Relating to authorizing the Division of Highways to promulgate a legislative rule relating to small wireless facilities on Division of Highways rights-of-way

HB 2276 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Highways to create specific rules for small wireless facilities (like 5G cell equipment) on highway rights-of-way. It directly affects telecom companies seeking to install such infrastructure along state roads. The bill formally approves an existing regulatory rule (157 CSR 13) that the Division of Highways had previously proposed, allowing it to manage permits and placement standards for these small facilities. This streamlines the process for deploying wireless networks while maintaining state oversight of highway property.
