HB 2555 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Revising ethical standards for the public service commission

HB 2555 revises ethical standards for West Virginia's Public Service Commission, directly affecting its commissioners. The bill requires commissioners to publish their financial statements online annually, updates criteria for determining actions that serve the "public interest," and repeals outdated provisions like §§24-1-1a and 24-1-1b. It also mandates that commission members follow the state's code of judicial conduct, aligning their conduct with broader public ethics standards. These changes aim to increase transparency and clarify ethical expectations for utility regulators.
