  • Establishes that when using an insurance policy as proof, the effective date on the financial responsibility certificate is the date financial responsibility was proven

  • Allows license and registration suspension to be avoided if the person files proof of another qualifying policy or bond during the required proof period

  • Directs the Department of Safety to release the proof requirement after the mandated period expires, provided the person had no additional offenses or license actions; this release provision does not apply if there is an unsatisfied motor vehicle accident judgment
