343.39 When operating privilege automatically reinstated.
(1) An operating privilege is automatically reinstated under any of the following circumstances:
(b) When, in the case of a revocation, suspension, or disqualification based on a conviction, the conviction is reversed, set aside or vacated. This paragraph applies whether or not the conviction occurred in this state and whether or not the conviction was cause for revocation, suspension, or disqualification only when considered in connection with the person's entire operating record.
(c) Whenever any other provision of law provides for automatic reinstatement.
(2) Whenever a person's operating privilege is automatically reinstated, the department shall forthwith notify such person thereof. If the person's license is expired, the person may renew the license at the standard renewal fee at any time after the reinstatement of the person's operating privilege. If the person states to the department that he or she no longer possesses the license because the license was surrendered to a court, and the person has satisfied all requirements under sub. (1), the department shall issue a new license without any additional fee for the license.
