State Issues

On March 19, the State Corporation Commission issued a news release and order directing all business with the Commission to be handled through electronic filing systems, email, or by telephone during the current national Covid-19 health emergency. In addition, the Clerk’s Office will not be open to the public for in-person visits (although drop-offs are permitted) but will continue to receive and process documents, pleadings, and filings as required by law and the Commission’s rules. The order advises that the emergency directives will remain in effect until May 15, 2020 unless such date is extended by a Commission’s Order.
