Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. Any study by the Virginia Department of Transportation of possible improvements to Interstate Route 66 outside the Capital Beltway (Interstate Route 495) shall include consideration of the desirability and feasibility of constructing High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes in conjunction with any such improvements.

For the purposes of this act, HOT lanes shall mean highway lanes ordinarily restricted to use by high-occupancy vehicles, but which may be used by a nonhigh-occupancy vehicle if a toll is paid by the operator for the use of the facility by such nonhigh-occupancy vehicle.

[ 2. That an emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage. ]
