What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, as created in 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 (the Biennial Budget Act), the Department of Transportation (DOT) must provide in each county, directly or by contract, at least 20 hours per week of services relating to operator's licenses and identification cards. DOT must provide these services by the most cost-effective means possible, which may include contracting with counties or other local governments to provide these services.
This bill requires DOT to collaborate with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, American Civil Liberties Union, and UMOS in Milwaukee County to establish community outreach locations where DOT provides services relating to operator's licenses and identification cards.
