HB 2476: Driver's licenses; revocation of driving privileges in other jurisdictions.

Allows a person whose driving privileges were permanently revoked in another jurisdiction as a result of being convicted of a crime to petition a circuit court to reinstate his driving privileges. The bill provides that a petition cannot be filed until five years have passed from the date of the conviction resulting in the permanent revocation and that the person must have been a Virginia resident for at least one year at the time the petition is filed. The bill authorizes a court that reinstates a person's driving privileges to impose conditions on such person if the conviction resulting in the permanent revocation involved the operation of a motor vehicle and either drugs or alcohol.

HB 2273: Blind parents; custody or visitation rights.

Provides that a blind parent's blindness, as defined in the bill, shall not be the sole basis of the denial or restriction of such parent's custody or visitation rights. The bill requires a party who alleges that a parent's blindness should be a factor to be considered to not be in the best interests of the child, or should otherwise be a reason to deny or restrict such a parent's custody or visitation rights, to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the child's best interests would not be met or served due to such parent's blindness. The bill allows a blind parent to demonstrate how supportive parenting services would appropriately address any threats to the child's best interests and further allows that such services be ordered by the court. The bill requires a court to make written findings where the court denies or restricts custody or visitation of a blind parent or where supportive parenting services are not ordered. The same requirements apply to the denial of approval of a blind prospective foster parent, or removal of a child from a blind foster parent's home, and to the denial of a final order of adoption wherein the prospective adoptive parent is blind.
