(1) For purposes of ORS 809.400(1):

(a) The date a notice of conviction is received by the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation (DMV) is:
(A) The date the notice of conviction is date stamped by the Driver Records Unit; or

(B) The date the notice of conviction is electronically transmitted to Oregon DMV from the reporting jurisdiction.

(b) "Initiated" means the date the conviction is entered on the person's Oregon driving record.

(c) A conviction is entered on the person's Oregon driving record when it is manually placed on the record by DMV or when it is transmitted from the reporting jurisdiction if received electronically.

(2) Except as provided in ORS 809.400(1), DMV will suspend or revoke the driving privileges of any resident of this state upon receiving notice of the conviction of the person in another jurisdiction for an offense which, if committed in this state, would be grounds for suspending or revoking of the person's driving privileges.

(3) DMV will suspend the driving privileges of a resident of this state, upon receiving notice from another state, territory, federal possession or district, or province of Canada that the person's driving privileges have been suspended or revoked in that jurisdiction under circumstances which would require DMV to suspend driving privileges under ORS 813.410(1) if the conduct had occurred in Oregon.

(4) DMV will suspend the commercial driving privileges of a resident of this state pursuant to ORS 809.510(7), upon receiving notice that the person's commercial driving privileges have been suspended or revoked in another jurisdiction under circumstances that would require DMV to suspend driving privileges if the conduct had occurred in Oregon. The period of suspension will be the same as would be imposed if the conduct had occurred in Oregon.

(5) A suspension under section (3) of this rule will continue until evidence acceptable to DMV is received that the person has complied with the law of the reporting jurisdiction, driving privileges have been restored in the reporting jurisdiction, or the revocation or suspension in the other jurisdiction was not imposed under circumstances that would require DMV to suspend driving privileges under ORS 813.410(1) if the conduct had occurred in Oregon. Acceptable evidence is:

(a) A letter on letterhead from the reporting jurisdiction showing the person has complied with the jurisdiction's law or that driving privileges have been restored.

(b) A certified copy of the driving record from the reporting jurisdiction showing the restoration of driving privileges;

(c) Response to a DMV inquiry to the National Driver Register/Problem Driver Pointer System (NDR/PDPS) indicating the person's driving privileges are not suspended, revoked, cancelled or otherwise not valid in the reporting jurisdiction; or

(d) A copy of the reporting jurisdiction's law and any relevant documents showing the suspension or revocation was not imposed under circumstances that would require DMV to suspend if the conduct had occurred in Oregon.
