|---|
| 11 | + | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 12 | + | Current law provides that a driver school may not be established within 1,500 |
|---|
| 13 | + | feet of a Department of Transportation office where operator's licenses are issued or |
|---|
| 14 | + | official driving skills tests are given. This bill eliminates that prohibition. |
|---|
| 15 | + | Current Department of Transportation administrative rules prohibit a driver |
|---|
| 16 | + | school from soliciting business within 1,500 feet of a DOT office where operator's |
|---|
| 17 | + | driving skills tests are given. This prohibition does not apply if the municipality |
|---|
| 18 | + | where the DOT office is located has a population less than 10,000 and the business |
|---|
| 19 | + | district in which the DOT office is located is less than 1,500 feet long. This bill |
|---|
| 20 | + | modifies that exception to provide that the prohibition does not apply if the |
|---|
| 21 | + | municipality where the DOT office is located has a population less than 15,000 and |
|---|
| 22 | + | eliminates any requirement relating to the size of the business district were the DOT |
|---|
| 23 | + | office is located. |
|---|
| 24 | + | The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do |
|---|
