The Wisconsin state Assembly held a hearing on Tuesday night about toughening Wisconsin laws for intoxicated operation of snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and boats, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Currently, if convicted of driving a snowmobile over the blood alcohol level of .08% pays $600 in fines and court costs but it is not attached to their drivers license.For the second offense within five years of any drunken recreational driving offenders would face a fine up to $1,100, jail time of five days to one year, suspension of recreational vehicle operating privileges and revocation of their regular drivers license for six to 12 months.
A citation for one type of drunken recreational driving would count against another type of recreational vehicle. The Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs is backing the proposed bill. Minnesota and Michigan laws link drunken recreational driving citations with motor vehicle licenses.
