Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 6.2-2202 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 6.2-2202. Scope of chapter.
A.

Electing to become licensed under this chapter, however, shall constitute a waiver of the benefit of any and all laws of the Commonwealth and other states, territories, possessions, and districts of the United States and federal laws preemptive of, or inconsistent with, the provisions of this chapter.
B. Neither a licensee or any third party shall not make loans under Chapter 15 (§ 6.2-1500 et seq.) at any office, suite, room, or place of business where a licensee conducts the business of making motor vehicle title loans.
C. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to extensions of credit for the sole purpose of financing the purchase of a motor vehicle, or of refinancing a purchase money loan, secured by a lien on the motor vehicle.
