Accordingly, we are unable to accurately assess the likely financial impacts of the proposed legislation.

The State Auditor’s Office would recommend the submission of a Fiscal Note Request to the Public Service Commission of West Virginia acting in its capacity as the most likely repository for the information needed to accurately assess the financial impact of this proposed legislation.
