§ 516-b. Reciprocal   agreements   concerning   reporting  of  traffic

convictions  for  traffic  offenses  occurring in each state by a person
licensed in, or a resident of, the other  state  to  such  licensing  or
residence  state and the treating of any such reported conviction in the
same manner as if the conviction occurred in the licensing or  residence
state  for  the  purpose  of  administrative action. Any such compact or
agreement  shall  specify  the  offenses  subject  to  the  compact   or
agreement,  and  shall include a determination of comparable offenses in
each state if any such offenses are of a  substantially  similar  nature
but are not denominated or described in precisely the same words in each
party state.

territory, a possession of the United States, District  of  Columbia  or
any province of Canada.
  (c)  Traffic  offenses which may be subject to a reciprocal compact or
agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall be limited to  the
follwing types of offenses in this state and equivalent offenses in each
party state:
  (1)  Manslaughter,  criminally  negligent homicide and assault arising
from the operation of a motor vehicle;
  (2) Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol  or

  (4)  Leaving  the scene of a personal injury or fatal incident without
reporting;
  (5) Any speeding offense;
  (6) Any offense consisting of disobeying any traffic control device;

  (d)  Nothing  in  this  section  shall  be  construed  to prohibit the
reporting or recording of convictions  or  youthful  offender  or  other
juvenile adjudications other than those included in a reciprocal compact
or  agreement  executed pursuant to this section when the laws of either
state require or permit action to be taken or sanctions to be imposed on
the basis of such convictions or youthful  offender  or  other  juvenile
adjudications.
