SB 356 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

DOH rule relating to small wireless facilities on state rights-of-way

SB 356 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Highways to implement an existing rule (157 CSR 13) governing the placement of small wireless facilities, like cell antennas, on state rights-of-way. This rule directly affects wireless service providers seeking to install equipment along state roads. The bill formally approves the previously filed regulatory rule, establishing clear terms for facility placement, maintenance, and fees without creating new policy. It does not change existing law but makes the regulatory framework official. (Procedural bill; summary limited to key facts.)
