Such certificate shall be  presumptive  evidence of  the  facts recited therein. If any such conviction shall be reversed upon appeal therefrom, or shall be vacated  or  set  aside,  the  person whose conviction has been so reversed, vacated or set aside may serve on the  commissioner  a  certified  copy  of  the appropriate order and the commissioner shall thereupon record the  same  in  connection  with  the record of such conviction.  (b)  Notwithstanding  the provisions of paragraph (a), upon a judgment of conviction for any  offense  for  which  a  mandatory  suspension  or revocation  is  required  to  be  imposed, or a permissive suspension or revocation is imposed by the court, the court or the clerk thereof shall within  ninety-six  hours  of  the  imposition  of  sentence  file   the certificate  required  by  paragraph  (a)  along  with the license, when surrendered at sentencing.  (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of  paragraphs  (a)  and  (b),  the commissioner  may  prescribe  time  limitations  for  the  reporting  of judgments of conviction and transmission of such license that are longer than those prescribed by this section  for  any  courts  to  which  this section is applicable.

Thereafter and upon  the  appearance  of  any  such  person  in  response to such summons or the receipt of the fine by the court, the trial court or the clerk thereof shall forthwith  certify that  fact to the commissioner, in the manner and form prescribed by the commissioner.  (b)  Upon  the  failure  of a person to appear or answer, within sixty days of the return date or any subsequent adjourned date, or the failure to pay a fine imposed by a traffic and parking violations  agency  or  a traffic violations agency pursuant to a summons charging him or her with a violation of:  (1)  any  of  the  provisions  of this chapter except one for parking, stopping or standing and except those violations described in paragraphs (a), (b), (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision two  and  in  paragraphs  (a), (b),  (d),  (e), (f) and (g) of subdivision two-a and in paragraphs (a), (b), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of subdivision two-b of section three hundred seventy-one of the general municipal law;  (2) section five hundred two or subdivision (a)  of  section  eighteen hundred fifteen of the tax law;  (3)  section  fourteen-f  (except paragraph (b) of subdivision four of section fourteen-f), two hundred eleven or two  hundred  twelve  of  the transportation law; or  (4)  any  lawful  ordinance  or  regulation  made by a local or public authority relating to traffic  (except  one  for  parking,  stopping  or standing); the  clerk  thereof  shall  within  ten  days  certify  that fact to the commissioner, in the manner and form prescribed by the commissioner, who shall record the same in his or her  office.

(a) Upon the failure of the owner of a motor vehicle registered in this state or his representative to appear or answer, on the return date or any subsequent adjourned date, or in the case  of  an  administrative tribunal fails to comply with the rules and regulations of said tribunal following  entry  of  a  final  decision  in  response  to three or more summonses or other process  issued  within  an  eighteen  month  period, charging  that  said  motor  vehicle  was parked, stopped or standing in violation of the provisions of this chapter or any law, ordinance,  rule or   regulation   made   by  a  local  authority,  the  trial  court  or administrative tribunal of appropriate  jurisdiction  may  certify  that fact  to  the  commissioner  in  the  manner  and form prescribed by the commissioner, who may record the same in his office.  (b) Upon such certification, the trial court, the  clerk  thereof,  or the  administrative tribunal shall notify the registrant by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, that the  commissioner  shall deny  the registration or renewal application until proof from the court wherein the charges were pending is provided to the commissioner by such court, administrative tribunal, or registrant that such  registrant  has answered  or  appeared,  or  in  the  case of an administrative tribunal provides proof that such registrant has  complied  with  the  rules  and regulations  of  said  tribunal  following  entry  of  a final decision. Thereafter and upon the appearance or  answer  of  any  such  person  in response  to  such  summonses  the  trial  court  or clerk thereof shall forthwith certify that fact to the registrant, and to  the  commissioner in  a  manner and form prescribed by the commissioner. In the case of an administrative  tribunal  such  certification  shall  be  made  to   the registrant  and  to  the commissioner upon compliance with the rules and  regulations of such tribunal. Provided, however, that proof provided  to the commissioner by a registrant in the form of a certification provided to such registrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as  proof  provided  to the commissioner by such court or administrative tribunal.

(b) Thereafter and upon the appearance or answer of any such person in response to such summonses  the  trial  court  or  clerk  thereof  shall forthwith  certify  that fact to the registrant, and to the commissioner in a manner and form prescribed by the commissioner. In the case  of  an administrative  tribunal,  such  certification  shall  be  made  to  the registrant and to the commissioner upon compliance with  the  rules  and regulations  of such tribunal. Provided, however, that proof provided to the commissioner by a registrant in the form of a certification provided to such registrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as proof provided to the commissioner by such  court  or  administrative tribunal.   § 5.
