2009 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §§ 46.2-2809 and 46.2-2826 of the Code of Virginia are amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 46.2-2809. Regulations.
The Board may promulgate regulations requiring persons
licensed under this chapter to keep and maintain records reasonably required
for the enforcement of provisions of this chapter, and any other regulations,
not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, as it shall consider
necessary for the effective administration and enforcement of this chapter. A
copy of any regulation promulgated under this section shall be mailed to each
licensee 30 days prior to its effective date. No regulation of the Board pertaining
to public safety towing and recovery services, as provided in § 46.2-2826,
shall become effective prior to July 1, 2010.
§ 46.2-2826. Public safety towing and recovery services; separate regulatory scheme not permitted.
The Board shall not establish any regulations
required of Class A and or Class B operators to provide public
safety towing and recovery services. For the purposes of this section,
"public safety towing and recovery services" shall be those towing
and recovery and related services requested by a state or local law-enforcement
agency. Such regulations shall establish minimum requirements, including
qualifications, standards, necessary equipment, and public safety concerns
necessary and appropriate to permit a Class A or Class B operator to provide
public safety towing and recovery services. No operator shall provide public
safety towing and recovery services unless they meet such criteria established
by Board regulation applicable to public safety towing and recovery services.
Upon submitting evidence to the Board of meeting such criteria, the Board shall
maintain, on a timely basis, a list to be readily available to state and local
law-enforcement agencies of Class A and Class B operators who meet the Board's
criteria for providing public safety towing and recovery services.
