Transferring authority for racing events from county commissions to DOT

Chamber Passed·2/20/26

Transfers authority for motor vehicle racing events from county commissions to the West Virginia Department of Transportation.

This bill repeals the authority of county commissions to permit motor vehicle racing events on public roads and instead authorizes the West Virginia Department of Transportation to issue permits for such events. The Department can impose fees to cover administrative costs. Permit requirements include adequate insurance, security, emergency services, and necessary facilities. The Department is not liable for damages or injuries resulting from the events. The permittee must indemnify and hold harmless the state and the Department.
