Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to authorize sheriffs who are members of the public retirement system to retire upon attaining the age of 62 with eight or more years of service.

AI Summary

This bill amends West Virginia code §5-10-20 to create a new retirement option for sheriffs who are members of the public retirement system, allowing them to retire upon reaching age 62 with at least eight years of contributing service specifically as an elected sheriff, provided they are not participating in another retirement system managed by the same board. This change offers a slightly earlier retirement eligibility for sheriffs compared to the general rule for new members who joined the system after July 1, 2015, which requires age 62 with ten years of service.
