in full or entered into a time payment agreement satisfactory to the tax administrator.
Upon receipt of said information, said names, addresses and social security numbers
of said persons shall be removed from the list.
(c) The administrator of the division of motor vehicles shall not register any motor vehicle
or transfer the registration of any motor vehicle for any person whose name appears

person to the attorney general for prosecution based solely upon said late filing
and/or payment of past due taxes.
