Section 18.2-251 of the Code of Virginia was revised as it pertained to the mandatory suspension of driving privileges for an adult convicted of a first offense possession of marijuana. Previously, the law required a six-month loss of driving privileges for a person placed on deferred disposition for an offense of simple possession of marijuana. The law has been revised to provide that the court has the discretion to suspend or revoke the driver’s license of a person placed on deferred disposition for simple possession of marijuana but must suspend or revoke for six months the driver’s license of such person who was operating a motor vehicle at the time of the offense. Juveniles, however, remain subject to license suspension.
