4-4-23 evers signs reckless driving impound bill

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has signed a Republican-authored bill that would allow local governments to impound repeat reckless drivers’ vehicles. Evers announced Monday that he had signed the measure into law. The bill is part of a Republican push to crack down on reckless driving around the state but particularly in Milwaukee. Written remarks from bill sponsor Rep. Bob Donovan state that the Milwaukee Police Department issued 497 citations for reckless driving in 2022. That’s up 32% from 2021. The bill is the first measure Evers has signed into law since the 2023-25 legislative session began in January.
