What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, any group or organization may apply to the Department of Transportation (DOT) for designation as an authorized special group. If the application is approved, members of the authorized special group may obtain special distinguishing registration plates for certain vehicles, including automobiles and motor homes, that are owned or leased by special group members. A fee, in addition to the regular registration fee for the particular kind of vehicle, is charged for the issuance or reissuance of most special plates.
Before October 2, 1998, authorized special groups whose members may obtain special plates were specifically enumerated in state law. With certain exceptions, current law provides that specific enumeration in state law of authorized special groups is limited to those special groups enumerated before October 2, 1998.

This bill establishes an authorized special group specifically enumerated in state law for persons interested in obtaining special plates supporting the Lions Clubs of Wisconsin. In addition to the regular vehicle registration fee, special group members are required to pay a $15 fee for issuance or reissuance of the special plates and a $25 annual fee that provides funds to the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc.
The bill requires DOT to enter into an agreement with the Lions of Wisconsin, Multiple District 27, of the International Association of Lions Clubs, Inc., and the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc., with respect to these funds, and the agreement must provide DOT with authority, without fee to DOT, to use any applicable trademark or service mark associated with the Lions Clubs on these special plates.
The bill requires the special plates to display a logo or image of the lion associated with the Lions Clubs International.
