2002 SESSION
HB 817 Restoration of suspended driver's license; payment of fines.
Introduced by: James F. Almand | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Restoration of suspended driver’s license; fines. Provides for automatic restoration of a driver’s license when a defendant enters into a deferred or installment payment agreement that is acceptable to the court. Under current law only the court can restore the driver’s license. This bill amends a provision added to the Code of Virginia by the 2000 General Assembly (HB 355, SB 183), which provided that a person with a suspended license could have the license restored if he paid the reinstatement fee to DMV and entered into an agreement acceptable to the court to make deferred or installment payments. The 2000 bill stated that the court shall restore the defendant’s license and an Attorney General’s Opinion issued on December 29, 2001, stated that the court must enter an order for restoration to occur. This bill is a recommendation of the Committee on District Courts.
