The bill amends and reenacts sections of the Code of West Virginia to authorize various agencies within the Department of Transportation to promulgate legislative rules. Specifically, it allows the Division of Highways to create rules regarding the construction and reconstruction of state roads, the use of state road rights-of-way, the transportation of hazardous wastes, and the installation of small wireless facilities. Additionally, the Division of Motor Vehicles is granted authority to establish rules related to driving privileges, information disclosure, handicapped placards, and a safety and treatment program. The Parkways Authority is also authorized to implement rules for electronic toll collection and enforcement.

Key insertions in the bill include specific rule numbers for the Division of Highways (157 CSR 03, 157 CSR 06, 157 CSR 07, and 157 CSR 13) and for the Division of Motor Vehicles (91 CSR 05, 91 CSR 08, 91 CSR 10, 91 CSR 15, and 91 CSR 24). A notable amendment to the Division of Motor Vehicles' rules includes a provision for credit for revocation or suspension periods served in other jurisdictions, allowing for potential relief for non-commercial license holders under certain conditions. The bill is effective immediately upon passage.
