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 introduces new provisions that require the commissioner to dispose of obsolete and unusable equipment and surplus supplies through transfer, exchange, trade, or sale, while also mandating the adoption of rules governing these processes. The bill specifies that the commissioner must conduct semiannual inventories of disposable items and maintain public records of these inventories for five years.

Additionally, the bill establishes that any asphalt grindings or millings removed from Division of Highways right-of-way, which are not intended for recycling, 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. However, the bill explicitly prohibits the sale of these materials for profit by contractors or any associated individuals.
