TITLE 24. TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES

COMMONWEALTH TRANSPORTATION BOARD

Action Withdrawn

Title of Regulation: 24VAC30-200. Vegetation Control Regulations on State Rights-of-Way (amending 24VAC30-200-20).

Statutory Authority: § 33.2-210 of the Code of Virginia.

The Commonwealth Transportation Board has WITHDRAWN the regulatory action for 24VAC30-200, Vegetation Control Regulations on State Rights of Way, which was published as a Fast-Track Rulemaking Action in 38:10 VA.R. 892-895 January 3, 2022. The purpose of the proposed action was to allow cutting of larger trees and pruning of larger branches to make a business more visible from a highway. The board received more than the requisite 10 objections to the fast-track rulemaking process. That objection was published in 38:14 VA.R. 2108 February 28, 2022. Instead of proceeding with a three-step regulatory action for the amendments in this action, the board included the amendments in a regulatory action resulting from a periodic review of 24VAC30-200. The board adopted those final amendments on January 16, 2024, and those amendments became effective July 2, 2025. Therefore, this action is unnecessary and should be withdrawn.
