Section 131.5 - Point reduction

(a) Upon receipt of a notice from a motor vehicle accident prevention course approved by the commissioner that a person has satisfactorily completed such course, the department shall reduce a total of up to four points on such person's driving record.

(b) No person can receive a point reduction more than once in any 18-month period.

(c) Entry into an approved motor vehicle accident prevention program is voluntary on the part of the motorist, and any charge for such program is in the discretion of the delivery agency administering the course.

(d) The approved sponsoring agency shall pay to the department a fee as provided in Part 138 of this Title for the recording of a notice of successful completion of a motor vehicle accident prevention course and administrative costs relating thereto.
