§ 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.
