Virginia HB 1137

Renewal of licenses; persons serving in the armed services on active duty outside the Commonwealth. Authorizes any person serving in the armed services of the United States on active duty who will be serving outside the Commonwealth at the time of the expiration of his valid driver's license to request the Department of Motor Vehicles (the Department) to send the notice of renewal required under current law, that includes information regarding whether he must be reexamined and when he may be reexamined, more than one year prior to his driver's license's expiration. The bill requires the Department to (i) send such notice of renewal within two business days of receipt of such request and (ii) if such person provides the date of his departure from the Commonwealth in such request, ensure that the time when he may be reexamined, if applicable, occurs prior to his departure from the Commonwealth, such that he may renew his driver's license prior to his departure.
