Under a bill that awaits Gov. Scott Walker's signature, those convicted of 4 or more OWI-related offenses will lose their license for life.

The bill authored by State Sen. Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) and State Rep. John Spiros (R-Marshfield) passed the senate in Nov. 2017 on a unanimous vote and passed the Assembly easier this month.

Here's a simple breakdown of the measures that would go into effect if the bill is passed into law:

  • Individuals will permanently lose their driving privileges if they are convicted of four OWI-Related offenses during their lifetime.
  • Four-time offenders will not be eligible for an occupational licenses, but can apply for reinstatement after ten years if they maintain a clean criminal record during that time.

Wanggaard's office says that the State Senate will agree to the Assembly amendment in March, sending the bill to Governor Walker's desk.
