HB 1110 – Definition of Owner The “Owner” or person responsible for an invoice or summons from a toll facility operator is the renter or the lessee, not the rental or leasing company. The definition is unclear in the code. Currently, if a vehicle rental or leasing company receives an invoice or summons, they will dismiss it because Section A says that “owner does not mean a vehicle rental or vehicle leasing company.” The toll facility operator must then direct the vehicle leasing or rental company to Section M, which releases them of responsibility if they provide information on the renter or lessee, the actual “Owner.” This bill clarifies “Owner” in Section A with language referring to the section on rental and leasing companies (Section M).

Definition of “Owner” for rental and leased vehicles in Code Section 46.2-819.3:1 is unclear. Section A: "Owner" means the registered owner of a vehicle on record with the Department of Motor Vehicles or with the equivalent agency in another state. "Owner" does not mean a vehicle rental or vehicle leasing company. Section M: Any vehicle rental or vehicle leasing company, if it receives an invoice for unpaid toll or is named in a summons, shall be released as a party to the action if it provides the operator of the toll facility a copy of the vehicle rental agreement or lease or an affidavit identifying the renter or lessee within 30 days of receipt of the invoice or summons. Issue: Vehicle rental and leasing companies dismiss original summons due to the definition of “Owner” in Section A before being directed to Section M and ultimately complying causing added expense and unnecessary administrative burdens. Suggested Edit: Definition of “Owner” in Section A provide reference to Section M provided that the requirements of Section M are met.
