HCR 20 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Tustin Brothers Memorial Bridge

This bill (HCR 20) is a legislative request to name a specific bridge in Wetzel County, West Virginia, the "U.S. Tustin Brothers Memorial Bridge." It directly affects the Division of Highways, which would be asked to rename bridge number 52-250/00-003.88 (currently known as Stewart Street Bridge) and install identifying signs. The resolution commemorates Vernon and Vincent Tustin, along with five of their brothers, who all served in the U.S. military, including during the Korean Conflict. The request is purely ceremonial, with no new policy or funding changes, and seeks to honor their military service and local legacy.

MODERATE

This bill was amended to add 'Army' to the memorial bridge name, clarify that seven of eight brothers served in the military (not specifying war service), and update the sponsor list with a corrected spelling. The changes are primarily technical and formatting adjustments rather than substantive policy shifts.

TECHNICAL

Added 'Army' to the memorial bridge name in both the request and sign identification sections to specify the branch of service.

Simplified the statement about the brothers' military service by removing the detail that five served simultaneously in war, keeping only that seven of eight sons served in the United States military.

Corrected the spelling of sponsor 'Barhnhart' from 'Barnhart' in the delegate list.

Updated the bill history section to reflect it originated from the Committee on Energy and Public Works and was reported on March 10, 2025, rather than showing the original introduction date.
