If the person does not appear in | 20 | | court on or before the continued court date or satisfy the | 21 | | court that the person's appearance in and surrender to the | 22 | | court is impossible for no fault of the person, the court shall | 23 | | enter an order of failure to appear. The clerk of the court | 24 | | shall notify the Secretary of State of the court's order. The | 25 | | Secretary, when notified by the clerk of the court that an |

Upon compliance, the | 8 | | clerk of the court shall present the person with a notice of | 9 | | compliance containing the seal of the court, and shall notify | 10 | | the Secretary that the person has appeared and resolved the | 11 | | violation.
