Frequently asked questions about Johnson County & Kansas SR-22 cases:
Q. Can an SR-22 requirement lead to the suspension of my Kansas driver's license?
A. Yes. There are License Suspension penalties for a violation of KSA 40-3118 in Johnson County or elsewhere in Kansas. These license suspension penalties are found in KSA 40-3118(e), which states in part:
"Whenever the division of motor vehicles receives notice of non-compliance with the States requirement to maintain continuous financial security on a motor vehicle, as required under KSA 40-3118 (a) discussed above, (after sending the required notices as outlined in KSA 40-3118(e)), the division will suspend or revoke the driving privileges of the owner. This revocation will remain in effect until satisfactory proof of insurance has been filed with the director as required in KSA 40-3118(d and the appropriate reinstatement fees have been paid. (KSA 40- 3118(f))."
