AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to expand the duties of the Division of Capitol Police within the Virginia Department of State Police, specifically by adding a new provision that requires the division to provide security and transportation to the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General, the Speaker of the House of Delegates, and the President pro tempore of the Senate, unless these individuals choose to waive such security. This addition clarifies and formalizes the security responsibilities for these high-ranking state officials, ensuring their protection as they carry out their official duties.
