Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
This bill exempts salvage yards from screening provisions which is required in accordance with 23 USC 136 should the salvage yard be located along an Interstate Highway or primary highway in the National Highway System.
Each year the DOH must certify to the Federal Government that West Virginia complies with 23 USC 136. If we cannot provide this certification, the State will annually lose 10% of federal distribution from the various Federal highway programs. This amounts to a total annual loss of $17,293,112 to the DOH.
