Title 11. Cities and Towns
§11-14-112. Cancellation or denial of driving privileges for noncompliance with municipal court sentence.
A. As used in this section:
1. "Department" means the Department of Public Safety;
2. "Notification form" means a form prescribed by the Department which contains a statement from the court that the person has failed to satisfy the sentence of the court. It shall include the name, date of birth, physical description, and the driver license number, if any, of the person;
3. "Reinstatement form" means a form prescribed by the Department which contains a statement from the court that the person has satisfied the sentence of the court. It shall include sufficient information to identify the person to the Department;
4. "Sentence" means any order of the court to pay a fine, penalty assessment or costs or to carry out a term of community service or other remedial action.
B. When any person under the age of eighteen (18) years fails or refuses to satisfy a sentence of a municipal court, the court shall notify the Department. Upon receipt of the notification form from the court, the Department shall cancel or deny all driving privileges of the person without a hearing until the person satisfies the sentence of the court.
C. When the person fulfills the sentence of the court, the court or court clerk shall provide a reinstatement form to such person either directly or by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the last address given by the person to the court. The driving privileges of a person who furnishes a reinstatement form to the Department shall be granted or reinstated, if the person is otherwise eligible, in accordance with law. Upon such granting or reinstatement of driving privileges, the Department may remove any record of the denial or cancellation of driving privileges as provided for in this section from the file of the person and maintain an internal record of the denial or cancellation for fiscal or other purposes.
D. At the time of sentencing the person, the court may take custody of the driver's license of the person until the terms of the sentence are fulfilled. In such case, the court shall issue to the person a receipt for the license. Additionally, the court may notify the parents or other custodian of the person of the terms of the sentence or any notice to the Department.
