HB 5612 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to property valuations of properties located on the State Capitol Complex

HB 5612 removes the requirement for the state to establish market value for properties on the West Virginia State Capitol Complex. It amends a law requiring state agencies to identify unused or underused properties and report them to the Real Estate Division for review. The bill does not change the process for valuing other state-owned properties, only specifically exempts Capitol Complex properties from the market valuation requirement. This directly affects state agencies managing Capitol Complex properties and the Real Estate Division’s annual property review process.

MINOR

The bill text was converted from a draft amendment proposal into the final enrolled version, adding official legislative signatures and certification. The substantive policy content regarding real property reviews and the removal of market value requirements remains unchanged. The primary change is the formalization of the document for enactment rather than a modification of the law's substance.

TECHNICAL

Added official enrolled text including signatures from the House Speaker, Senate President, and Governor, along with certification by clerks.

Removed the delegate's motion to amend the title and the draft status indicators.

Replaced draft headers and navigation elements with the final 'Enrolled Version' title and legislative metadata.
