HB 2275 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Division of Highways to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the transportation of hazardous wastes upon the roads and highways

HB 2275 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Highways to create specific rules for transporting hazardous waste on state roads and highways, referencing the existing proposed rule (157 CSR 07). This bill does not change current transportation requirements but formally approves the Division of Highways' authority to establish these rules under existing law (§22-18-7). The rule would directly affect companies transporting hazardous materials, setting standards for safety and compliance on public roads. The bill amends §64-8-1 of the West Virginia Code to confirm this authorization.
