Explanation of Assembly Bill 201 in Layman's Terms

This bill is about increasing penalties for certain traffic violations in Wisconsin. It includes things like making drivers attend a course about right-of-way rules and increasing fines for violations that result in harm or death to others.

Here are some key points:

If a driver commits certain violations and it results in great bodily harm or death to someone else, they may face higher fines and a suspension of their driving privileges.
Drivers who fail to complete a right-of-way course within six months may have their driving privileges suspended until they finish the course.
The bill also specifies new fines for different violations, with higher penalties for those that result in harm to others.

Overall, the aim of this bill is to encourage safer driving practices and hold those who cause harm on the road accountable for their actions.

Rep. Joe Sanfelippo
