Section 128.12. Resolution of errors.

 

(1)   Errors identified by person.

(a) If a person notifies the department that a department error has resulted in suspension or refusal of a vehicle's registration, the department shall review its records related to the suspension and conduct such additional investigations as it deems appropriate. If the department concludes as a result of the review and any investigation that refusal or suspension of registration is unwarranted, the department shall modify its records and allow registration for the vehicles to be issued.

(b) If the department does not modify its records and allow registration to be issued under sub. (2) , the department shall direct the person to contact the suspending authority that submitted the order for registration refusal or suspension to the department and have it investigate the matter and, if appropriate, submit a notice of satisfaction to the department in the manner described in s. Trans 128.04 (5) .

(2)   Error identified by suspending authority. To correct an error in a notice of unpaid judgment, unpaid citation or unpaid towing and storage charges associated with a parking citation sent to the department, a suspending authority shall submit a notice of satisfaction to the department as described in s. Trans 128.04 (5) . To establish a correct record, the suspending authority shall submit a new notice of unpaid judgment, unpaid citation or unpaid towing and storage charges associated with a parking citation containing the correct information and fee required by s. Trans 128.05 (13) .
