Requires the surrender of registration and license plates for a suspended or revoked license
S 5777 requires drivers with suspended or revoked licenses (for traffic offenses) to surrender all vehicle registration plates and have their vehicle registrations suspended. This applies to all vehicles registered in their name, preventing new registrations during the license suspension period. Drivers must surrender plates within 14 days of receiving written notice, with failure punishable by fines ($150-$500) or jail time. A hardship exception allows joint vehicle use by family members (including domestic partners) if surrendering plates would cause extreme hardship, requiring proof like shared insurance.
