WI SB455

Persons with 4+ OWI convictions whose operating privileges have been permanently revoked become eligible for an occupational license after 180 days of the revocation period have elapsed

Occupational licenses issued under this provision must restrict the person to operating only vehicles equipped with a functioning ignition interlock device

Applicants must complete a required assessment and comply with a court-ordered driver safety plan to qualify for the occupational license

After 10 years of the revocation period, the person may apply for full reinstatement of driving privileges

Current law prohibits persons with 4+ OWI convictions from obtaining any occupational license; this bill creates a new pathway to limited driving privileges
