The bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to give individuals conducting electronic transactions the option to make a voluntary contribution to the Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program in addition to existing options that include contributions to the Virginia donor registry and the public awareness fund.

The sponsor told the subcommittee this would “make this the third option for an individual who is using the DMV’s electronic services,” and described the concept as new for the chamber: “This is a new concept. We do not have a cognate in the House of Delegates.”

No in‑room or virtual witnesses registered either in support or opposition during the hearing. The subcommittee moved and seconded the motion to report the bill; after the roll call the clerk recorded the report tally as 6‑1.

The hearing record did not include details on implementation mechanics, cost estimates, or how the DMV should display the option during the transaction flow; the sponsor noted that the change is limited to adding the voluntary contribution option for electronic DMV transactions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Department of Motor Vehicles Subcommittee Tuesday, Feb 11, 2025 7:39 AM - 8:11 AM","oneSentenceSummary","Senate Bill 1024, patroned by Senator Rome, would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to offer a voluntary contribution option to the Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program during electronic transactions; the Transportation DMV Subcommittee reported the bill 6‑1.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature VA, Virginia","taxId",77687,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341125,"Subcommittee extends sunset that defines ‘public aircraft’ to 2030",78,1709000,1787000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258100-e8bd443e3ddb3c453cc921f0f3ee1f35&start=1709&end=1787","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258100-e8bd443e3ddb3c453cc921f0f3ee1f35/thumbnail_1709000.jpg","/articles/6341125/Virginia/Subcommittee-extends-sunset-that-defines-public-aircraft-to-2030","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341125-8d37a0a50fbafd6e4e7b798f95c4b729/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432447&Signature=TbzrBslWXewxTiK8k21w8QPcBMb1AxBhBtr32SSIz3UGPg9dr9O~VoQNW3t1hjaKxlmic-Xlt3R1YBY2k3VVuqiuFzqhY2PwEmWEVUATlhacRnqfKJ38AUQDWK7JPJSRkOU2VI6iJsBiWJeRsxqbGnvMIarz14X36yfR3TolAJCP~r7kkrN7HF-81w9BPcjb3-OynGlrKcwzpDIa8hkhhOTfP2JmHq9385YkFqJWWQQbwzb3S9NRDeaJzTuoijrToxlQw8HBW8M8yZfnBGjd3aVdMNCMfeWPOXhbZWQT5dxuDxlmpP4Fj349pKPKstIpJhKO7Jndt4QuYLrtxqCxUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 741 was reported out of the Transportation DMV Subcommittee by a unanimous 7‑0 vote. The bill would extend the sunset date for changes made to the definition of “public aircraft” from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030; the sponsor noted the prior extension moved the sunset from Sept. 1, 2023, to July 1, 2025 after the 2022 session.

A representative for Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC), Michelle Satterlund, told the subcommittee the measure “simply extends the sunset” and that supporters “are very much in support of it.” The bill was introduced for ATAC by Senator Locke, the presenter said.

No opposition speakers registered during the in‑room or virtual testimony portions. The subcommittee moved and seconded a motion to report the bill, the clerk opened and closed the roll and recorded the 7‑0 vote to report SB 741 to the next stage.

Supporters framed the extension as an operational necessity for contractors and a contributor to broader security interests; no changes to operational or regulatory duties beyond the sunset extension were described during the hearing.","Senate Bill 741, extending the sunset date for recent changes to the statutory definition of \"public aircraft,\" was reported unanimously (7‑0) out of the Transportation DMV Subcommittee after supporters said the extension supports national-security and operational continuity for affected companies.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341131,"Subcommittee advances bill to align duration of driver privilege cards with standard licenses",389,1312000,1701000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258100-e8bd443e3ddb3c453cc921f0f3ee1f35&start=1312&end=1701","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258100-e8bd443e3ddb3c453cc921f0f3ee1f35/thumbnail_1312000.jpg","/articles/6341131/Virginia/Subcommittee-advances-bill-to-align-duration-of-driver-privilege-cards-with-standard-licenses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341131-49e399477c69eed3ec298a3b072731b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432447&Signature=kpTOsxjTLNpjA7eLsGroP17~wpuwLG56jGG9kbNYtQpackF-va3zX6cfNPs6DxY5ZsHLltmdZJOwspA-Y4FXTohx4Bbl0elRO9lt6mLSdvUDgw~8O6NqST6uLpa4NVS~JCe9espo0cCsDuwQCOEbUI5ZkO0W7r17GxG5FOrKAqxxZA1Cq9n1UwDls94XIC7YVpYBV1urJ-6nzyDfNsdc2bFyy48XA9nlsjTEDufi~jJC1q98BopV9NrBrGTA2zJLbprHvXYuIBTBAYthpmhL3yPX~svcfkTnqnVcr2zd2tLJ7Eg9xMbfMicOCAnhrM5A8qvOhHMY8~BbCZlJrzWy1w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Virginia General Assembly Transportation DMV Subcommittee on an internal session moved Senate Bill 13‑02, patroned by Senator McPike, to report by a vote of 4 to 3. The bill would align the expiration period for driver privilege cards with the durations used for ordinary Virginia driver’s licenses (presenter cited “8 years or 5 years depending on the length”).

The measure’s sponsor told the subcommittee the change is limited to the duration of the credential and does not alter other requirements. “The only thing that changes here is the duration,” the sponsor said, adding the change is intended to reduce the frequency with which people must take time off work to renew credentials and thereby reduce the chance of driving on expired credentials.

During questioning, Delegate Anthony asked about access to personally identifying information and whether law-enforcement access or reporting requirements would change: “Can you confirm … whether law enforcement can have access to this information? Will it be subject to any additional oversight such as reporting requirements on how often and for what purpose this data will be requested?” The sponsor responded that “the existing code language provides all these protections as originally crafted when the bill was passed in 2020 … so it provides … protections for all user data.”

Supporters said the change would reduce administrative burden. Christian Martinez of CASA said the organization “greatly support[s] the bill.” Brad Cope, speaking on behalf of the Virginia Agribusiness Council, said the longer duration would help farmers who rely on temporary foreign workers who return year after year and would avoid repeated DMV visits.

Opposition speakers said the change would impair the ability of officials to distinguish citizen and noncitizen credentials and could create security risks. Melody Clark of Virginia Institute Action said, “We oppose SB 13‑02. The bill removes the limited duration identifier, making it harder for law enforcement, employers, and election officials to differentiate ID, creating security risks and administrative challenges. It erases critical distinctions between citizen and non citizen credentials, weakens eligibility verification, and extends non citizen IDs up to 16 years, allowing non citizens to retain state issued IDs far beyond the individual's legal author authorization to stay.”

The subcommittee moved and seconded a motion to report the bill; the clerk recorded the outcome as a 4‑3 report to the next stage.

The bill was described as focused on administrative efficiency and public-safety goals tied to ensuring drivers understand the rules of the road and carry insurance. No change to those substantive requirements was described in testimony.","The Transportation DMV Subcommittee voted 4-3 to report Senate Bill 13‑02, patroned by Senator McPike, which would make the duration of driver privilege cards match ordinary driver's licenses to reduce renewal frequency and administrative burden.","actionData","errors"]
