This bill amends and reenacts section 64-8-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to promulgate a legislative rule concerning various aspects of driving privileges. Specifically, the rule addresses issues such as denial, suspension, revocation, disqualification, restriction, non-renewal, cancellation, administrative appeals, and reinstatement of driving privileges. The legislative rule was initially filed in the State Register on August 14, 2024, and was modified to meet the objections of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 2, 2024.

The bill aims to streamline the process and clarify the authority of the DMV in managing driving privileges, ensuring that the rules are up-to-date and reflective of current needs. The new legal language introduced in this bill emphasizes the DMV's role in regulating these critical aspects of driving, thereby enhancing the overall governance of motor vehicle operations in West Virginia.
