HB 4263 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Division of Motor Vehicles to promulgate a legislative rule relating to compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance.

HB 4263 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to create and implement a specific rule about required auto insurance. The bill formally approves a rule (designated as 91 CSR 13) that was modified after feedback from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and refiled in September 2025. This rule will govern the state's compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance requirements for drivers. The bill itself does not change insurance standards but grants the DMV the authority to establish and enforce these rules. It directly affects all drivers in West Virginia who must carry auto insurance.
