Relating to: correction bill for 2025 Wisconsin Act 15 and making an appropriation.
SB 390 adds a $6 fee for new vehicle registration plates (excluding replacements) effective October 1, 2025, on top of existing registration fees. This affects all vehicle owners purchasing new plates, as the fee applies to all new plate issuances starting that date. The bill also increases a $2.6 million appropriation for Wisconsin's public protective services hearing protection program under section 85.65. These changes correct and clarify provisions in 2025 Wisconsin Act 15 related to vehicle registration fees.
