SB979

Requiring Division of Highways publish project bids on its website

Chamber Passed·2/27/26

West Virginia SB979 mandates the Division of Highways to publish project bids on its website.

West Virginia SB979 amends the state's Code to require the Division of Highways to publish project bids on its website. This change removes the previous requirement to publish bids in daily newspapers. The bill specifies that the publication must occur at least 14 days before any letting, and it can also be published in other approved electronic media. The commissioner retains discretion over the use of state road forces, prison labor, and state road equipment for work and materials.
