Recognizing authority of Supreme Court of Appeals to recall senior judges and justices in specified circumstances

This bill allows West Virginia's Supreme Court of Appeals to temporarily recall retired circuit court judges, family court judges, and Supreme Court justices under specific circumstances, such as a sitting judge's prolonged illness, vacancy, or heavy caseload. It sets daily pay limits ($430 for most judges, $325 for family court judges) and requires that combined pay and retirement benefits in a year not exceed a sitting judge's annual salary, unless the Chief Justice certifies extraordinary circumstances. Retired judges recalled for service may also be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred during their temporary assignments. The bill clarifies the Supreme Court's authority to manage judicial staffing needs while maintaining compliance with federal retirement plan rules.
