Under current law, any person whose operating privilege or vehicle registration
has been suspended for failure to deposit security or demonstrate financial
responsibility after an accident or judgment arising from an accident must provide,
and maintain in effect, proof of financial responsibility as a condition of
reinstatement of the operating privilege or vehicle registration unless at least three
years have elapsed since the person became eligible for reinstatement of the
operating privilege or vehicle registration. This applies to any resident or
nonresident operator or owner of a motor vehicle involved in an accident in this state.
The Department of Transportation may also require proof of financial responsibility
in other circumstances, including for issuance of an operator's license after
revocation by this state of a person's operating privilege. A nonresident may give
proof of financial responsibility by furnishing certification of a motor vehicle liability
insurance policy in effect for the benefit of the nonresident, issued by an insurer that
satisfies specified requirements, which requirements are specific to nonresidents.

This bill eliminates any requirement that nonresidents provide proof of
financial responsibility with respect to reinstatement of a suspended operating
privilege or registration in this state, and repeals the provision specifying the form
of, and requirements related to, proof of financial responsibility provided by
nonresidents.
