Allowing the Division of Highways to contract out snow removal to private companies on secondary roads in Monongalia and Preston counties.
HB 2960 allows West Virginia's Division of Highways to hire private companies for snow removal on secondary roads in Monongalia and Preston counties, replacing the previous requirement to use state crews. This policy change directly affects residents and road users in those two counties by altering how local snow clearing is managed. The key provision removes the restriction preventing the Division from contracting with private firms for these specific roads. The bill became law on April 30, 2025, after approval by the governor.

MINOR
The amendment changes a procedural detail in the bill by replacing the word 'Secretary' with 'Commissioner' in one specific section regarding performance evaluations. This technical correction likely clarifies which official has the authority to make decisions about snow removal vendor performance under the pilot program.
