CHAPTER 565 An Act to amend and reenact § 46.2-414 of the Code of Virginia, relating to commencement of periods for suspension or revocation of driver's licenses, registration cards, or license plates. [H 2772] Approved March 22, 2005  

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 46.2-414 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 46.2-414. Commencement of periods for suspension or revocation of licenses, registration cards, or license plates.

Wherever it is provided in this title that the driver's license, registration cards, or license plates of any person be suspended or revoked for a period of time on conviction of certain offenses, or after a hearing before the Commissioner as provided by law, the period shall be counted from 180 days after the date the conviction becomes final or after the order of the Commissioner, as a result of the hearing, becomes final, or shall be counted from the date on which the license, cards, or plates are surrendered to the Commissioner or his agent, or to the court or clerk thereof, regardless of whether the record of conviction has been received by the Commissioner or his agent, whichever period shall first commence. However, the provisions of this section shall not apply in any case where the person whose license is subject to suspension or revocation gives a false name or otherwise conceals his identity.
