This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to stipulate that if a person is convicted of driving above the speed limit on a controlled access highway or interstate highway at a speed of 10 miles per hour or less over the limit, a certified abstract of the judgment for that conviction may not be recorded by the Division of Motor Vehicles. The bill also clarifies that this provision does not apply to individuals with a commercial driver's license if the offense occurred while operating a commercial vehicle.
Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding the transmission of certified abstracts of judgments for similar offenses committed in other states, allowing for the same non-recording condition under specific circumstances. The changes aim to reduce the impact of minor speeding violations on a driver's record, particularly for those driving at speeds only slightly above the limit.
