41-12a-604. Suspension of license.
(1) A person convicted of a class A or a class B misdemeanor under this chapter, in
addition to any other penalties which are imposed by law, shall have his operator's license
suspended by the department.
(2) Whenever any person is convicted of an offense for which this chapter mandates the
suspension of his license or the registration of his motor vehicle, and that person does not produce
proof of owner's or operator's security at the time of his appearance, the court in which the
conviction takes place shall require the surrender to it of all pertinent evidences of registration,
including all registration cards, license plates, nonresident temporary permits, and other similar
materials then held by the person so convicted. This court shall then forward the registration
materials to the Motor Vehicle Division of the State Tax Commission and send the Driver
License Division a record of the conviction. If the person so convicted secures a judgment of
acquittal or reversal of this conviction in any appellate court, the department shall reinstate his
driver license or privilege and the Motor Vehicle Division shall reinstate the registration of his
motor vehicle immediately upon receipt of a certified copy of the judgment of acquittal or
reversal.
(3)If the owner has surrendered the owner's registration materials to the Motor Vehicle
Division, the owner may, unless otherwise prohibited by law, apply for a new registration, by
providing proof of owner's security.
