Colorado § 42-7-502

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 42: Vehicles and
• Art.: Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law

Text

(1) All
of the provisions of this article shall apply to any person who is not a resident of this
state, and if such nonresident has been convicted of an offense which would require
the suspension or revocation of the license of a resident, or if such nonresident has
failed to satisfy a judgment within thirty days after the same became final which
would require suspension or revocation under this article in respect to a resident,
then in either such event such nonresident shall not operate any motor vehicle in
this state, and the director shall not issue to such nonresident any license unless
and until such nonresident gives proof of financial responsibility and satisfies any
such judgment as is required with respect to a resident of this state.

(2) The director shall transmit a certified copy of any record of any such
conviction of a nonresident to the motor vehicle commissioner or state officer
performing the functions of a commissioner in the state in which such nonresident
resides and shall likewise forward to such officer a certified record of any
unsatisfied judgment rendered against such nonresident which requires suspension
of such nonresident's driving privileges in this state.

(3) When a nonresident's operating privilege is suspended pursuant to
section 42-7-301, the director shall transmit a certified copy of the record of such
action to the official in charge of the issuance of licenses in the state in which such
nonresident resides, if the law of such other state provides for action in relation
thereto similar to that provided for in subsection (4) of this section.

(4) Upon receipt of certification that the operating privilege of a resident of
this state has been suspended or revoked in any such other state pursuant to a law
providing for its suspension or revocation for failure to deposit security for the
payment of judgments arising out of a motor vehicle accident or for failure to
deposit security and furnish a statement evidencing that the resident is insured
under an automobile liability insurance policy or bond or for failure to file and
maintain proof of financial responsibility, under circumstances which would require
the director to suspend a nonresident's operating privilege had the accident
occurred in this state, the director shall suspend the license of such resident. Such
suspension shall continue until such resident furnishes evidence of compliance with
the law of such other state relating to the deposit of such security and until such
resident furnishes the statement evidencing automobile liability insurance or a
bond, or, as the case may be, files proof of financial responsibility, if required by
such law.
