The order of suspension shall indicate the reason therefor and notify the motorist that his license shall remain suspended until he has furnished satisfactory evidence indicating that he has fully complied with the terms of the court having jurisdiction in the matter. However, the department of public safety, or any employee thereof, shall not collect nor act as a collecting agency for any court-imposed fine in relation to an outstanding, undisposed of traffic case. 

(3)  A copy of any suspension order issued hereunder shall be furnished to the licensing authority of the reciprocating state in which the citation was issued. 

(4)  It shall be the duty of the director of driver services, department of public safety, to ascertain and remain informed as to which states are "reciprocating states" hereunder and, accordingly, to maintain a current listing of such states. The listings shall periodically be disseminated among the appropriate official positions of any state agency, county or municipality of this state and the licensing authorities in all other reciprocating states pursuant hereto.
