SB 213 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Providing PSC jurisdiction over internet service providers

SB 213 would give West Virginia's Public Service Commission (PSC) authority to regulate internet service providers (ISPs). The bill requires ISPs to provide reliable, safe service under fair terms and allows customers to file complaints with the PSC about inadequate service or unfair practices. The PSC could enforce these standards by imposing fines of up to $7,000 per violation for non-compliance. This directly affects ISPs operating in West Virginia and their residential and business customers.
