Suspension or revocation of driver's license or driving privileges; evidence of conviction; petition for review
Status: in_force

Sec. 6.1. (a) The bureau shall suspend or revoke the current driver's license or driving privileges of an individual who is convicted of any of the following:

(1) Manslaughter or reckless homicide resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.

(2) Knowingly making a false application, or committing perjury with respect to an application made, under:

(A) this chapter; or

(B) any other law requiring the registration of motor vehicles or regulating motor vehicle operation on highways.

(3) Three (3) charges of criminal recklessness involving the use of a motor vehicle within the preceding twelve (12) months.

(4) Failure to stop and give information or assistance or failure to stop and disclose the individual's identity at the scene of an accident that has resulted in death, personal injury, or property damage in excess of two hundred dollars ($200).

(b) The bureau shall suspend a driver's license or driving privileges of an individual upon conviction in another jurisdiction for the following:

(1) Manslaughter or reckless homicide resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.

(2) Knowingly making a false application, or committing perjury with respect to an application made, under:

(A) this chapter; or

(B) any other law requiring the registration of motor vehicles or regulating motor vehicle operation on highways.

(3) Three (3) charges of criminal recklessness involving the use of a motor vehicle within the preceding twelve (12) months.

(4) Failure to stop and give information or assistance or failure to stop and disclose the individual's identity at the scene of an accident that has resulted in death, personal injury, or property damage in excess of two hundred dollars ($200).

However, if property damage under subdivision (4) is equal to or less than two hundred dollars ($200), the bureau may determine whether the driver's license or driving privileges shall be suspended or revoked.

(c) An individual whose driving privileges are suspended under this chapter is eligible for specialized driving privileges under IC 9-30-16.

(d) A suspension or revocation remains in effect and a new or renewal license may not be issued to the individual as follows:

(1) Except as provided in subdivision (2), for six (6) months after the date of conviction or on the date on which the individual is otherwise eligible for a license, whichever is later.

(2) Upon conviction of an offense described in subsection (a)(1), (a)(4), (b)(1), or (b)(4), when the accident has resulted in death, for a fixed period of at least two (2) years and not more than five (5) years, to be fixed by the bureau based upon recommendation of the court entering a conviction. A new or reinstated driver's license or driving privileges may not be issued to the individual unless that individual, within the three (3) years following the expiration of the suspension or revocation, gives and maintains in force at all times during the effective period of a new or reinstated license proof of financial responsibility in the future in the manner specified in this chapter. However, the liability of the insurance carrier under a motor vehicle liability policy that is furnished for proof of financial responsibility in the future as set out in this chapter becomes absolute whenever loss or damage covered by the policy occurs, and the satisfaction by the insured of a final judgment for loss or damage is not a condition precedent to the right or obligation of the carrier to make payment on account of loss or damage, but the insurance carrier has the right to settle a claim covered by the policy. If the settlement is made in good faith, the amount must be deducted from the limits of liability specified in the policy. A policy may not be canceled or annulled with respect to a loss or damage by an agreement between the carrier and the insured after the insured has become responsible for the loss or damage, and a cancellation or annulment is void. The policy may provide that the insured or any other person covered by the policy shall reimburse the insurance carrier for payment made on account of any loss or damage claim or suit involving a breach of the terms, provisions, or conditions of the policy. If the policy provides for limits that exceed the limits specified in this chapter, the insurance carrier may plead against any plaintiff, with respect to the amount of the excess limits of liability, any defenses that the carrier may be entitled to plead against the insured. The policy may further provide for prorating of the insurance with other applicable valid and collectible insurance. An action does not lie against the insurance carrier by or on behalf of any claimant under the policy until a final judgment has been obtained after actual trial by or on behalf of any claimant under the policy.

(e) The bureau may take action as required in this section upon receiving satisfactory evidence of a conviction of an individual in another state.

(f) A suspension or revocation under this section or IC 9-30-13-0.5 stands pending appeal of the conviction to a higher court and may be set aside or modified only upon the receipt by the bureau of the certificate of the court reversing or modifying the judgment that the cause has been reversed or modified. However, if the suspension or revocation follows a conviction in a court of no record in Indiana, the suspension or revocation is stayed pending appeal of the conviction to a court of record.

(g) A person aggrieved by an order or act of the bureau under this section or IC 9-30-13-0.5 may file a petition for a court review.

