Additionally, by targeting only good time as a possible sanction, many of the prisoners who violate this section are not subject to any sanction because they have life sentences and cannot earn good time and therefore cannot lose good time. This amendment would allow such filings, once found to be contrary to the prohibited conduct by a court, to then be addressed in the same manner as other prison discipline. This would allow courts to effectively screen cases while allowing prison officials to address discipline, and would close the loophole in existence for offenders with life sentences. The purpose of the new section is to impose upon prisoners an incentive to stop and think about the merits of advancing an administrative complaint. Prisoners currently have no disincentive to file such actions. Unlike professionals in free society who can often refuse to provide further service, a professional in a prison setting cannot refuse to provide services to a prisoner prone to file complaints against his or her license.","status_desc":"Introduced","status_date":"2012-01-13","last_action":"To House Judiciary","last_action_date":"2012-01-13","committee":"Judiciary","chamber":"House","url":"https://legiscan.com/WV/bill/HB4057/2012","state_link":"http://www.legis.state.wv.us/Bill_Status/Bills_history.cfm?input=4057&year=2012&sessiontype=RS&btype=bill","sponsor":"David Perry"},

Under the proposed bill, any requirement of state law describing or requiring that a land record document be an original, on paper, or in writing are satisfied by a document in electronic form. In addition, any requirement that the document contain a signature or acknowledgment is satisfied by an electronic signature or acknowledgment. The bill authorizes the clerk to accept electronic documents for recording and to index and store those documents. The article does not provide a means of funding the establishment or operation of an electronic recording system. No single approach is recommended and in fact, the commissioners recognized that the best approach for a state may involve multiple systems. The bill requires the Real Property Electronic Recording Standards Council to develop a legislative rule containing standards for electronic recording to be used by each county. The standards are to be developed with a vision toward fostering intra-and interstate harmony and uniformity in the electronic recording process. The council will engage in a stakeholder type rule-making process to assure that all of the affected parties have the opportunity to participate in the process.","status_desc":"Introduced","status_date":"2012-01-20","last_action":"Senator Tucker requests to be removed as sponsor of bill","last_action_date":"2012-01-23","committee":null,"chamber":"Senate","url":"https://legiscan.com/WV/bill/SB363/2012","state_link":"http://www.legis.state.wv.us/Bill_Status/Bills_history.cfm?input=363&year=2012&sessiontype=RS&btype=bill","sponsor":"Orphy Klempa"},

The securitization mechanism authorized in the bill would permit commission approved expanded net energy costs, which are generally recoverable in a utility's rates, to be recovered through the issuance of customer rate relief bonds financed at a lower cost to customers than traditional utility financing mechanisms.  On the issuance of a financing order, the utility is authorized to issue consumer rate relief bonds to recover expanded net energy costs. The financing order also authorizes the utility to collect consumer rate relief charges from its customers that would be dedicated to repayment of customer rate relief bonds and related costs pursuant to the financing order. The financing order would be irrevocable, as it is the dedicated revenue stream from the consumer rate relief charges, not the financed expanded net energy costs or the credit of the utility, that is pledged to repay the consumer rate relief bonds. In the financing order process, the commission is required to consider, among other things, whether the issuance of consumer rate relief bonds is reasonably expected to achieve the lowest reasonably attainable cost in order to produce cost savings to customers and mitigate rate impacts to customers when compared to traditional financing mechanisms or traditional cost-recovery methods available to the electric utility.","status_desc":"Introduced","status_date":"2012-02-14","last_action":"To Judiciary","last_action_date":"2012-02-14","committee":"Judiciary","chamber":"Senate","url":"https://legiscan.com/WV/bill/SB584/2012","state_link":"http://www.legis.state.wv.us/Bill_Status/Bills_history.cfm?input=584&year=2012&sessiontype=RS&btype=bill","sponsor":"Jeffrey Kessler"},
