Wisconsin does not have a b-card restreiction per se, However, consequences of additional OWI offenses are equally severe. On a third and subsequent OWI / DUI - related conviction in Wisconsin, a judge may order seizure of the vehicle used in the offense and owned by the person who committed the offense. On a third and subsequent OWI / DUI - related conviction, a person who owns a vehicle that is subject to seizure must surrender the title to the vehicle involved in the offense to the clerk of courts to be stamped "Per section 346.65(6) of the Wisconsin statutes, ownership of this motor vehicle may not be transferred without prior court approval." This is similar to having special series plates in Minnsota. The title will be stamped and returned to the owner. Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) can be ordered as a license restriction on second and subsequent OUI / DUI offenses or for a refusal of a chemical test under the implied consent law. Unlike vehicle seizure, Ignition Interlock Devices are tied to a person's operating privilege rather than to a particular vehicle.
