This bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 17-2A-8, which outlines the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the Commissioner of Highways. The bill introduces a new provision that mandates the limitation of highway and roadway grinding for pothole repairs to no more than 24 hours during maintenance activities. Additionally, it removes the requirement for providing family restrooms at all rest areas along interstate highways, which was previously included in the law.

The overall purpose of this bill is to enhance road maintenance and repair practices within the state. By implementing a time constraint on pothole repairs, the bill aims to minimize disruption for motorists and improve the efficiency of road maintenance operations. The removal of the family restroom requirement suggests a shift in focus towards prioritizing immediate road repair needs over additional amenities at rest areas.
