Providing guidelines for the West Virginia Parkways Authority to cease tolls on the West Virginia Turnpike upon completion of all bond payments
HB 4421 requires the West Virginia Parkways Authority to stop charging tolls on the West Virginia Turnpike once all bonds issued for the project (plus interest) have been fully paid or secured in trust. The bill mandates that toll collection must end within 90 days of the final bond payment, and all toll facilities must be removed. This directly affects drivers who use the Turnpike (by eliminating toll fees) and the Parkways Authority (which must cease toll operations). The Turnpike will then transfer to the state Division of Highways for maintenance at no cost to drivers.

MINOR
The bill text was updated to reflect its current status as an 'Engrossed Version' rather than an 'Introduced Version,' and the explanatory note regarding the bill's purpose was removed. These are primarily administrative updates to the document's metadata and status indicators rather than substantive changes to the legislation's policy, funding, or operational requirements.
TECHNICAL
Updated the document header to show 'Engrossed Version' instead of 'Introduced Version' and reversed the order of version links.
Deleted the explanatory note summarizing the bill's purpose and instructions on how to interpret strikethroughs and underscores.
