Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 54.1-104 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 54.1-104. Suspension of license, certificate, registration, permit, or authority for dishonor of fee payment; reinstatement.
The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation and
the Department of Health Professions may suspend the license, certificate,
registration, permit, or authority it has issued any person who submits a
check, money draft, or similar instrument for payment of a fee required by
statute or regulation which that is not honored by the bank or
financial institution named. The suspension shall become effective 10 days
following delivery by certified mail of written notice of the dishonor and the
impending suspension to such person's address. However, such suspension
shall only be reported as a suspension and shall not be considered or described
as a disciplinary action by the board issuing such suspension. Upon
notification of suspension, the person may reinstate the license, certificate,
registration, permit, or authority upon payment of the fee and penalties
required under statute or regulation. Suspension under this provision shall be
exempt from the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq.).
