§ 2461. Suspension for nonresident owner or operator

    1. Suspension by Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may suspend the right of a nonresident owner or operator to operate a vehicle in this State for the same cause and under the same condition and in the same manner as that action could be taken against a resident owner or operator of a vehicle registered in this State.

    2. Effect of suspension. Upon suspension, the right of the nonresident owner or operator to operate a vehicle in this State terminates. The nonresident is subject to the same penalties as a resident who operates without a license or registration.
