AB 226

Under current law, as created in

2011 Wisconsin Act 23

, the Department of

Transportation (DOT) may not charge a fee to an applicant for the initial issuance,

renewal, or reinstatement of an identification card if the applicant is a U.S. citizen

who will be at least 18 years of age on the date of the next election and the applicant

requests that the identification card be provided without charge for purposes of

voting.

This bill requires DOT to include, on application forms for identification cards,

a statement that there is no fee for the initial issuance, renewal, or reinstatement

of an identification card if the applicant is a U.S. citizen who will be at least 18 years

of age on the date of the next election and the applicant requests that the

identification card be provided without charge for purposes of voting. In addition,

DOT must advise any person inquiring about issuance of an identification card that

identification cards may be available without charge for purposes of voting.
