Bill > SB757

This bill seeks to clarify the sheriff's compensation for the duty of tax collector for the county. It sets the sheriff's commission at a fixed amount of $15,000 annually, which will become a regular part of the sheriff's budgeted and annual compensation, to be paid in accordance with the provisions of §7-7-9 of the West Virginia code. The bill removes the previous sliding scale of commission percentages based on the amount of taxes collected, and instead establishes a flat $15,000 commission for the sheriff's tax collection duties.
