§45-22-240.29. Voiding of license when payment noncollectible.

In Cullman County, when a check tendered by an individual, company, or other entity for payment of any motor vehicle license is found to be noncollectible at time of deposit, the revenue commissioner shall notify the license inspector who shall make a reasonable attempt to retrieve the motor vehicle license plate and any decal in question. In the event the motor vehicle license plate or decal cannot be retrieved, the revenue commissioner shall so state and the statement shall constitute authorization for the revenue commissioner to void the motor vehicle license plate, decal, sales and use taxes, issuance fees, interest and penalty, and costs. Once the motor vehicle license has been voided, the revenue commissioner shall receive credit for costs associated with the noncollectible check issued. The appropriate state office shall mark the records pertaining to the void license accordingly and upon inquiry by any law enforcement agency, shall notify the agency that the party in question is operating under a voided license. All violations shall be prosecuted in accordance with current law.
