2013 SESSION
HB 1984 Non-conventional vehicles; titling and registration of mopeds, etc.
Introduced by: Joe T. May | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Non-conventional vehicles. Provides for the titling and registration of mopeds and distinctive license plates for low-speed vehicles. The bill also requires a moped operator to carry government-issued photo identification and wear a face shield, safety glasses, or goggles if his moped is not equipped with safety glass or a windshield. The bill also makes all-terrain vehicles, off-road motorcycles, and mopeds subject to the motor vehicle sales and use tax, if the owner does not show that they already paid the retail sales and use tax. The bill further classifies mopeds for valuation purposes in personal property taxation and allows localities to exempt mopeds from personal property taxation. The bill, too, replaces the term "scooter" with "foot-scooter" and makes other largely technical changes based upon recommendations made by DMV after a year-long study of Virginia's laws relating to non-conventional vehicles.
