    Wisconsin Transportation Fund Amendment (2014) Case Study

    Wisconsin Transportation Fund Amendment (2014) Case Study Title of Ballot Measure: Question 1: Creation of a Transportation Fund Type: Senate Joint Resolution 23/Assembly Joint Resolution 2 Election Cycle: November 4, 2014 Status of Amendment: Passed NOV 4 2014 ELECTION RESULTS Wisconsin Question 1 FOR 80% AGAINST 20% Summary of Legislation The Wisconsin Transportation Fund Amendment was put on the November 4, 2014 ballot to ensure that revenue generated from transportation-related fees and taxes would be protected from diversion to non-transportation programs outside of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s jurisdiction. Wisconsin requires statewide ballot measures be approved by both houses in two consecutive Legislative sessions in order to be put before voters. A constitutionally-protected transportation fund was first presented as Senate Joint Resolution 23 by 36 bipartisan sponsors, and was voted upon on by both houses on May 17, 2011. It passed the Senate May 17, 2011 by a vote of 26-6, and was subsequently approved the Assembly the same day with a vote of 82-11. Senate Votes Noes: Assembly Votes May 17, 2011 11 May 17, 2011 (12%) Noes: 6 (19%) Ayes: 26 Ayes: 82 (81%) (88%) The proposed amendment was next presented as Assembly Joint Resolution 23 in 2013 by 41 sponsors. It was voted upon by the Assembly on February 14, 2013, passing 82-13 before being sent to the Senate, where it was passed on February 20 25-8.

    Wisconsin State Legislature Decreases License Suspension for Non Safety-Related Monetary Judgements

    For Immediate Release: February 18, 2016 Contact: Nichole Yunk Todd, 414-343-3581, [email protected] WISCONSIN STATE LEGISLATURE DECREASES LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR NON SAFETY-RELATED MONETARY JUDGEMENTS Madison, WI – Today, the Wisconsin State Assembly approved a bipartisan measure that will change the maximum length of a driver’s license suspension for failure to pay a forfeiture (“FPF”) from two years to one. The bill passed in the state senate earlier this month and is now headed to Governor Walker. According to Wisconsin Department of Transportation data, FPF suspensions represent nearly 60% of all reasons for license suspension or revocation in the state at over 235,000. The second highest category is only 12%. Two-year FPF suspensions are longer than many safety-related suspensions, including first and second offense Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), reckless driving, and the accumulation of over 31 demerit points within just one year. The courts will still collect what they are owed as defendants who have monetary judgements earn income. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue collected over $21 million dollars for the courts in 2014 through its efficient Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP). The authors of the bill include Senators Jerry Petrowski (R-Marathon) and Nikiya Harris Dodd (D- Milwaukee) and Representatives John Spiros (R-Marshfield) and Cory Mason (D- Racine). Senator Petrowski championed the effort: “This common sense bill will help make sure people can get to work so they can pay their debts and continue to support themselves and their families.” The bill was also endorsed by key system stakeholders as a way to better focus our limited resources, including the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, Wisconsin Trial Judges Association, Wisconsin District Attorneys Association, Wisconsin Public Defender, and Wisconsin Insurance Alliance.

Many of these bills originated as recommendations from WMC members who serve on our various policy committees and were developed by our in-house team of attorneys and policy experts. is report outlines the results of our lobbying effort on the most signiMcant business legislation of the session.
