Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to allow Tier II members of the Teachers Retirement System to apply accrued annual and sick leave, on the basis of one day’s retirement service credit for each two days of accrued annual and sick leave, toward an increase in his or her retirement benefits with those days constituting additional credited service in computation of the benefits under the Teachers Retirement System.
AI Summary
This bill allows Tier II members of the Teachers Retirement System (TRS), which is a retirement plan for teachers, to use their unused annual and sick leave to increase their retirement benefits. Specifically, for every two days of accrued annual or sick leave, members will receive one day of retirement service credit. This additional credited service will be used to calculate their retirement benefits. This change is being made to section 5-16-13 of the West Virginia Code, which previously prohibited new TRS members joining after July 1, 2015, from using their leave for retirement credit, but this bill overrides that prohibition for those members.
