Senate adopts floor amendment to SB81 on photo speed monitoring and advances the bill
Summary
Senators adopted a floor amendment to SB81, a measure addressing enforcement of federal traffic infractions and photo speed monitoring devices (Planning District 8), and advanced the bill to third reading after floor discussion about clarifying language for Virginia uniform summonses.
The Virginia Senate adopted a floor amendment to Senate Bill 81, a measure concerning enforcement of federal traffic infractions by state and local officers and the use of photo speed monitoring devices in Planning District 8, and then advanced the bill to third reading.
The senator from Eastern Fairfax County moved to waive the reading of the floor amendment and spoke to the motion, explaining that the change was intended to incorporate a clarification requested by the Supreme Court: when a Virginia uniform summons is issued, it should state the specific local offense being cited (for example the specific speeding statute or DUI offense). The floor amendment was adopted on a voice vote and the bill was engrossed and advanced to third reading.
The calendar entry identified SB81 as reported for the committee on transportation; a floor amendment was offered and agreed to on the floor. No roll-call tally for the floor-amendment voice vote was recorded on the transcript; the chair announced the amendment adopted and the bill advanced.
SB81 will return on third reading for further consideration.