(h) An entry in the driving record of a defendant stating that notice of suspension or revocation was mailed by the bureau, or sent electronically if the defendant has indicated a preference for receiving notices from the bureau electronically, to the defendant constitutes prima facie evidence that the notice was mailed to the defendant's address as shown in the records of the bureau.

a new motor vehicle dealer may bring a declaratory judgment action before the division to determine whether good cause exists for the establishing or relocating of a proposed new motor vehicle dealer. If an action is filed under this section, the franchisor may not establish or relocate the proposed new motor vehicle dealer until the division has rendered a decision on the matter. An action brought under this section shall be given precedence over all other matters pending before the division.

(f) In determining whether good cause exists for establishing or relocating an additional new motor vehicle dealer for the same line make, the division shall take into consideration the existing circumstances, including the following:

(1) Permanency of the investment.

(2) Effect on the retail new motor vehicle business and the consuming public in the relevant market area.

(3) Whether it is injurious or beneficial to the public welfare.

(4) Whether the new motor vehicle dealers of the same line make in that relevant market area are providing adequate competition and convenient consumer care for the motor vehicles of that line make in that market area, including the adequacy of motor vehicle sales and qualified service personnel.

(5) Whether the establishment or relocation of the new motor vehicle dealer would promote competition.

(6) Growth or decline of the population and the number of new motor vehicle registrations in the relevant market area.

(7) The effect on the relocating dealer of a denial of its relocation into the relevant market area.

The bureau shall then follow the procedure set forth in section 3 of this chapter.

(e) If the bureau allows a special group to continue participating in the special group recognition license plate program for a period under subsection (c)(2), the bureau shall:

(1) establish the duration of the set period under subsection (c)(2); and

(g) After the review under subsection (f), if the bureau terminates the participation of the special group and the special group desires to continue participating, the special group must submit an application to the bureau containing the criteria set forth in section 3 of this chapter. The bureau shall then follow the procedure set forth in section 3 of this chapter.

(h) After the review under subsection (f), if the bureau continues the participation of the special group in the special group recognition license plate program, the bureau may do one (1) or more of the following:

(1) Allow the special group to remedy the defect or the violation that caused the special group to not be suitable for inclusion in the special group recognition license plate program.

(2) Place restrictions on or temporarily suspend the sales of special group recognition license plates for the special group.

(3) Require the special group to appear before the commission for review or reinstatement, or both.

The ability to pay the security in the amount of the fine and costs must be demonstrated by evidence of the motor club's financial responsibility that must be:

(1) a balance sheet certified by a certified public accountant at the end of the club's last available fiscal year showing net assets of the motor club in excess of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000); or

(2) a deposit by a surety company qualified to transact business in Indiana of an annual bond in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) payable to the state guaranteeing, in the amount of fines and costs, the motor club cards covered by the plan when used as a security deposit.

(b) A motor club that is a foreign corporation not qualified to transact business in Indiana under IC 23-1, IC 23-17, or any other Indiana corporation law shall demonstrate the club's ability to guarantee payment of the club's card or cards of an affiliated member as a security deposit upon the filing of a plan with the secretary of state guaranteeing payment of the fines and costs of the security and a deposit, by a surety company qualified to transact business in Indiana, of an annual bond in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) payable to the state, guaranteeing, in the amount of fines and costs, the motor club's cards covered by the plan when used as a security deposit.

(c) A motor club must, upon filing a plan with the secretary of state, pay a filing fee of fifty dollars ($50).

Upon failure of a motor club to guarantee a security deposit, the motor club plan may be terminated by the secretary of state under IC 4-21.5-3.

(f) Termination by the secretary of state does not relieve a motor club of the club's obligation to pay judgments on cards covered by the club's plan and accepted as security as provided in this chapter. The attorney general may bring an action for the state in an Indiana court against a motor club to enforce an obligation.

(g) The secretary of state shall, by June 1 of each year and at other times necessary for the administration of this section, prepare and distribute to all courts having jurisdiction over minor traffic violations and to the superintendent of the state police department lists of motor club cards that may be accepted as a security deposit.

Civil action
Status: in_force

Sec. 31. (a) A recreational vehicle dealer, recreational vehicle manufacturer, recreational vehicle distributor, or warrantor injured by another party's violation of this chapter may bring a civil action in a circuit court or superior court having jurisdiction in the county in which the recreational vehicle dealer is located to recover actual damages.

(b) In an action involving more than one (1) recreational vehicle dealer, the venue shall be in any county in which at least one (1) of the recreational vehicle dealers that is a party to the action is located.

