North Carolina § 20-4 - 24. Reports of convictions; effect of reports.

§ 20-4. 24. Reports of convictions; effect of reports.

Reports. - A state that is a member of the Drivers License Compact shall report to another member state of the compact a conviction for any of the following: Manslaughter or negligent homicide resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle. Driving a motor vehicle while impaired. A felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle was used. Failure to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle accident resulting in the death or personal injury of another. Effect. - A state that is a member of the Drivers License Compact shall treat a report of a conviction received from another member state of the compact as a report of the conduct that resulted in the conviction. For a conviction required to be reported under subsection (a), a member state shall give the same effect to the report as if the conviction had occurred in that state. For a conviction that is not required to be reported under subsection (a), a member state shall give the effect to the report that is required by the laws of that state. G.S. 20-23 governs the effect in this State of convictions that are not required to be reported under subsection (a). If the laws of a member state do not describe the listed violations in precisely the words used in this subsection, the member state shall construe the descriptions to apply to offenses of the member state that are substantially similar to the ones described. A state that is a member of the Drivers License Compact shall report to another member state of the compact a conviction for any other offense or any other information concerning convictions that the member states agree to report.
