SB 795 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: caregiver records maintained by the Department of Transportation. (FE)

SB 795 requires the Department of Transportation to ask license and ID card applicants if they want to voluntarily provide contact information for up to three people they care for as primary caregivers. The bill creates a system where this information is stored in the applicant's file and can be electronically accessed by law enforcement agencies that reasonably identify a person. It does not change existing requirements but adds this optional caregiver contact field to applications, with strict limits on who can access the data (only the applicant or law enforcement under defined conditions). The bill directly affects individuals applying for driver's licenses or state ID cards who choose to share caregiver contacts.
