DALE CATTANACH, Secretary, Department of Transportation
Your predecessor requested my opinion concerning the applicability of the Wisconsin public records statute, sec.19.21, Stats., to certain records received and maintained by the Division of Motor Vehicles. He stated that under ch. 218, applicants for motor vehicle dealers' licenses and applicants for motor vehicle salvage dealer licenses must submit certain financial information to the Division. Your question is whether such financial information is confidential and therefore not subject to inspection and copying by the general public.
