Advanced but did not cross the finish line (relevant to trucking)

• HB 2571 – Tow company access to registration data (24/7)
  Would grant PSC-regulated towing/recovery companies round-the-clock access to driver/vehicle owner info to reduce storage charges while owner is located. Passed House, went to Senate Finance (April 7) but no final passage. Practical impact if reintroduced: quicker owner notification and potentially lower storage disputes. West Virginia Legislature+2West Virginia Legislature+2
• HB 2645 – Parkways toll increase procedures
  Would require stricter, nondiscretionary procedures and public hearings in each Turnpike county before toll/fee increases. Moved through committees and on Senate agenda late session; no final enactment recorded. Practical impact if revived: more transparency before future toll changes affecting motor carriers. West Virginia Legislature+2West Virginia Legislature+2
• SB 358 – DMV rule (disclosure of information)
  Authorization bill to allow DMV to promulgate a legislative rule on disclosure of info from DMV files; relevant to carriers depending on data flows. Status: introduced/tracked; no completed action citeable as law. LegiScan
