commercial motor vehicle after consuming an intoxicating beverage.
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 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.
If you take all 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.
