Bill Summary
Towing and recovery operators; prohibited acts; employing unregistered tow truck drivers. Prohibits towing and recovery operators from employing tow truck drivers who are not registered with the Department of Criminal Justice Services, as required under current law. Limits the requirement that a registered tow truck driver have his registration in his possession when driving a tow truck to when such driving is for hire.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Virginia law to prohibit towing and recovery operators from employing tow truck drivers who are not registered with the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), a requirement already in place for individual drivers. The DCJS is responsible for registering tow truck drivers, ensuring they meet certain criteria, and can deny registration based on criminal history. This change specifically targets the operators, making it illegal for them to hire drivers who haven't gone through the required registration process with the DCJS, reinforcing the existing regulations for tow truck driver qualifications.
