Introduced by: Jeffrey L. McWaters | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Regulation of motor carriers by DMV; commercial driver’s licenses.  Revises statutes relating to motor carriers, including requiring DMV to simply notify localities of the issuance of overweight and oversize permits and eliminating the requirement for for-hire contract passenger carriers and irregular-route common carriers to prove public convenience and necessity when applying for a license. The bill also updates Virginia law on commercial driver’s licenses to comply with federal requirements. This bill is identical to HB 1945.
