Allowing municipalities to complete work previously requested to DOH
SB 46 allows West Virginia municipalities to complete road and infrastructure projects that were previously requested from the state Division of Highways (DOH). Municipalities would now be authorized to finish such work themselves and receive payment for it, as specified in the bill's amendment to state code. This change directly affects local governments that have had prior requests for highway maintenance or construction submitted to the DOH. The bill modifies existing law to clarify payment mechanisms for these completed projects, shifting responsibility for certain roadwork from the state agency to local municipalities.
