SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 12
(By Senator Ross)

Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to make a study of bringing chapter seventeen-c of the code of West Virginia into conformance with the uniform vehicle code.

Whereas, The last major revision to chapter seventeen-c of the code of West Virginia was in 1951; and
Whereas, Since that time, a number of new geometric design features and traffic control devices have been implemented by highway and traffic engineers; and
Whereas, It would be desirable to update and revise chapter seventeen-c of the code of West Virginia so that it provides better guidance to law-enforcement personnel and provides uniformity in enforcement of traffic regulations from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to review, examine and study bringing chapter seventeen-c of the code of West Virginia into conformance with the uniform vehicle code and to make recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2000, on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
