Bill Summary

This bill enters Wisconsin into the Driver License Compact, which establishes standards for the treatment and exchange of driver licensing and conviction information and other data pertinent to the licensing process. The DLC requires all participating states to recognize certain kinds of violations relating mostly to operating motor vehicles and the administrative actions taken in response to those violations, such as suspension or revocation of a person's operating privilege by the appropriate state agency (DLC code violations). Under the DLC, when a person who is licensed in one state that is a party to the DLC commits a DLC code violation in another party state, the licensing state takes administrative action in response to the violation, based on information provided by the state in which the violation occurred. Any administrative action by a party state is recognized by all other party states. The DLC also generally provides that records concerning a licensed driver are maintained only by the licensing state. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

AI Summary

This bill enters Wisconsin into the Driver License Compact (DLC), which establishes standards for the treatment and exchange of driver licensing and conviction information between participating states. The DLC requires all states to recognize certain kinds of violations and administrative actions, such as license suspension or revocation, taken by other party states. When a person licensed in one DLC state commits a violation in another DLC state, the licensing state takes administrative action based on the information provided. The DLC also generally provides that driver records are maintained only by the licensing state. The bill aims to promote compliance with motor vehicle laws and make the reciprocal recognition of driver's licenses more fair and equitable by considering overall compliance as a condition for license issuance or continuation.
