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 sixty-two with eight or more years of service.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia's public retirement system laws to allow sheriffs who are members of the system to retire earlier, specifically upon reaching the age of 62 and having completed at least eight years of actual, contributing service, provided they are not participating in another retirement system administered by the same retirement board. This change is an addition to existing retirement provisions, which generally require members to be at least 60 with five years of service, or, for those who joined after July 1, 2015, to be 62 with 10 years of service.
