SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Toll violations; reciprocity agreements; enforcement. Allows the Commonwealth to enter into agreements with other states to provide for the enforcement of tolling violations occurring in Virginia on out-of-state residents and to enforce tolling violations in other states on Virginia residents. Reciprocity agreements with other states would provide for notification of the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or other similar entity in another state so that violators who have not paid would have their registration suspended in accordance with the agreement. The bill allows for agreements between toll operators or high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes operators and DMV to include necessary information to enforce reciprocity agreements. The bill states that a toll violation on the HOT lanes is a traffic infraction and that a HOT lanes operator shall mail the statutorily required invoice for unpaid tolls, as is the case for other toll violations. The bill clarifies references to the issuance of summonses for toll violations. The bill provides for a two-year statute of limitations for all toll violations. The bill contains technical amendments. This bill was incorporated into HB 1069.
