What’s in it

Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) or a county treasurer is required to refuse registration and issuance of a certificate of title or transfer of title for a motor vehicle if, among other reasons, the registration of the vehicle stands suspended or revoked for any reason as provided in the motor vehicle laws of this state. The DOT is required to suspend a vehicle registration for a variety of reasons.5, the DOT must suspend a registration within days after receiving a report of a motor vehicle accident within this state which resulted in bodily injury to, death of, or damage to the property in the amount of $1,500 or more of, any one person.

Read the full explanation

17, the DOT is required to suspend the registration of a person who is convicted for a violation of Code chapter 321J (operating while intoxicated), whose driver’s license was suspended or revoked, or who forfeits bail after operating while intoxicated. The registration remains suspended until the person gives and maintains proof of financial responsibility. The proof of financial responsibility must include one of a list of options, including form SR-22, pursuant to the DOT’s administrative rules.17, as applicable. A person who operates any motor vehicle upon the highways if the certificate of title has been canceled, or while the registration is suspended or revoked, commits a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $135.
