What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain special group motor vehicle registration plates

issued by the Department of Transportation are discontinued if, at certain intervals,

DOT receives fewer than 500 applications for registration renewal for vehicles for

which these special plates were issued. Current law requires DOT to assess the

sufficiency of the number of applications every three years. Special group plates

affected by this requirement are plates expressing support for Midwest Athletes

Against Childhood Cancer, Boy Scouts of America, Whitetails Unlimited, Wisconsin

Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and the nursing profession.

Under this bill, DOT may not discontinue a special plate for failure to maintain

a sufficient number of applications if the number of applications for the plate was less

than 500 in 2020, but greater than 500 in 2021.
