HOUSE BILL NO. 666 Offered January 14, 2004 Prefiled January 13, 2004 A BILL to amend and reenact § 18.2-272 of the Code of Virginia, relating to driving after license forfeiture for DUI. ---------- Patrons-- Bell and Gear ---------- Referred to Committee for Courts of Justice ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 18.2-272 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 18.2-272. Driving after forfeiture of license.

If any person so convicted shall, during the time for which he is deprived of his right so to do, drive or operate any motor vehicle, engine or train in this Commonwealth, he shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. Nothing in this section or §§ 18.2-266, 18.2-270 or § 18.2-271, shall be construed as conflicting with or repealing any ordinance or resolution of any city, town or county which restricts still further the right of such persons to drive or operate any such vehicle or conveyance. It shall be an affirmative defense to a prosecution hereunder that the defendant was operating a motor vehicle in compliance with the restrictions of a restricted license issued pursuant to § 18.2-271.1; however, notwithstanding such compliance, if the defendant in a prosecution hereunder unreasonably refuses to submit to a blood alcohol test in accordance with § 18.2-268.2, he shall be deemed guilty of a violation of this section.
