What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a veteran of the U.S. armed forces may elect to indicate his

or her veteran status on his or her Wisconsin operator's license or identification card.

“Veteran" is a defined term that includes individuals who have served a specified

period of active duty in the U.S. armed forces.

This bill creates a definition of “veteran" that includes any current or former

member of the U.S. armed forces, a reserve unit of the U.S. armed forces, or the

national guard for the purpose of enabling such a person to indicate on his or her

operator's license or identification card that he or she is a veteran.
