Indiana is a part of the Drivers License Compact, which requires member states to inform the state in which a person is licensed about out of state moving violation convictions, while your home state of Wisconsin is not. However, most states will usually report violation convictions back to other states even if they are not part of the DLC.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, they do receive in from out of state courts information on WI licensed drivers and moving violation convictions. The WI DOT notes though that no points are assessed for convictions of traffic offenses from other states but the conviction is entered on your Wisconsin driver record.

It is possible that this IN speeding citation could affect your auto insurance rates since it will be placed on your WI driving record where your insurance company can see it the next time they check your MVR. To find out for certain if it will change your car insurance rates you will need to discuss your company's rating system with your agent since insurance companies' rating systems differ from one insurer to the next.

There is another compact, the Non-Resident Violator Compact (NRVC) that Indiana is part of while again Wisconsin is not. This one requires member states to suspend the license of a driver who does not pay or otherwise comply with a moving violation they received outside of their state. Though WI is not part of this agreement either they likely will take some action against your driving privileges if you ignore the Indiana speeding citation.

The WI DOT in fact states that driving privileges can be withdrawn due to some out of state traffic violations, so failure to appear or comply with an out of state ticket would like cause your WI license to be suspended in both states. You can check with the IN court listed on your citation as well as the Wisconsin DOT to find out for certain what would happen if you do not pay the fine associated with this ticket.
