1999 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 46.2-340 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 46.2-340. Information concerning school bus drivers and driver education instructors.
A. At the beginning of each school year, and whenever changes need to be made, each local school division shall furnish to the Department of Motor Vehicles the name, driver's license number, and commercial driver's license number of all persons driving school buses for that school division. Whenever any commercial driver's license with a school bus driver's endorsement is suspended or revoked, or the holder of a driver's license with a school bus driver's endorsement or commercial driver's license with a school bus driver's endorsement is convicted in any court of reckless driving or driving while intoxicated, the Department shall notify the affected local school division of the name and driver's license number or commercial driver's license number of the driver involved.
B. At the beginning of each school year, and whenever changes need to be made,
each local school division and private school providing a driver education program
approved by the Department of Education shall furnish to the Department of
Motor Vehicles the name and driver's license number of all persons providing instruction
in driver education for that school division or private school. Whenever a driver's
license of a person providing such instruction is suspended or revoked, or such
person is convicted in any court of reckless driving or driving while
intoxicated, the Department shall notify the affected local school division or
private school of the name and driver's license number of the driver involved.
If the driving record of such driver education instructor accumulates more than six demerit points based on convictions occurring in any calendar year, the Department shall notify the relevant local school division or private school of the name and driver’s license number of the driver. Safe driving points shall not be used to reduce the six demerit points. No driver education program in a public school division or a private school shall retain its approval by the Department of Education unless such a person who has accumulated such six demerit points is removed from providing behind-the-wheel driver education instruction in the private school or public school division for a period of twenty-four months.
C. The provisions of the Privacy Protection Act of 1976 (Chapter 26 of Title 2.1, § 2.1-377 et seq.) shall not apply to the exchange of information under this section.
