This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require the Commissioner of Highways to annually prepare and present a comprehensive highway paving plan to the Legislature. The plan is intended to establish a routine schedule for repaving all normally asphalt-surfaced roads across the state. It mandates that the plan be specific to each Division of Highways district and county, with district engineers responsible for preparing the respective plans. Additionally, the bill outlines that the plan must include an assessment of the necessary equipment and personnel to achieve its goals, as well as an estimate of the funding required for implementation.

The new legal language added to the existing law includes provisions that detail the components of the paving plan, such as establishing a routine schedule for each class of paved highways and informing the Legislature about budgeting considerations. There are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the bill. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the maintenance and management of the state's highway system by ensuring a structured approach to repaving efforts.
