§ 45-45-202 — Voiding of License for Invalid Payment

(a) In cases where a personal check given for licenses, motor vehicle registrations, manufactured home instruments, or any other instruments is found to be noncollectible for any reason, the Madison County License Director shall make a reasonable attempt to retrieve the license, motor vehicle registration, manufactured home instrument, or other instrument in question. In the event that the license, motor vehicle registration, manufactured home instrument, or other instrument cannot be retrieved, the license director shall so state and that statement shall constitute authorization to void any license, motor vehicle registration, manufactured home instrument, or other instrument in question. Once the license or instrument has been voided, the license director shall receive credit for the cost of the license plus the issuance fee. The appropriate state office shall mark the records pertaining to the voided license and, upon inquiry by law enforcement agencies, shall notify the agencies that the party in question is operating under a voided license, motor vehicle registration, manufactured home instrument, or any other instrument. All violations shall be prosecuted in accordance with current law.
(b) The provisions of this section are supplemental. It shall be construed in pari materia with other laws relating to such matters; however, those laws or parts of laws which are in direct conflict or inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed.
