Requiring the Commissioner of Highways to develop a formula for allocating road funds among districts

HB 5013 requires West Virginia's Commissioner of Highways to create a formula for distributing road funds among counties. It mandates setting aside 20% of the state road fund to reimburse counties for local funds spent on feeder and state local roads (like county-maintained roads), with reimbursements distributed either on a matching basis or proportionally if requests exceed the allocated amount. The remaining 80% of funds must be allocated for road maintenance and construction based on road types (paved, gravel, or unimproved) and unimproved road mileage. The formula must consider specific factors and be submitted to the Legislature for approval, with public meetings required to gather input on the distribution method.
