New state laws that ban text messaging while driving and get tougher on drunken drivers take effect this week.
In a 46-day session, the General Assembly approved 879 bills, most of which take effect Wednesday.
The session will probably be best known for a measure prohibiting smoking in most restaurants and bars in Virginia. This measure will not take effect until Dec. 1 to give restaurant owners more time to prepare for the ban.
Here's a look at some highlights of laws that take effect this week:
| July 6 – 17, 2009 | Fundamentals of Crash Investigation and Reconstruction (Henrico) Henrico, VA |
| August 9 – 12, 2009 | 2009 VACP/VPCF Annual Conference Newport News, VA |
