Bill Summary
Local motor vehicle licenses and motor vehicle registrations; failure to pay certain taxes, fees, and parking citations. Provides that certain suspension of local motor vehicle licenses and motor vehicle registrations for failure to pay certain taxes, fees, and parking citations apply only to vehicles for which such unpaid taxes, fees, and citations are assessed and owed. Under current law, such suspensions are permitted for unpaid taxes, fees, and citations on any vehicle owned by the person who is liable for such a tax, fee, or citation.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Virginia law regarding local motor vehicle licenses and registrations by changing how unpaid taxes, fees, and parking citations affect a person's ability to register or renew their vehicle. Previously, if a person owed certain local taxes, fees, or parking citations, their vehicle registration could be suspended for *any* vehicle they owned, not just the one associated with the debt. This bill amends the law to ensure that such suspensions or refusals to issue or renew a registration only apply to the specific motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or dwelling unit (tangible personal property used as a dwelling) for which the unpaid taxes, fees, or parking citations are assessed and owed. This means that if you have unpaid parking tickets on one car, the state will now only prevent you from registering *that specific car*, rather than all vehicles you might own.
