SB 65 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: impoundment of vehicles used in certain reckless driving offenses. (FE)

SB 65 clarifies legal terminology for vehicle impoundment in reckless driving cases by changing "citation" to "citation charge" in the law and adding "or making an arrest" to the arrest process. It does not alter penalties, enforcement procedures, or eligibility for impoundment. The bill directly affects law enforcement officers issuing citations and drivers cited for reckless driving under current impoundment rules. This is a procedural adjustment to existing legal language, not a substantive policy change.
