Establishing Drainage Relief Fund

SB 1015 creates the Drainage Remediation Fund in West Virginia's State Treasury to address drainage issues affecting state roads. The fund, administered by the Commissioner of Highways, provides financial support for drainage projects that protect state roads, including work on private property when necessary. County commissions, municipalities, and private landowners can apply for funding but must reimburse the fund for any requested project upgrades. Unobligated funds at year's end may revert to the State Road Fund at the Commissioner's discretion.
