SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Alcohol safety action programs. Directs the membership of a local independent policy board of an alcohol safety action program to be chosen in accordance with procedures approved and promulgated by the Commission on the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) and specifies that such procedures shall provide that such board shall endeavor to select one criminal defense attorney who has specialized knowledge in representing persons charged with driving while intoxicated offenses and one local attorney for the Commonwealth to sit on such board.
The bill also provides that any court that has convicted a person of a reckless driving violation in which the defendant was initially charged with a driving while intoxicated violation shall have continuing jurisdiction over such person during any period of license revocation related to that conviction for the limited purposes of (i) referring such person to a certified alcohol safety action program; (ii) providing for a restricted driver's license permit for such person; and (iii) imposing terms, conditions, and limitations for actions related to such person's participation in a certified alcohol safety action program and use of the restricted driver's license permit. As introduced, this bill was a recommendation of the Commission on VASAP. This bill is identical to HB 2370.
