Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to operate examining stations in each county. Also under current law, as created in 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 (the Biennial Budget Act), 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.
Under this bill, each examining station or other location where DOT provides services relating to operator's licenses and identification cards (DMV service center) must remain open all day on each weekday in the 30 days immediately preceding an election and in the three days immediately following an election, until at least 8 p.m.

on the day of the election, and on four successive Saturdays immediately preceding the election. However, this requirement applies only with respect to DMV service centers that are located in the same county where the election is being held.
