1.  That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 46.2-398.1 as follows:

§ 46.2-398.1. Issuance of restricted driver's privilege to out-of-state licensees.

When the operator of any motor vehicle who is not licensed to drive in Virginia, but who has a valid driver's license from another jurisdiction, is convicted of any violation for which license suspension and issuance of a restricted license to a Virginia driver is authorized, the court may issue him a restricted driving privilege in Virginia upon the same conditions as if the person held a valid Virginia license. The court shall not take possession of the person's driver's license. The court order, and any writing or communication setting forth the person's restricted privilege, shall include clear language indicating that the person is not a licensed Virginia driver.
