Bill > SB709

This bill repeals specific sections of West Virginia law that previously exempted certain state agencies from standard personnel management procedures. Specifically, the bill eliminates special employment provisions for the Department of Transportation, the Tax Division of the Department of Revenue, and the Bureau for Social Services, which means these agencies will now be subject to the standard personnel rules and hiring practices of the West Virginia Division of Personnel. By removing these exemptions, the bill aims to standardize employment procedures across these state agencies, potentially improving consistency, accountability, and fairness in state government hiring and personnel management. The repealed sections include special merit-based personnel systems and employment procedures that allowed these agencies to have unique hiring and staffing approaches outside the typical state personnel framework.
