Amends GS 20-311 by adding the requirement that the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) review its records and confirm whether a lapse in financial responsibility has occurred when it receives evidence that the owner of a motor vehicle registered or required to be registered in this state does not have financial responsibility for the operation of the vehicle. Provides that notification to the owner is only required when the review indicates that there is a lapse and now allows the notification to be provided by mail or electronically. Adds that evidence showing that a lapse did not occur includes proof of continuous financial responsibility or a form indicating transfer of title under GS 20-72 (transfer of title by owner) or GS 20-109.1 (surrender of titles to salvage vehicles) before the termination of the liability policy.
