The purpose of this bill is to enact a business and occupation tax on the activity of transmitting electricity through certain long distance, extra-high voltage electric transmission lines; to dedicate the proceeds of the tax to relief for electric retail ratepayers, counties containing or crossed by long distance, extra-high voltage electric transmission lines and the West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council; to provide for the distribution of tax proceeds; and to require applicants seeking to construct a high voltage transmission line over four hundred fifty kilovolts to study the feasibility of retensioning, double-circuiting or reconductoring existing transmission lines so as to maximize their transmission capacity without substantially impairing the reliability of the existing system.
