Senate Bill 63 proposes to enact Wisconsin's participation in the Driver License Compact (DLC), which aims to standardize the treatment and exchange of driver licensing and conviction information among participating states. The bill outlines the responsibilities of each state regarding the recognition of violations related to motor vehicle operation, including the administrative actions taken in response to such violations, such as license suspension or revocation. The compact emphasizes the importance of compliance with motor vehicle laws and establishes a framework for reporting convictions and the effects of those convictions on licensing.
The bill includes specific provisions detailing the definitions of key terms, the reporting process for convictions, and the conditions under which a state may deny a driver's license application based on prior violations in other states. It also allows for the withdrawal from the compact under certain conditions while ensuring that prior convictions remain valid. The compact is designed to enhance road safety by promoting accountability among drivers across state lines and ensuring that licensing authorities have access to relevant information regarding a driver's history.
