Summary

The bill updates West Virginia’s banking code to spell out exactly what out‑of‑state banks must certify when they acquire a WV bank or its branches. It mandates a written promise to obey state consumer‑protection laws, keep deposits insured, and meet state capital standards, and it reinforces limits on how much of the state’s deposits a merged bank can control.
