According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "fleet registration of certain motor vehicles. (FE)".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill revises the requirements for fleet registration of certain motor vehicles in Wisconsin. It allows owners to register a fleet consisting of 10 or more vehicles that include combinations of motor trucks weighing between 8,001 and 54,000 pounds, truck tractors or road tractors weighing between 4,500 and 54,000 pounds, and trailers weighing up to 80,000 pounds. The standard annual registration fee applies, along with a onetime $8.50 fee for each vehicle. The bill removes the requirement for the word "Fleet" to be embossed on fleet registration plates and eliminates an option for registering a fleet of 100 or more trailers. This law takes effect on the first day of the 10th month after its publication.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Rob Hutton (Republican-5th District), Representative Nate L. Gustafson (Republican-55th District), Representative Alex R. Joers (Democrat-81st District), Representative Daniel Knodl (Republican-24th District), Representative Dave Maxey (Republican-83rd District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District) and Senator Cory Tomczyk (Republican-29th District), along three other co-sponsors.
Barbara Dittrich has authored or co-authored another 175 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with all of them being adopted.
Dittrich, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 99th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Cindi Duchow.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
