Failure to furnish such certificates within 30 days of demand may result in the suspension of driver's licenses and all registration and plates issued to noncomplying individuals. Persons operating uninsured motor vehicles will be fined $250 and incarcerated for five days in jail. Current provisions in the law allowing individuals to register uninsured motor vehicles by paying into an uninsured motorist fund are repealed. The fund is phased out under the bill's provisions.
