Bill Summary
Voluntary contributions during electronic Department of Motor Vehicles transactions. Requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide a method by which an individual conducting an electronic Department transaction for the renewal of a driver's license, other form of identification issued by the Department, or vehicle registration may make a voluntary contribution to the Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program. Under current law, the Department is only required to provide a method by which voluntary contributions may be made to the Virginia Donor Registry and Public Awareness Fund.
AI Summary
This bill expands the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV) electronic transaction options by requiring the department to provide a method for individuals renewing driver's licenses, identification cards, or vehicle registrations to make voluntary monetary contributions to two specific funds. The first contribution option allows individuals to donate to the Virginia Donor Registry and Public Awareness Fund, which supports organ donation awareness. The second new option enables people to contribute to the Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program, a state initiative designed to reduce motorized and non-motorized traffic fatalities and severe injuries. When making these electronic transactions, the DMV must inform individuals that these contributions are entirely voluntary and will collect and transmit the donated funds to the respective organizations. The bill amends several sections of the Virginia Code to implement these changes, ensuring that individuals have a convenient opportunity to support important public health and safety programs during routine DMV transactions.