(c) This subsection does not apply to a civil action for injunctive relief. Before bringing a civil action under this section, the party must serve a written demand for mediation on the offending party as follows:

(1) A demand for mediation shall be served upon the offending party via certified mail at the address stated within the recreational vehicle dealer agreement or, if the address is not contained in the recreational vehicle dealer agreement or the address is no longer valid, the address on the offending party's license filed with the secretary. In the event of a civil action between two (2) recreational vehicle dealers, the demand must be mailed to the address on the recreational vehicle dealer's license filed with the secretary.

(2) A demand for mediation must contain a brief statement of the dispute and the relief sought by the party filing the demand.

(3) Not later than twenty (20) days after the date a demand for mediation is served, the parties shall mutually select an independent mediator and meet with the mediator. The meeting must take place in Indiana in a location selected by the mediator. The mediator may extend the date of the meeting for good cause shown by either party or upon stipulation of both parties.

(d) Serving a demand for mediation acts as an agreement to stay the filing of a civil action for a violation of this chapter until after the parties have met with the mediator. If a civil action is filed before the meeting with the mediator, the court shall enter an order suspending the civil action until the meeting with the mediator has occurred. The court may, upon written stipulation of the parties, enter an order suspending the civil action for as long as the court considers appropriate if the parties wish to continue mediation.

(e) The parties to the mediation each bear the cost of attorney's fees and must divide the cost of the mediator equally.

(f) In addition to the remedies provided in this section and notwithstanding the existence of an additional remedy at law, a recreational vehicle dealer, recreational vehicle manufacturer, or recreational vehicle distributor may apply to a circuit court or superior court having jurisdiction over the claim, upon a hearing and for good cause shown, for a temporary or permanent injunction, or both, to restrain a party from violating or continuing to violate a provision of this chapter or from failing or refusing to comply with the requirements of this chapter. An injunction under this subsection must be issued without bond. A single act in violation of the provisions of this chapter is sufficient to authorize the issuance of an injunction under this subsection.

Selling motor vehicle to unlicensed person for resale; adverse action or discrimination against customer when customer intends to resell motor vehicle or export to foreign country
Status: in_force

Sec. 18. (a) It is an unfair practice for a distributor to sell a motor vehicle for resale to a person not licensed under this article.

(b) This subsection applies if a dealer sells or leases a motor vehicle to a customer that resells the motor vehicle or exports the motor vehicle to a foreign country. A manufacturer or distributor may not take or threaten to take adverse action or otherwise discriminate against the dealer unless the dealer knew or reasonably should have known before the dealer sold or leased the motor vehicle to the customer that the customer intended to resell or export the motor vehicle. Titling and registering a motor vehicle in any state in the name of the customer to whom the dealer sold or leased the motor vehicle establishes a rebuttable presumption that the dealer did not know or should not reasonably have known that the customer intended to resell or export the motor vehicle.

(c) For purposes of subsection (b), adverse actions by a manufacturer or distributor include the following conduct by a manufacturer or distributor, whether actual or threatened:

(1) Failing or refusing to allocate, sell, or deliver a motor vehicle to the dealer.

(2) Discriminating against the dealer in the allocation of motor vehicles.

(3) Charging back or withholding payments or other consideration for which a dealer is eligible under a warranty reimbursement, sales promotion, incentive program, or contest.

(4) Disqualifying a dealer from participating in a sales promotion, incentive program, or contest.

(5) Terminating a franchise.

Form and content
Status: in_force

Sec. 3. The driver license compact is hereby enacted into law and entered into with all other jurisdictions legally joining therein in the form substantially as follows:

DRIVER LICENSE COMPACT

ARTICLE 1

Findings and Declaration of Policy

(a) The party states find that:

(1) The safety of their streets and highways is materially affected by the degree of compliance with state laws and local ordinances relating to the operation of motor vehicles.

(2) Violation of such a law or ordinance is evidence that the violator engages in conduct which is likely to endanger the safety of persons and property.

(3) The continuance in force of a license to drive is predicated upon compliance with laws and ordinances relating to the operation of motor vehicles, in whichever jurisdiction the vehicle is operated.

(b) It is the policy of each of the party states to:

(1) Promote compliance with the laws, ordinances, and administrative rules and regulations relating to the operation of motor vehicles by their operators in each of the jurisdictions where such operators drive motor vehicles.

(2) Make the reciprocal recognition of licenses to drive and eligibility therefor more just and equitable by considering the overall compliance with motor vehicle laws, ordinances, and administrative rules and regulations as a condition precedent to the continuance or issuance of any license by reason of which the licensee is authorized or permitted to operate a motor vehicle in any of the party states.

