1. That § 46.2-1700 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted and that the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered as follows:
§ 46.2-1700. Definitions.
As used in this chapter, unless the context requires a different meaning:
"Class A licensee" means a driver training school that provides training in the operation of commercial motor vehicles as defined in § 46.2-341.4.
"Class B licensee" means a driver training school that provides training in the operation of any type of motor vehicle other than motorcycles and commercial motor vehicles as defined in § 46.2-341.4.
"Driver training school" or "school" means
a business enterprise conducted by an individual, association, partnership, or
corporation, for the education and training of persons, either practically or
theoretically or both, to operate or drive motor vehicles, and charging a
consideration or tuition for such services. "Driver training
school" or "school"
includes driver education programs in public
schools that prior to July 1, 2008, were established for
the public school system by
the Board of Education. "Driver training school" or
"school" does not mean any college, university, school established
pursuant to § 46.2-1314, school maintained or classes conducted by employers
for their own employees where no fee or tuition is charged, schools or classes
owned and operated by or under the authority of bona fide religious
institutions, or by the Commonwealth or any political subdivision thereof,
training programs for school bus operators established pursuant to § 22.1-181, driver
education programs established pursuant to § 22.1-205, or schools
accredited by accrediting associations approved by the Department of Education;
however, if any such entity or program excluded from the definition of
"driver training school" offers driver education and training through
a contractual arrangement with another person for consideration, then that
other person shall be considered a driver training school subject to the
requirements of this chapter.
"Instructor" means any person, whether acting for himself as operator of a driver training school or for such school for compensation, who teaches, conducts classes, gives demonstrations, or supervises persons learning to operate or drive a motor vehicle.
