§ 518. Reciprocal agreements concerning suspension or revocation of
registration of a motor vehicle for violations of toll collection
regulations. a. The commissioner may execute a reciprocal compact or
agreement regarding toll collection violations with the motor vehicle
administrator or other authorized official of another state not
inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter. Such compact or
agreement shall provide that if a registration of a motor vehicle would
be suspended or revoked pursuant to paragraph d of subdivision three of
section five hundred ten of this chapter, or pursuant to a comparable
law or regulation of another state, because a registrant of such motor
vehicle failed to pay tolls and related fees, or have such tolls or fees
dismissed or transferred, then the state issuing the registration shall
likewise suspend or revoke the registration or bar renewal of such
registration, until such registrant has paid such tolls and fees or
complied with the rules and regulations of the tolling authority that
imposed such tolls and fees. Such compact or agreement shall also
provide that no such action by a state against a motor vehicle
registration shall be taken pursuant to such compact or agreement unless
the tolling authority in the other state provides notice, due process,
an opportunity to be heard and appeal protections for registrants of
motor vehicles, and allows motor vehicle registrants in this state to
present evidence by mail, telephone, electronic means or other means to
invoke rights of due process without having to appear personally in the
jurisdiction where the violations occurred.

b. Such compact or agreement shall also provide such terms and
procedures as are necessary and proper to facilitate its administration.
Any such compact or agreement shall specify the violations subject to
the compact or agreement, and shall include a determination of
comparable violations in each state if any such violations are of a
substantially similar nature but are not denominated or described in
precisely the same words in each party state.

c. The word "state" when used in this section shall mean any state,
territory, a possession of the United States, the District of Columbia
or any province of Canada.
