Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) All of the
provisions of this article shall apply to any person who is not a resident of this state, and if such
nonresident has been convicted of an offense which would require the suspension or revocation
of the license of a resident, or if such nonresident has failed to satisfy a judgment within thirty
days after the same became final which would require suspension or revocation under this article
in respect to a resident, then in either such event such nonresident shall not operate any motor
vehicle in this state, and the director shall not issue to such nonresident any license unless and
until such nonresident gives proof of financial responsibility and satisfies any such judgment as
is required with respect to a resident of this state.
(2) The director shall transmit a certified copy of any record of any such conviction of a
nonresident to the motor vehicle commissioner or state officer performing the functions of a
commissioner in the state in which such nonresident resides and shall likewise forward to such
officer a certified record of any unsatisfied judgment rendered against such nonresident which
requires suspension of such nonresident's driving privileges in this state.
(3) When a nonresident's operating privilege is suspended pursuant to section 42-7-301,
the director shall transmit a certified copy of the record of such action to the official in charge of
the issuance of licenses in the state in which such nonresident resides, if the law of such other
state provides for action in relation thereto similar to that provided for in subsection (4) of this
section.
(4) Upon receipt of certification that the operating privilege of a resident of this state has
been suspended or revoked in any such other state pursuant to a law providing for its suspension
or revocation for failure to deposit security for the payment of judgments arising out of a motor
vehicle accident or for failure to deposit security and furnish a statement evidencing that the
resident is insured under an automobile liability insurance policy or bond or for failure to file
and maintain proof of financial responsibility, under circumstances which would require the
director to suspend a nonresident's operating privilege had the accident occurred in this state, the
director shall suspend the license of such resident. Such suspension shall continue until such
resident furnishes evidence of compliance with the law of such other state relating to the deposit
of such security and until such resident furnishes the statement evidencing automobile liability
insurance or a bond, or, as the case may be, files proof of financial responsibility, if required by
such law.
