If a person's license is revoked but the revocation period has expired, what is the proper charge if they have not paid the reinstatement fee?

When a person's license has been revoked and the revocation period has expired, the key issue is whether they have completed all necessary steps to regain their driving privileges, including payment of the reinstatement fee. Simply having the revocation period expire does not automatically restore a person's license; they must also pay any required fees to reinstate it.

In this scenario, if the individual has not paid the reinstatement fee, they are technically not in possession of a valid license, despite the revocation period being over. The appropriate charge in this case is "NOL," which stands for "No Operator's License." This charge reflects that even though the individual's license was revoked and the period has ended, they have not completed the necessary step of paying the reinstatement fee, leaving them without a valid license to operate a vehicle legally.

This distinction is important as it highlights the need for individuals not only to wait out the revocation period but also to fulfill additional requirements for reinstatement. Therefore, if they drive without having completed those requirements, the charge accurately represents their current legal standing concerning their driving privileges.
