Search N.Y. VAT. LAW § 331 : NY Code - Section 331: Proof required upon certain convictions

(a)  Whenever the
  commissioner, or other authorized person, under any law  of  this  state
  suspends  or revokes the operator's or chauffeur's license of any person
  because of the conviction of such person, the  commissioner  shall  also
  suspend  any  and  all of the registration certificates and registration
  plates issued for any motor vehicle registered in the name of the person
  so convicted as owner except that he shall not suspend such evidence  of
  registration,  unless otherwise required by law, in the event such owner
  has previously given, or shall immediately give and thereafter  maintain
  proof  of  his  financial  responsibility  in  the  future in the manner
  hereinafter specified in this article with respect  to  each  and  every
  motor vehicle owned and registered by such person.
    (b)  Such  suspensions  or  revocation  shall remain in effect and the
  commissioner shall not issue to any  such  person  any  new  or  renewal
  license  or register in the name of such person any motor vehicle, until
  permitted under this chapter and not then unless and until  such  person
  gives proof of his financial responsibility in the future as hereinafter
  provided  in  this article. Reversal on appeal of any conviction because
  of which any license or registration has been suspended pursuant to this
  article shall entitle the holder to the  restoration  thereof  forthwith
  without proof of financial responsibility.
    (c)  For the purpose of this article the term conviction shall include
  a forfeiture of bail or collateral deposited  to  secure  a  defendant's
  appearance  in  court,  which  forfeiture  has  not been vacated, upon a
  charge which upon conviction of the defendant requires or authorizes the
  commissioner to suspend or revoke the license of such person.
