as follows:
§ 46-454. Conviction of, or judgment against, resident in
another jurisdiction—The Commissioner shall suspend or revoke
the license and registration certificate and plates of any resident of
this State upon receiving notice of his conviction, in a court of
competent jurisdiction of this State, any other State of the United
States, the United States, any territory, district or possession of
the United States and under its exclusive control, the District of
Columbia, the Dominion of Canada, Newfoundland, or any province
or territorial subdivision of either, of an offense therein which, if
committed in this State, would be grounds for the suspension or
revocation of the license granted to him or registration of any motor
vehicle registered in his name. No suspension or revocation under
this paragraph shall continue for a longer period in this State than
in the jurisdiction in which such offense occurred, provided such
person gives proof of his financial responsibility in the future for
the period provided in § 46-426 of this chapter.

The Commissioner shall take like action upon receipt of notice
that a resident of this State has failed, for a period of thirty days,
to satisfy any final judgment in amount and upon a cause of
action as stated herein, rendered against him in a court of com-
petent jurisdiction of any other State of the United States, the
United States, any territory, district or possession of the United
States and under its exclusive control, the District of Columbia,
the Dominion of Canada, Newfoundland or any province or terri-
torial subdivision of either.
