HCR 2 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Amending Rule 31 of the Joint Rules of the Senate and House of Delegates.

HCR 2 amends a rule governing how West Virginia legislators name transportation infrastructure (like bridges and roads) after deceased individuals who contributed to the state. It requires all naming applications to be submitted by November 15th each year, with the Division of Highways providing location details by December 15th. The resolution must be introduced in the originating chamber by the 25th day of the legislative session, complete action by the 15th day, and be considered by the 52nd day. This procedural bill directly affects legislators and citizens submitting naming requests, streamlining the process with strict deadlines.
