25.40 (1) (a) 3., 84.59 (2) (b), 341.147 (2), 341.25 (1) (gd) and 341.25 (1) (ge);
to
3
create
341.147 (1) (a), 341.147 (1) (b), 341.147 (1) (c) and 341.147 (1m) of the
4
statutes;
relating to:
fleet registration of certain motor vehicles.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an owner of a fleet of 10 or more automobiles or motor trucks with a gross weight of not more than 8,000 pounds may register the vehicles as a fleet. This bill allows 10 or more of any combination of the following, with some exceptions, to be registered as a fleet:
1. Motor trucks with a gross weight of between 8,001 and 54,000 pounds.
2. Truck tractors or road tractors with a gross weight of between 4,500 and 54,000 pounds.
3. Trailers with a gross weight of not more than 80,000 pounds.
Vehicles registered as a fleet are subject to the same annual registration fee as regularly applies to the type of vehicle, plus a onetime initial issuance fee of $8.50 for each vehicle. The Department of Transportation must provide, to the extent feasible, all vehicles registered as part of a particular fleet with the same registration expiration date.
Under current law, for fleet vehicles DOT must issue registration plates of a distinctive design with the word “Fleet” embossed on the plate. The bill eliminates the requirement that the word be embossed.
The bill also eliminates a provision in current law allowing for fleet registration of a fleet of 100 or more trailers.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
