reports the following good news:
I am happy to report that hb1873 (military licensing) and hb 1906 (modulating brake lights) both passed the House of Delegates unanimously and also passed the Senate unanimously. They now head to the governor for his signature. Thank you to all who helped pass the two pieces of legislation which will now become law in Virginia.
House Bill 1873 requires DMV to issue an M endorsement by mail to military personnel who are residents of Virginia but stationed outside of the Commonwealth provided that they have completed a military approved basic rider course. Currently, military personnel stationed outside Virginia must return to the Commonwealth, either take and pass the written test, wait 30 days and return to take and pass the skills test, or return to Virginia and successfully complete a Basic Rider Course licensed by Virginia DMV.
House Bill 1906 allows modulating brake lights on motorcycles.
Remember, you can keep track of these bills as well as other important pieces of legislation at vcomonline.org.
