CR 07-065: cr. Register December 2007 No. 624, eff. 1-1-08.

No. 15, the license number of the vehicle involved, is required to be included in notices of judgment by s. 345.47(1) (d), Stats., but is not needed for any administrative purpose. Under s. 341.10(7), Stats., all of a debtor's vehicle registrations must be suspended regardless of which vehicle was used in the matter leading to the judgment. Accordingly, identification of that person is essential, but individual license plate numbers are not. Therefore the license number is not required for such cases under this rule making. No. 19, the means by which a citation may be contested, is required by s. 345.28(4) (b) 1, Stats., but is not used for any administrative purpose. The requirement is therefore listed as optional and cases will be processed without that information.
