Section III-177 - Effective Dates of Reciprocity Agreements; Policy and Procedure Statements

A. All reciprocity agreements shall provide for an effective date and a termination date. The reciprocity agreement may provide for automatic renewals at the end of the specified term, but the agreement shall state that either party may choose not to renew the reciprocity agreement upon 60 days' written notice to the other party. All licenses issued pursuant to a canceled reciprocity agreement shall be revoked 30 days after a public announcement of the cancellation of the reciprocity agreement, or upon the expiration of the 60 days after the issuance of the written notice of cancellation, whichever is longer.

B. In the event of an imminent threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, either party may suspend a reciprocity agreement upon written notice to the other party. If a reciprocity agreement is suspended, no new driver's licenses and no renewals of driver's licenses shall be issued pursuant to the reciprocity during the period of suspension. The party suspending the reciprocity agreement shall specify the duration of the suspension, or specify that the suspension is indefinite.

C. Any new reciprocity agreement, or any amendment to a reciprocity agreement shall not take effect until sufficient time has been given for the department to implement any necessary changes to its policies and procedures.
