9/27/06-The House Courts of Justice Committee has incorporated HB5081 into a similar bill – HB5061.

9/22/06-A bill expected to draw consideration during the four-day special session on transportation that starts Wednesday, Sept. 27, would take a hard-line approach to truckers caught with over-height vehicles at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel.
Virginia law calls for $500 fines and authorizes judges to add three demerit points to a commercial driver’s license. It takes 18 demerits in one year to trigger a license suspension.
Sponsored by Delegate John Cosgrove, R-Chesapeake, HB5081 would suspend violators’ licenses for 30 days.
