This bill amends West Virginia Code 17C-6-1 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 introduces new language indicating that such abstracts may not be transmitted to the Division of Motor Vehicles, or if they are transmitted, they may not be recorded.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that these provisions do not apply to individuals with a commercial driver's license if the offense occurred while operating a commercial vehicle. This change aims to reduce the penalties and administrative burdens for minor speeding violations on controlled access highways and interstate highways, thereby potentially preventing the accumulation of points on a driver's record for minor infractions.
