HB 1188 Vanpools and ridesharing.

Introduced by: L. Karen Darner | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Vanpools and ridesharing. Revises several Code sections to eliminate conflicts and inconsistencies that arose as the result of 2001 legislation revising Virginia's motor carrier laws. Specifically, the bill (i) amends several statutes so that definitions and provisions applicable to small vanpool vehicles conform to federal regulations and other provisions of Virginia law; (ii) clarifies the use and cost of “PV” license tags for small vanpool vans; (iii) removes a meaningless reference to ridesharing in the shared ride taxi statute (§ 15.2-949) and substitutes language authorizing vanpool capital assistance by a locality, in lieu of establishing a shared ride taxi service; (iv) authorizes localities to give personal property tax breaks to all small non-profit vanpool vans; and (v) provides statutory recognition of the State Corporation Commission's interpretation view that the vanpool notice requirement for insurance purposes, applicable to vanpools using vehicles seating ten or more, includes the driver in the count.
