(A) The Traffic Compliance Administrator, by certified report, may request that the Secretary of State suspend the driving privileges of an owner of a registered vehicle who has failed to pay any fine or penalty due and owing as a result of five automated traffic violations.
(B) The report shall be certified and contain the following:
(1) The name; last known address as recorded with the Secretary of State, as provided by the lessor of the cited vehicle at the time of lease, or as recorded in a United States Post Office-approved database if any notice sent under this chapter is returned as undeliverable; and driver's license number of the person who failed to pay the fine or penalty; and the registration number of any vehicle known to be registered to such person in a state;
(2) The name of the municipality making the report pursuant to this section; and
(3) A statement that a notice of impending driver's license suspension has been sent to the person named in the report, at the address recorded with the Secretary of State, or at the last address known to the lessor of the cited vehicle at the time of the lease, or, if any notice sent under this chapter is returned as undeliverable, at the last known address recorded at a United States Post Office-approved database; the date on which such notice was sent; and the address to which such notice was sent.
(C) (1) The Traffic Compliance Administrator shall notify the Secretary of State whenever a person named in the certified report has paid the previously recorded fine or penalty, or whenever the municipality determines that the original report was in error.
(2) A certified copy of such notification shall also be given, upon request and at no additional charge, to the person named therein.
(D) Any person receiving notice from the Secretary of State that his or her driving privileges may be suspended at the end of a specified period, may challenge the accuracy of the certified report prepared by the Traffic Compliance Administrator.
(1) Within seven days after having received notice from the Secretary of State, the person shall request an opportunity to speak with the Traffic Compliance Administrator to challenge the accuracy of the certified report.
(2) If the Traffic Compliance Administrator determines that the original report was in error, due to the fact that the person challenging the report was not the owner or lessee of the vehicle, or that the person has already paid their fine for the five or more automated traffic violations, the Traffic Compliance Administrator shall immediately notify the Secretary of State of such error in a subsequent certified report.
