  • 1.  The trial court or clerk thereof shall certify to the commissioner
      the facts of any case involving a violation of  any  provision  of  this
      chapter, or of any rule, regulation or order adopted pursuant thereto,
        (a) within five days of the date of conviction of such violation;
        (b) within five days of a forfeiture of bail in such case; or
        (c)  within ninety days of a failure of the defendant to appear on the
      initial date of appearance, or any  adjourned  date  for  appearance  or
      trial.
        2.  The  commissioner  may,  by  regulation,  provide for the form and
      content of  such  certification  and  limit  the  violations  for  which
      certifications   shall   be   required.  Such  certifications  shall  be
      presumptive evidence of the facts therein  contained  and  may,  in  the
      discretion  of  the  commissioner,  be  recorded  in  the records of the
      department. In the event a conviction which  has  been  so  recorded  is
      subsequently  reversed,  the  commissioner,  upon  receiving  due notice
      thereof, shall record such fact in such records.
        3. Upon the conviction of any  person  of  a  violation  for  which  a
      certification  must  be  made  to  the  commissioner,  pursuant  to this
      section, the court or clerk shall also  enter  such  conviction  on  any
      license  or  certificate  issued  by  the  department  if  such entry is
      required by the regulations of the commissioner.
