Special License Plate After Revocation.
Amends GS 20-19 by adding new subsection (l) to mandate that the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) require a person whose license was revoked under any provision in Chapter 20 to agree to and indicate on the person’s restored drivers license a restriction that the person may operate only a vehicle with a special registration plate as described in new GS 20-82.1. Requires any person subject to the subsection to obtain a special registration plate for all registered vehicles the person owns and operates, or intends to operate. Prohibits the person from operating any vehicle that does not have the special registration plate, except when operating a vehicle owned by the person’s employer only if operating that vehicle is required in the course and scope of employment, the employer has been notified that the person is subject to the license restriction requiring the special registration plate, and the person has proof of this notification with them while operating the employer’s vehicle for those duties. Requires a person to be subject to this subsection for seven years if the person is also subject to a restriction in GS 20-19(c3) or three years in all other cases. Mandates a one-year revocation for a violation of a restriction imposed under this subsection. Clarifies that if the period of revocation was imposed pursuant to GS 20-19(d) or (e), or GS 20-138.5(d), any remaining period of the original revocation, prior to its reduction, must be reinstated and the one-year revocation begins after all other periods of revocation have ended.
