Section 45-49-201.42 - Voiding of license for invalid payment.

(a) In Mobile County in cases where a personal check given for a license is found to be noncollectible for any reason, the license commissioner shall notify the county commission, who shall make a reasonable attempt to retrieve the license in question. The license commissioner is also authorized to attempt to retrieve the license in question. In the event that the license cannot be retrieved, the county commission shall so state and such statement shall constitute authorization for the license commissioner to void any license in question. Once such license has been voided, the license commissioner shall receive credit for the cost of the license plus the issuance fee. The appropriate state office shall mark the records pertaining to the void license and, upon inquiry by law enforcement agencies, shall notify said agencies that the party in question is operating under a void license. All violations will be prosecuted in accordance with current law. The license commissioner shall not be personally liable for any bad check.

(b) The provisions of this section are supplemental. It shall be construed in pari materia with other laws relating to such matters; however, those laws or parts of laws which are in direct conflict or inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed.
