Bill overview
This bill aims to classify Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as telecommunications utilities under West Virginia law. This means the Public Service Commission (PSC) will have regulatory authority over ISPs, similar to how they regulate other utilities like telephone and electricity companies. The bill also clarifies the PSC’s jurisdiction regarding electric generating facilities and addresses specific provisions related to municipal power systems and broadband internet access.
