1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 46.2-410.2 as follows:
§ 46.2-410.2. License suspension or revocation by Commissioner; offenses under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the
Commissioner shall not administratively revoke or suspend the driver's license
of any person solely on the basis of receiving a record of such person's
conviction for any offense under the laws of another jurisdiction that would
otherwise require the Commissioner to revoke or suspend such person's driver's
license when such offense is substantially similar to an offense under the laws
of the Commonwealth or a county, city, or town ordinance if [ any
court of the Commonwealth the Supreme Court of Virginia or the Court
of Appeals of Virginia ] has held that the other jurisdiction's law
under which such person was convicted is not substantially similar to the laws
of the Commonwealth or a county, city, or town ordinance and such holding has
not been subsequently reversed or modified.
