Prohibits candidates for public office from running if they have unpaid taxes.

West Virginia HB4764 mandates that candidates for public office must file financial disclosure statements with the state Ethics Commission. If these statements reveal delinquent unpaid taxes, the candidate is barred from running for office. The bill also requires the Ethics Commission to publish these statements online, excluding personal information. The commission can extend the filing deadline for a reasonable period if good cause is shown.
