Persons identified in accident reports; certificate of compliance
Sec. 4. (a) To avoid a current driving license suspension or
vehicle registration suspension under this article, a person identified
under section 2 of this chapter who receives a request for evidence
of financial responsibility must provide the bureau with a certificate
of compliance indicating that financial responsibility required by
IC 9-25-4-1 was in effect with respect to the motor vehicle on the
date of the accident described in the accident report.
(b) Proof that the bureau:
(1) did not receive a certificate of compliance from a person
presented with a request for evidence of financial responsibility
under section 2 of this chapter within forty-five (45) days after
the date on which the person was presented with the request;
(2) received a certificate of compliance that did not indicate that
financial responsibility was in effect with respect to the motor
vehicle that the person was operating on the date of the accident
described in the accident report; or
(3) suspended a current driving license or vehicle registration
under IC 9-25-6-3 after presenting a person with a request for
evidence of financial responsibility under section 2 of this
chapter;
is prima facie evidence in a civil action that the person presented
with the request for evidence of financial responsibility did not have
a motor vehicle liability policy in effect with respect to the motor
vehicle that the person was operating on the date of the accident
described in the accident report.
