Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to exempt law-enforcement officers, who are members of a municipal paid police department, county sheriff’s office, or the State Police, from payment of income and personal property taxes.
AI Summary
This bill provides tax exemptions for law enforcement officers employed by municipal police departments, county sheriff's offices, or the State Police. Specifically, the bill modifies two sections of West Virginia tax law to exempt personal property owned by these law enforcement officers from personal property taxation and to exclude their income from state income tax. The changes mean that law enforcement officers in these specified roles will not have to pay taxes on their personal property or their income, effectively providing a financial benefit to these public safety workers. The bill aims to recognize and support law enforcement professionals by offering them these tax advantages. The tax exemptions will apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023, giving immediate effect to the tax relief for qualifying law enforcement officers.
