Title: VA DCJS - Tow Truck Drivers

URL: http://www.btro.vi.virginia.gov/

Description: The mission of the Board of Towing and Recovery Operators is to protect the public by setting standards of qualifications, training, and experience for those who seek to represent themselves to the public as towing and recovery professionals and promoting high standards of professional performance for those engaged in the practice of towing and recovery. The 2012 Session of the Virginia General Assembly has resulted in legislative changes to the functionality of the Board of Towing and Recovery Operators (the "Board"), and meaningful responsibilities of the Board will be absorbed by other State agencies. These changes are effective January 1, 2013. (Virginia Acts of Assembly – Chapters 803 and 835 – 2012 Session). The Board’s laws and regulations will remain in full force and effect until January 1, 2013. However, effective January 1, 2013, oversight of both drivers and operators will statutorily be provided by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services ("DCJS") and the Office of the Attorney General ("OAG)". During its 2012 Session, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation eliminating the Board of Towing and Recovery Operators (BTRO) and the towing regulations managed by BTRO. The new law became effective on January 1, 2013. However, certain responsibilities of BTRO will continue under the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). DCJS will be responsible for licensing of tow drivers only. Tow operators and companies will no longer be licensed or regulated by any state government entity. This does not impact any local governance or oversight of the towing industry.
