6/20/06-Gov. Jim Doyle signed a bill into law that increases the maximum $500 fines and/or six months’ jail time imposed on people caught driving without a valid driver’s license. The new rule already is in effect.
Previously SB626, the new law allows for revoked or suspended drivers who cause damage to another person’s property to face $10,000 fines and/or nine months’ imprisonment. Those drivers who cause injuries while behind the wheel will face up to $10,000 fines and/or six years in prison. Drivers who cause someone’s death will face $25,000 fines and/or 10 years behind bars.
