What it does
Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is required to suspend the driver’s license of a person who, upon conviction of violating a law regulating the operation of a motor vehicle, has failed to timely pay the criminal fine, penalty, surcharge, or court costs. The clerk of the district court must mail notice to a person who has failed to pay the required court debts and provide days for the person to make the payment. If payment is not received, the clerk of the district court must notify the DOT to initiate the suspension.
