20512051 9 However, if property damage under subdivision (4) is equal to or less
20522052 10 than two hundred dollars ($200), the bureau may determine whether
20532053 11 the driver's license, driving privilege card, or driving privileges shall
20542054 12 be suspended or revoked.
20552055 13 (c) An individual whose driving privileges are suspended under this
20562056 14 chapter is eligible for specialized driving privileges under IC 9-30-16.
20572057 15 (d) A suspension or revocation remains in effect and a new or

20642064 22 (2) Upon conviction of an offense described in subsection (a)(1),
20652065 23 (a)(4), (b)(1), or (b)(4), when the accident has resulted in death,

20672067 25 (5) years, to be fixed by the bureau based upon recommendation
20682068 26 of the court entering a conviction. A new or reinstated driver's
20692069 27 license, driving privilege card, or driving privileges may not be
20702070 28 issued to the individual unless that individual, within the three (3)
20712071 29 years following the expiration of the suspension or revocation,
20722072 30 gives and maintains in force at all times during the effective
20732073 31 period of a new or reinstated license or driving privilege card
20742074 32 proof of financial responsibility in the future in the manner
20752075 33 specified in this chapter. However, the liability of the insurance
20762076 34 carrier under a motor vehicle liability policy that is furnished for
20772077 35 proof of financial responsibility in the future as set out in this
20782078 36 chapter becomes absolute whenever loss or damage covered by
20792079 37 the policy occurs, and the satisfaction by the insured of a final
20802080 38 judgment for loss or damage is not a condition precedent to the
20812081 39 right or obligation of the carrier to make payment on account of
20822082 40 loss or damage, but the insurance carrier has the right to settle a
20832083 41 claim covered by the policy. If the settlement is made in good
20842084 42 faith, the amount must be deducted from the limits of liability
20852085 2025 IN 1397—LS 7392/DI 137 49
20862086 1 specified in the policy. A policy may not be canceled or annulled
20872087 2 with respect to a loss or damage by an agreement between the
20882088 3 carrier and the insured after the insured has become responsible
20892089 4 for the loss or damage, and a cancellation or annulment is void.
20902090 5 The policy may provide that the insured or any other person
20912091 6 covered by the policy shall reimburse the insurance carrier for
20922092 7 payment made on account of any loss or damage claim or suit
20932093 8 involving a breach of the terms, provisions, or conditions of the
20942094 9 policy. If the policy provides for limits that exceed the limits
20952095 10 specified in this chapter, the insurance carrier may plead against
20962096 11 any plaintiff, with respect to the amount of the excess limits of
20972097 12 liability, any defenses that the carrier may be entitled to plead
20982098 13 against the insured. The policy may further provide for prorating
20992099 14 of the insurance with other applicable valid and collectible
21002100 15 insurance. An action does not lie against the insurance carrier by
21012101 16 or on behalf of any claimant under the policy until a final
21022102 17 judgment has been obtained after actual trial by or on behalf of
21032103 18 any claimant under the policy.
21042104 19 (e) The bureau may take action as required in this section upon
21052105 20 receiving satisfactory evidence of a conviction of an individual in
21062106 21 another state.
21072107 22 (f) A suspension or revocation under this section or IC 9-30-13-0.5
21082108 23 stands pending appeal of the conviction to a higher court and may be
21092109 24 set aside or modified only upon the receipt by the bureau of the
21102110 25 certificate of the court reversing or modifying the judgment that the
21112111 26 cause has been reversed or modified. However, if the suspension or
21122112 27 revocation follows a conviction in a court of no record in Indiana, the
21132113 28 suspension or revocation is stayed pending appeal of the conviction to
21142114 29 a court of record.
21152115 30 (g) A person aggrieved by an order or act of the bureau under this
21162116 31 section or IC 9-30-13-0.5 may file a petition for a court review.
21172117 32 (h) An entry in the driving record of a defendant stating that notice
21182118 33 of suspension or revocation was mailed by the bureau, or sent
21192119 34 electronically if the defendant has indicated a preference for receiving
21202120 35 notices from the bureau electronically, to the defendant constitutes
21212121 36 prima facie evidence that the notice was mailed to the defendant's
21222122 37 address as shown in the records of the bureau.