ARTICLE 2

Definitions

As used in this compact:

(a) "State" means a state, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

(b) "Home state" means the state which has issued and has the power to suspend or revoke the use of the license or permit to operate a motor vehicle.

(c) "Conviction" means a conviction of any offense related to the use or operation of a motor vehicle which is prohibited by state law, municipal ordinance, or administrative rule or regulation, or a forfeiture of bail, bond, or other security deposited to secure appearance by a person charged with having committed any such offense, and which conviction or forfeiture is required to be reported to the licensing authority.

ARTICLE 3

Reports of Conviction

The licensing authority of a party state shall report each conviction of a person from another party state occurring within its jurisdiction to the licensing authority of the home state of the licensee. Such report shall clearly identify the person convicted; describe the violation specifying the section of the statute, code, or ordinance violated; identify the court in which action was taken; indicate whether a plea of guilty or not guilty was entered, or the conviction was a result of the forfeiture of bail, bond, or other security; and shall include any special findings made in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 4

Effect of Conviction

(a) The licensing authority in the home state, for the purposes of suspension, revocation, or limitation of the license to operate a motor vehicle, shall give the same effect to the conduct reported, pursuant to Article 3 of this compact, as it would if such conduct had occurred in the home state, in the case of convictions for:

(1) Manslaughter or negligent homicide resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.

(2) Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a narcotic drug, or under the influence of any other drug to a degree which renders the driver incapable of safely driving a motor vehicle.

(3) Any felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used.

(4) Failure to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle accident resulting in the death or personal injury of another.

(b) As to other convictions, reported pursuant to Article 3, the licensing authority in the home state shall give such effect to the conduct as is provided by the laws of the home state.

(c) If the laws of a party state do not provide for offenses or violations denominated or described in precisely the words employed in subdivision (a) of this article, such party state shall construe the denominations and descriptions appearing in subdivision (a) hereof as being applicable to and identifying those offenses or violations of a substantially similar nature, and the laws of such party state shall contain such provisions as may be necessary to ensure that full force and effect is given to this article.

ARTICLE 5

Applications for New Licenses

Upon application for a license to drive, the licensing authority in a party state shall ascertain whether the applicant has ever held, or is the holder of a license to drive issued by any other party state. The licensing authority in the state where application is made shall not issue a license to drive to the applicant if:

(1) The applicant has held such a license, but the same has been suspended by reason, in whole or in part, of a violation and if such suspension period has not terminated.

(2) The applicant has held such a license, but the same has been revoked by reason, in whole or in part, of a violation and if such revocation has not terminated, except that after the expiration of one (1) year from the date the license was revoked, such person may make application for a new license if permitted by law. The licensing authority may refuse to issue a license to any such applicant if, after investigation, the licensing authority determines that it will not be safe to grant to such person the privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the highways.

(3) The applicant is the holder of a license to drive issued by another party state and currently in force unless the applicant surrenders such license.

ARTICLE 6

Applicability of Other Laws

Except as expressly required by provisions of this compact, nothing contained herein shall be construed to affect the right of any party state to apply any of its other laws relating to licenses to drive to any person or circumstance, nor to invalidate or prevent any driver license agreement or other cooperative arrangement between a party state and a nonparty state.

ARTICLE 7

Compact Administrator and Interchange of Information

(a) The head of the licensing authority of each party shall be the administrator of this compact for his state. The administrators, acting jointly, shall have the power to formulate all necessary and proper procedures for the exchange of information under this compact.

(b) The administrator of each party state shall furnish to the administrator of each other party state any information or documents reasonably necessary to facilitate the administration of this compact.

ARTICLE 8

Entry into Force and Withdrawal

(a) This compact shall enter into force and become effective as to any state when it has enacted the same into law.

(b) Any party state may withdraw from this compact by enacting a statute repealing the same, but no such withdrawal shall take effect until six (6) months after the executive head of the withdrawing state has given notice of the withdrawal to the executive heads of all other party states. No withdrawal shall affect the validity or applicability by the licensing authorities of states remaining party to the compact of any report of conviction occurring prior to the withdrawal.

ARTICLE 9

Construction and Severability

This compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes thereof. The provisions of this compact shall be severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence, or provision of this compact is declared to be contrary to the Constitution of any party state or of the United States or the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person, or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact and the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person, or circumstance shall not be affected thereby. If this compact shall be held contrary to the constitution of any state party thereto, the compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining states and in full force and effect as to the state affected as to all severable matters.
