(a) When any law enforcement officer arrests a person for operating a motor vehicle while that person's operator's license or permit has been suspended or revoked under the laws of any state due to the person having previously been found guilty or having pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to violating 5-65-103, and if the motor vehicle operated by the person is owned in whole or part by the person, the motor vehicle license plate shall be impounded by the law enforcement officer for no less than ninety (90) days.
