Senate Bill 63 proposes to enact the Driver License Compact (DLC) into Wisconsin law, establishing a framework for the treatment and exchange of driver licensing and conviction information among participating states. The DLC aims to enhance road safety by ensuring that violations related to motor vehicle operation are recognized across state lines, allowing for administrative actions such as license suspension or revocation to be enforced uniformly. The bill outlines the responsibilities of licensing authorities in reporting convictions and the effects of those convictions on a driver's license status, emphasizing the importance of compliance with motor vehicle laws.
The bill includes specific provisions regarding the definitions of key terms, the reporting of convictions, and the conditions under which a license may be issued or denied based on prior violations in other states. It also allows for the compact to be administered by designated officials from each participating state, facilitating the exchange of necessary information. Additionally, the compact includes clauses on entry into force, withdrawal procedures, and the severability of its provisions, ensuring that the compact remains effective even if parts of it are challenged legally.
