§47-7-213.
(a) In case the driver or the owner of a vehicle of a type subject to
registration under the laws of this state involved in an accident
within this state has no license or registration in this state, then
such driver shall not be allowed a license, nor shall such owner be
allowed to register any vehicle in this state, until he has complied
with the requirements of this chapter to the same extent that would be
necessary if, at the time of the accident, he had held a license or
been the owner of a vehicle registered in this state.
(b) When a nonresident's operating privilege is suspended pursuant to
Section 7-206, the Department shall transmit a certified copy of the
record of such action to the official in charge of the issuance of
licenses and registration certificates 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
(c) of this section.
(c) Upon receipt of such 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
give and maintain proof of financial responsibility, under
circumstances which would require the Department to suspend a
nonresident's operating privilege had the accident occurred in this
state, the Department shall suspend the license of such resident if he
was the driver, and all of his registrations if he was the owner of a
motor vehicle involved in such accident. Such suspension shall
continue until such resident furnishes evidence of his compliance with
the law of such other state relating to the deposit of such security
or files proof of financial responsibility.
