(a) Whenever the bureau suspends or revokes the current driver's license or driving privileges upon receiving a record of the conviction of a person for any offense under the motor vehicle laws not enumerated under subsection (b), the

bureau may also suspend any of the certificates of registration and license plates issued for any motor vehicle registered in the name of the person so convicted. However, the bureau may not suspend the evidence of registration, unless otherwise required by law, if the person has given or gives and maintains during the three (3) years following the date of suspension or revocation proof of financial responsibility in the future in the manner specified in this section.
    (b) The bureau shall suspend or revoke without notice or hearing the current driver's license or driving privileges and all certificates of registration and license plates issued or registered in the name of a person who is convicted of any of the following:
        (1) Manslaughter or reckless homicide resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.

    (c) The driver's license or driving privileges of a person shall also be suspended upon conviction in another jurisdiction for any offense described in subsections subsection (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(5), except if property damage is less than two hundred dollars ($200), the bureau may determine whether the driver's license or driving privileges and certificates of registration and license plates shall be suspended or revoked. The license of a person shall also be suspended upon conviction in another jurisdiction for any offense described in subsection (b)(6).
    (d) A suspension or revocation remains in effect and a new or renewal license may not be issued to the person and a motor vehicle may not be registered in the name of the person as follows:


        (1) Except as provided in subdivisions (2), (3), (4), and (5), and subject to section 6.5 of this chapter, for six (6) months from the date of conviction or on the date on which the person is otherwise eligible for a license, whichever is later. Except as provided in IC 35-48-4-15, this includes a person convicted of a crime for which the person's driving privilege or driver's license is suspended or revoked under subsection (b)(6).
        (2) Subject to section 6.5 of this chapter, upon conviction of an offense described in subsection (b)(1), for a fixed period of not less than two (2) years and not more than five (5) years, to be fixed by the bureau based upon recommendation of the court entering a conviction.

However, the liability of the insurance carrier under a motor vehicle liability policy that is furnished for proof of financial responsibility in the future as set out in this chapter becomes absolute whenever loss or damage covered by the policy occurs, and the satisfaction by the insured of a final judgment for loss or damage is not a condition precedent to the right or obligation of the carrier to make payment on account of loss or damage, but the insurance carrier has the right to settle a claim covered by the policy. If the settlement is made in good faith, the amount shall be deductive from the limits of liability specified in the policy. A policy may not be canceled or annulled with respect to a loss or damage by an agreement between the carrier and the insured after the insured has become responsible for the loss or damage, and a cancellation or annulment is void. The policy may provide that the insured or any other person covered by the policy shall reimburse the insurance carrier for payment made on account of any loss or damage claim or suit involving a breach of the terms, provisions, or conditions of the policy. If the policy provides for limits in excess of the limits specified in this chapter, the insurance carrier may plead against any plaintiff, with respect to the amount of the excess limits of liability, any defenses that

the carrier may be entitled to plead against the insured. The policy may further provide for prorating of the insurance with other applicable valid and collectible insurance. An action does not lie against the insurance carrier by or on behalf of any claimant under the policy until a final judgment has been obtained after actual trial by or on behalf of any claimant under the policy.
        (3) Subject to section 6.5 of this chapter, for the period ordered by a court under IC 35-48-4-15.
        (4) Subject to section 6.5 of this chapter, if the person is convicted of a felony involving the use of a motor vehicle under IC 35-44-3-3(b) IC 35-44.1-3-1(b) and the person:
            (A) exceeded the speed limit by at least twenty (20) miles per hour;
            (B) committed criminal recklessness with a vehicle (IC 35-42-2-2); or
            (C) engaged in aggressive driving (as defined in IC 9-21-8-55(b));

The convicted person has the burden of applying for a new or renewal license and establishing that the one (1) year period described in this subdivision and subject to section 6.5 of this chapter has elapsed.
        (5) Subject to section 6.5 of this chapter, if the person is convicted of a felony involving the use of a motor vehicle under IC 35-44-3-3(b), IC 35-44.1-3-1(b), the person:
            (A) exceeded the speed limit by at least twenty (20) miles per hour;

            (C) engaged in aggressive driving (as defined in IC 9-21-8-55(b));
        while committing the felony, and the person has a prior unrelated conviction for a felony under IC 35-44-3-3(b), IC 35-44.1-3-1(b), for two (2) years after the date the person was convicted. The convicted person has the burden of applying for a new or renewal license and establishing that the two (2) year period described in this subdivision and subject to section 6.5 of this chapter has elapsed.
    (e) The bureau may take action as required in this section upon receiving satisfactory evidence of a conviction of a person in another state.
    (f) For the purpose of this chapter, "conviction" includes any of the

following:
        (1) A conviction upon a plea of guilty.
        (2) A determination of guilt by a jury or court, even if:
            (A) no sentence is imposed; or
            (B) a sentence is suspended.
        (3) A forfeiture of bail, bond, or collateral deposited to secure the defendant's appearance for trial, unless the forfeiture is vacated.
        (4) A payment of money as a penalty or as costs in accordance with an agreement between a moving traffic violator and a traffic violations bureau.
    (g) A suspension or revocation under this section or under IC 9-25-6-8 IC 9-30-13-0.5 stands pending appeal of the conviction to a higher court and may be set aside or modified only upon the receipt by the bureau of the certificate of the court reversing or modifying the judgment that the cause has been reversed or modified. However, if the suspension or revocation follows a conviction in a court of no record in Indiana, the suspension or revocation is stayed pending appeal of the conviction to a court of record.
    (h) A person aggrieved by an order or act of the bureau under this section or IC 9-25-6-8 IC 9-30-13-0.5 may file a petition for a court review.

    (d) The bureau or the deputy or agent may subpoena witnesses, administer oaths, and take testimony. The failure of the defendant to appear at the time and place of the hearing after notice as provided in this section does not prevent the hearing, the taking of testimony, and the determination of the matter.
