HB 4541 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

To require DOH, when abandoning a right of way, to notify the legislative representatives in the county or counties in which this right of way is located via email and first class mail in addition to publication in the newspaper

HB 4541 requires the West Virginia Commissioner of Highways to notify state legislators representing the county or counties where a road or highway is located via email or first-class mail when abandoning a road or highway, in addition to existing requirements of website posting and newspaper publication. This bill directly affects state legislators by adding a new communication channel for road abandonment decisions. The key change is mandating direct notification to legislators through email or mail, supplementing current public notice methods.
