§ 63-16-9 - Compliance with Motor Vehicle Safety-Responsibility Law required before receiving or renewing motor vehicle registration; maintenance of continuous coverage throughout registration period [Effective July 1, 2013; repealed effective July 1, 2018]

Every owner of a motor vehicle in this state shall comply with the motor vehicle liability insurance coverage in at least the minimum amounts required under Section 63-15-3(j) before that owner may receive a registration for a motor vehicle or renew a registration. The owner must also maintain continuous coverage in at least the minimum amounts required under Section 63-15-3(j) throughout the registration period. The verification system shall be used at registration to determine compliance with this section and the response received from the system supersedes an insurance card produced by a motor vehicle owner or operator, and notwithstanding the display of an insurance card by the owner or operator, the owner shall be denied a registration for a motor vehicle or renewal of a registration based on the verification system's response of noncompliance. The Department of Revenue must make the verification system available to the tax collector through its title/registration network system. If the owner is applying for the initial registration of a motor vehicle, then the owner may be granted a registration notwithstanding the response received from the verification system.
