WV HB4994

Authorizes the Division of Highways to provide full reimbursement for utility line relocations, regardless of prior rights, when utilities complete physical relocation by the established deadline

Requires the Division to provide written notice to utilities specifying eligibility for full reimbursement, the completion deadline, and any additional requirements

Establishes a voluntary reimbursement agreement option for utilities that lack adequate staff, equipment, or capital to perform relocations, requiring full repayment within two years of highway project completion

Holds utilities liable for direct contract damages if they fail to meet relocation deadlines, unless delays result from Division failures, plan changes, unavailability of materials, extreme weather, or other causes beyond the utility's control

Requires utilities to submit work plans and coordinate with the Division on relocation timelines, with up to 18 months notice provided for removal, relocation, or adjustment of utility lines
