Governor (Exec. Order), Vol. 34 Iss. 3 Oct 02, 2017
EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER SEVENTY ONE (2017)
DIRECTING THE COMMISSIONER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO EXTEND THE VALIDITY OF EXPIRING DRIVER'S LICENSES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS
On Saturday, September 2, 2017, information technology equipment managed by Northrop Grumman failed, causing interruptions to the electronic services provided by the Commonwealth's data center. This disruption greatly impacted the ability of many Virginians to renew their driver's licenses and other documents. This unforeseen disruption of services places citizens at risk of suffering fines and other costs resulting from their inability to timely renew their driver's licenses and other documents.
In order to prevent any further hardship to the citizens of Virginia, and in accordance with my authority contained in §§ 46.2-330(A) and 46.2-345 of the Code of Virginia, I hereby order the following measures:
• I hereby direct the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles, and such other executive branch agencies as they may deem appropriate in their discretion, to extend the validity period of Virginia driver's licenses, learner's permits, commercial driver's licenses, and special identification cards issued by the Commonwealth that expire September 2, 2017, through September 4, 2017, until September 11, 2017.
This Executive Order shall be effective retroactively from September 2, 2017, and shall remain in full force and effect until September 11, 2017.
Given under my hand and under the Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia, this 6th day of September, 2017.
EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER SEVENTY TWO (2017)

D. The activation, implementation, and coordination of appropriate mutual aid agreements and compacts, including the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), and the authorization of the State Coordinator of Emergency Management to enter into any other supplemental agreements, pursuant to § 44-146.17(5) and § 44-146.28:1 of the Code of Virginia, to provide for the evacuation and reception of injured and other persons and the exchange of medical, fire, police, National Guard personnel and equipment, public utility, reconnaissance, welfare, transportation, and communications personnel, equipment, and supplies. The State Coordinator of Emergency Management is hereby designated as Virginia's authorized representative within the meaning of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, § 44-146.28:1 of the Code of Virginia.
G. The foregoing overweight/over width transportation privileges as well as the regulatory exemption provided by § 52-8.4(A) of the Code of Virginia, and implemented in 19VAC30-20-40(B) of the “Motor Carrier Safety Regulations,” shall remain in effect for 30 days from the onset of the disaster, or until emergency relief is no longer necessary, as determined by the Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security in consultation with the Secretary of Transportation, whichever is earlier.
H. The authorization of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services to grant a temporary waiver of the maximum vapor pressure prescribed in regulation 2VAC5-425 et seq., and to prescribe a vapor pressure limit the Commissioner deems reasonable.
