Raising fee for registration of agent of issuer

Senate Bill 512 increases the registration fee for agents of issuers from $66 to $70. This bill directly affects individuals who sell securities on behalf of issuers (companies issuing stocks/bonds) and must register with West Virginia's securities regulator. The key change is a $4 fee increase for these agents during initial registration or renewal. The bill makes no other changes to registration requirements, qualifications, or oversight mechanisms. This is a straightforward fee adjustment impacting securities professionals operating in West Virginia.
