Assembly Bill 72 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. It establishes that when a driver licensed in one state commits a violation in another participating state, the home state will take appropriate administrative action based on the information provided by the state where the violation occurred.

The bill includes several key provisions, such as the requirement for licensing authorities to report convictions to the home state, the effect of those convictions on licensing actions, and the process for applying for new licenses. It also allows for the withdrawal from the compact under specified conditions and emphasizes that the compact's provisions should be liberally construed to achieve its intended purposes. Overall, the bill aims to enhance road safety and ensure equitable treatment of drivers across states by promoting compliance with motor vehicle laws.
