GOVERNOR'S VETO

 

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 1454, which concerns limited-duration licenses, driver privilege cards and permits, and identification privilege cards.

This bill removes the requirement that driver privilege cards have printed restrictions identical to limited duration licenses, which indicate that the card is valid only for a limited period This information is used to distinguish between legal and non-legal resident IDs.  

This bill would also enable a person permitted by the Federal government to be in the United States for a limited duration to obtain a Virginia Driver's license for a full eight-year term even though their eligibility to be legally present here may have expired. 

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
