North Dakota Century Code Title 39. Motor Vehicles § 39-16.1-17. Release of bond or deposit on making other proof of responsibility

1. The director shall consent to the cancellation of any bond or certificate of insurance or the director shall direct and the Bank of North Dakota shall return any money or securities to the person entitled thereto upon the substitution and acceptance of other adequate proof of financial responsibility pursuant to this chapter.

2. The director may not consent to the cancellation of any bond or the return of any money or securities in the event any action for damages upon liability covered by such proof is then pending or any judgment upon any such liability is then unsatisfied, or in the event the person who has filed such bond or deposited such money or securities has, within one year immediately preceding such request been involved as an operator or owner in any motor vehicle accident resulting in injury or damage to the person or property of others. An affidavit of the applicant as to the nonexistence of such facts, or that the applicant has been released from all of the applicant's liability, or has been finally adjudicated not to be liable, for such injury or damage, is sufficient evidence thereof in the absence of evidence to the contrary in the records of the director.
