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 2009 Wisconsin Acts 224 and 226 , persons interested in supporting the Lions Clubs of Wisconsin or motorcycle safety may obtain special registration plates for certain vehicles, including automobiles. These special plates must, respectively, display a logo or image of the lion associated with the Lions Clubs International or display a bar and shield logo associated with Harley-Davidson, Inc., and the words "share the road." An applicant for these special plates must pay a $25 annual fee in addition to the regular vehicle registration fees. The $25 annual fee provides funds to the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc., or for certain motorcycle safety activities, respectively. However, the Department of Transportation (DOT) may not provide funds to the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc., or for these safety activities, until DOT has received $23,700 for the initial costs of production of each of these special plates.
This bill decreases the amount of revenues retained by DOT for the initial costs of production of these special plates, from $23,700 to $6,580 for Lions Club plates and from $23,700 to $16,100 for motorcycle safety plates.
