8-8-17: CONTESTING SUSPENSION RESULTING FROM AUTOMATED TRAFFIC LAW VIOLATIONS:
If the traffic administrator provides a suspension notice to a vehicle owner and subsequently makes a certified report to the secretary of state, the subject vehicle owner may challenge the accuracy of the certified report in writing. To do so, the vehicle owner must submit to the traffic administrator a written statement under oath, together with any supporting documentation, establishing one of the following grounds for challenging the accuracy of the certified report:
   A.   That the person was not the owner or lessee of the subject vehicle or vehicles receiving five (5) or more automated traffic law violations on the date or dates such violation notices were issued; or
   B.   That the person already paid the fines or penalties for the five (5) or more automated traffic law violations on the certified report. Such statement and support documentation must be sent to the traffic administrator within five (5) days after the person receives notice from the secretary of state that the person's driver's license will be suspended at the end of a specified period of time unless the secretary of state is presented with a notice from the village certifying that the fines or penalties due and owing have been paid or that the inclusion of the person's name on the certified report was in error. The traffic administrator or his designee shall immediately review all documents submitted pursuant to this subsection and shall determine whether the certified report was in error. If the report was in error, the traffic administrator shall notify the secretary of state immediately that the inclusion of the person's name on the certified report was in error.
