The magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition has been studied in ultrathin Beryllium films quench-condensed near 20 K. In the zero-current limit, a finite-size scaling analysis yields the scaling exponent product vz = 1.35 +/- 0.10 and a critical sheet resistance R_{c} of about 1.2R_{Q}, with R_{Q} = h/4e^{2}. However, in the presence of dc bias currents that are smaller than the zero-field critical currents, vz becomes 0.75 +/- 0.10. This new set of exponents suggests that the field-tuned transitions with and without dc bias currents belong to different universality classes.
