1998 SESSION
SB 458 Boating while under the influence.
Introduced by: Warren E. Barry | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Records; convictions for boating while under the influence. Requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to maintain the records of persons convicted of operating a watercraft or motorboat while intoxicated. These records are to be electronically made available to law-enforcement officers. The bill requires district and circuit courts to keep full records of such violations and submit these records following the procedures used under § 46.2-383 for drivers convicted of motor vehicle violations, so that such records can be incorporated into the DMV database. Currently, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) maintains records of convictions for boating under the influence. If a law-enforcement officer wants access to a record of prior convictions for drunk boating, he would have to contact DGIF. This bill will allow quicker access to such records.
