Requesting a study on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Public Service Commission of West Virginia.

The West Virginia Senate has requested the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study the effectiveness and efficiency of the Public Service Commission in carrying out its statutory duties and exercising its legal authority. The study will examine the commission's regulation of public utilities, review of rate increases, timeliness and transparency of its deliberative process, accountability of public utilities, and adequacy of its organizational structure. The study will also consider whether commission members should be elected by voters instead of appointed by the Governor.
