3/21/06-A bill – SB555 – that would establish the Commonwealth Transportation Safety Fund was incorporated into a separate bill – SB393. SB393 later died in committee.

2/6/06-A bill in the Senate Finance Committee would establish the Commonwealth Transportation Safety Fund.
SB555, sponsored by Sen. Kenneth Stolle, R-Virginia Beach, would use the fund to pay for capital projects and operations necessary to improve the safety of the Commonwealth’s roads, and to provide for increased law-enforcement on Virginia’s interstates and roads through the Highway Safety Corridor Program.
Upon conviction of certain dangerous driving offenses and traffic infractions for which the Department of Motor Vehicles assigns six demerit points, a court shall order the offender to make a payment into the fund. The court shall collect the payments on behalf of the Commonwealth, and remit the payments to the fund.
