This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to clarify the procedures for the disposition of surplus materials, specifically asphalt grindings or millings, by the Commissioner of Highways. It establishes that the commissioner is responsible for disposing of obsolete and unusable equipment and surplus supplies through various methods such as transfer, exchange, or sale. The bill mandates that the commissioner adopt rules governing these disposals and conduct semiannual inventories of such materials, which must be publicly accessible for five years.

Additionally, the bill specifies that any asphalt grindings or millings removed from Division of Highways right-of-way that are not recycled for other projects will remain the property of the Division of Highways. These materials must be placed on a designated site by the local district, and if there is no need for storage, contractors may distribute them to local residents along the project right-of-way. However, the bill explicitly prohibits the sale of these materials for profit by contractors or any associated individuals.
