Relating to authorizing the Division of Highways to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the use of state rights of way and adjacent areas

HB 2274 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Highways to enforce an existing legislative rule (filed August 9, 2024) governing the use of state rights of way and adjacent areas. This rule regulates activities like utility installations, construction, or public access along state roads. The bill directly affects the Division of Highways (as the enforcing agency) and entities or individuals using state right-of-way areas, such as utility companies or contractors. It formalizes authority for an already-proposed rule without creating new policy changes.
