This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to establish protections for counties receiving funding from the State Road Construction Account. Specifically, it inserts a provision stating that funding received by the counties listed in the bill from the State Road Fund cannot be modified as a result of receiving funds from the State Road Construction Account. The counties affected include Raleigh, Fayette, Wyoming, Mercer, Kanawha, Greenbrier, Monroe, Summers, McDowell, and Nicholas.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Division of Highways conduct a study to assess any funding disputes that may have arisen from the effective date of this section until January 1, 2026. This aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution of road construction funds, thereby safeguarding the financial interests of the counties involved.
