Security deposited with director of revenue

Random law
In plain English

When someone deposits money with the state director of revenue after a car accident, that money is held to pay for any court judgments or agreed settlements from that accident. The money can only be used for claims filed within one year of the accident. Once a year has passed, and there are no open lawsuits or unpaid judgments, the person who made the deposit gets their money back. The money is also returned if the person is found not liable or if a release of liability is signed.
