referred  \nto the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure; and then to the Committee on Finance]  \nFISCAL NOTE  \nIntr SB 482 2026R2169  \n1 A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding a new article, 2 designated § 17B-8-1, § 17B-8-2, § 17B-8-3, § 17B-8-4, § 17B-8-5, § 17B-8-6, § 17B-8-7, 3 § 17B-8-8, § 17B-8-9, § 17B-8-10, § 17B-8-11, § 17B-8-12, § 17B-8-13, § 17B-8-14, § 17B-8- 4 15, § 17B-8-16, § 17B-8-17, and § 17B-8-18, relating to creating the West Virginia Driver  \n5 Safety Modernization Act; providing legislative findings; definitions; age-based renewal  \n6 and screening requirements for advanced age; establishing a medical review unit, due  \n7 process, appeals and appeal, and authority of the medical review unit; providing for  \n8 mandatory medical reporting, immunity, and confidentiality; permitting voluntary medical  \n9 reporting and driver concern reports; confidentiality of medical information with limitation  \n10 on use; requirement of periodic medical certification; providing for wrong way incident  \n11 reporting and law-enforcement procedures; providing for temporary restrictions and  \n12 review; reinstatement, license restrictions, and appeals; providing for senior mobility  \n13 planning and safe-driving longevity resources and mature driver safety course incentive;  \n14 requiring the Division of Highways to identify and evaluate all interchanges, ramps, and  \n15 divided-highway access points where a wrong-way incident has occurred within the prior  \n16 10 years; and providing for interagency data-sharing for roadway safety and driver review, 17 rule-making authority and legislative review.  \nBe it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:  \nARTICLE 8. THE WEST VIRGINIA DRIVER SAFETY MODERNIZATION ACT.  \n§17B-8-1. Short title; legislative findings; purpose.  \n1  (a) This article shall be known and may be cited as \"The West Virginia Driver Safety  \n2  Modernization Act.\"  \n3  (b) The Legislature finds that:  \n4  (1) West Virginia’s population includes a significant and growing number of drivers whose  \n5  medical conditions, functional limitations, or age-related factors may affect their ability to safely  \n6  operate a motor vehicle;  \nIntr SB 482 2026R2169  \n7  (2) The state has experienced incidents, including wrong-way entries onto divided  \n8  highways and other serious driving-confusion events, which demonstrate the need for a  \n9  modernized and evidence-based system to identify and evaluate drivers whose medical or  \n10  cognitive conditions may impair safe driving;  \n11  (3) Existing provisions of this code require periodic medical certification for certain  \n12  restricted-vision drivers pursuant to §17B-2-7 of this code; and the Legislature finds that a broader, 13  medically-grounded driver review system is necessary and that such system should employ  \n14  procedures consistent with those established for restricted-vision drivers;  \n15  (4) A system of functional screening, medical reporting, periodic medical certification, and  \n16  individualized restrictions protects public safety while preserving the dignity, mobility, and  \n17  independence of drivers who remain fit to operate a motor vehicle;  \n18  (5) National driver-safety research indicates that all drivers, regardless of age, may  \n19  experience medical, cognitive, or functional impairment affecting driving ability; and therefore, any  \n20  review or monitoring process must be based on demonstrated functional ability and medically  \n21  substantiated conditions rather than age alone;  \n22  (6) Modernizing West Virginia’s driver-review and medical-reporting framework will reduce  \n23  preventable collisions, protect road users, and provide clear procedures for drivers, medical  \n24  providers, law enforcement, the Division of Motor Vehicles, and the Division of Highways;  \n25","cbCaipAy0svNXOLl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipAy0svNXOLl","pdf",179311,21,"English","# Fiscal Note\n# Legislative Findings and Purpose\n## Article 8 - Short Title and Findings\n## Driver Fitness Review System Goals\n## Medical Review, Reporting, and Confidentiality\n## Wrong-Way Incident Reporting and Procedures","[{\"question\":\"What is Senate Bill 482 intended to create?\",\"answer\":\"It creates the West Virginia Driver Safety Modernization Act by establishing a medically informed driver fitness review system and related procedures, including medical review and reporting mechanisms.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the bill address medical reporting and confidentiality?\",\"answer\":\"It provides for mandatory medical reporting with immunity and confidentiality, permits voluntary medical reporting and driver concern reports, and limits use of medical information while requiring confidentiality safeguards.\"},{\"question\":\"What procedures does the bill establish for drivers related to wrong-way incidents?\",\"answer\":\"It requires wrong-way incident reporting and includes law-enforcement procedures, temporary restrictions with review, reinstatement and license restriction processes, and appeals.\"}]","Senate Bill 482 - West Virginia Driver Safety Modernization Act Fiscal Note | PDF",1790698370,53]
