AI Summary

  • Prohibits the Division of Motor Vehicles from recording convictions for speeding 10 mph or less over the limit on controlled access highways or interstate highways, preventing these violations from appearing on driving records

  • Maintains the existing $5 maximum fine plus court costs for speeding 10 mph or less over the limit on controlled access highways and interstates

  • Applies the same protection to out-of-state convictions where the speed would have been within 10 mph of West Virginia's comparable speed limit

  • Excludes commercial driver's license holders operating commercial vehicles from these protections—their speeding convictions must still be recorded

  • Amends existing language from "shall not be transmitted" to "may not be transmitted or recorded," clarifying the DMV's prohibition on recording these minor speeding offenses
