conviction to be forwarded to licensing authority.
Every magistrate, as defined in section 29-01-14, shall keep a full record of every case
brought before the magistrate in which a person is charged with a violation of chapter 12.1-16
resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle, or of any provision of chapters 39-05 through
39-13, 39-21, and 39-24, or with a violation of a municipal ordinance which is equivalent to any
of the provisions of the foregoing statutes. Within ten days after a final order or judgment of
conviction, for a violation not subject to disposition and reporting under chapter 39-06.1, by the
North Dakota supreme court or any lower court having jurisdiction, provided that no appeal is
pending and the time for filing a notice of appeal has elapsed, the magistrate then having
jurisdiction shall forward a report of that fact to the licensing authority. If the reported violation
caused another person's serious bodily injury, as defined in section 12.1-01-04, the magistrate
shall include that information in the report. Any conviction for which a report is received by the
licensing authority may be deemed by the licensing authority to be final, and the licensing
authority may take any action authorized by law to be taken based on the report. Subject to the
filing of an appeal, a conviction includes those instances when:
1. A sentence is imposed and suspended;
2. Imposition of a sentence is deferred under subsection 4 of section 12.1-32-02; or
3. There is a forfeiture of bail or collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance
in court and the forfeiture has not been vacated.
