Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to allow accrued annual or sick leave to be used for retirement service credit in the Teachers Retirement System.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the West Virginia Teachers Retirement System to allow Tier 2 teachers, who are a specific group of educators within the system, to use their accumulated annual and sick leave towards earning additional retirement service credit. Previously, this provision was restricted for individuals who became members of the Teachers Retirement System on or after July 1, 2015, but this bill removes that restriction, enabling more teachers to benefit from their unused leave by converting it into credited service for their retirement calculations, though this additional service cannot be used to meet the initial requirements for retirement eligibility.
