SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 27
(By Senators Hunter and Unger)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the
coordination of state laws and regulations governing the
handling and disposal of wrecked or dismantled vehicles.
Whereas, West Virginia has a confusing array of laws and
regulations governing the handling of wrecked or dismantled
vehicles; and
Whereas, The Division of Highways has regulatory authority
over the licensing of salvage yards, dismantlers and rebuilders of
wrecked vehicles; and
Whereas, There is a need for increased coordination among
government agencies and additional oversight to address the problem
of wrecked or dismantled vehicles blighting our state; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study the coordination of state laws and regulations
governing the handling and disposal of wrecked or dismantled
vehicles; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance is hereby requested to study the interaction of state
agencies in implementing these laws, including the Division of Highways' enforcement of state rights-of-way and the Department of
Environmental Protection's monitoring of potential water quality
issues arising from this problem; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2006, 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.
