Section 102.11. Prorated fees.

  To maintain the existing license renewal cycle when upgrading a valid license, the department shall prorate the statutory fees under s. 343.21 (1) (a) , (b) and (d) , Stats., required to be paid to the department to upgrade a license.

(1)   Upgraded license. If a license is upgraded by adding class A, B, C, D or M privileges to an existing operator's license, the following apply to determine the applicable fee under s. 343.21 (1) (a) , (b) or (d) , Stats.:

(a) When 365 days or more remain on the existing license, the license holder shall pay the prorated fee for the upgraded license determined by the department as follows:

1. Multiply the number of days remaining on the existing license from the date of application by the statutory fee and divide by 2920. The number of days include the day of expiration, but not the day of application.

2. Round the resulting quotient to the nearest whole dollar amount. The license upgraded for this fee shall expire on the expiration date of the existing license or on the date that the person's legal presence in the United States is no longer authorized, whichever occurs sooner.

(b) When more than 90 but less than 365 days remain on the existing license, the license holder may do either of the following:

1. Pay the prorated fee as determined under par. (a) . The license upgraded for this fee shall expire on the expiration date of the existing license or on the date that the person's legal presence in the United States is no longer authorized, whichever occurs sooner.

2. Pay the prorated fee as determined under par. (a) and the statutory fee. The license upgraded for this fee shall expire 8 years from the expiration date of the existing license or on the date that the person's legal presence in the United States is no longer authorized, whichever occurs sooner.

(c) When 90 days or less remain on the existing license, the license holder shall pay the prorated fee as determined under par. (a) and the statutory fee. The license upgraded for this fee shall expire 8 years from the expiration date of the existing license or on the date that the person's legal presence in the United States is no longer authorized, whichever occurs sooner.

(2)   Manual calculation. Notwithstanding sub. (1) (a) , if the automated processing system is not available, the prorated fee shall be determined by the department by multiplying the number of months remaining on the existing license from the date of application by the statutory fee and dividing by 96. The number of months include the month of expiration, but not the month of application. The resulting quotient is rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount.
