HB 4155 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

To include all West Virginia correctional classifications in the Natural Resources Officer Pension System.

HB 4155 expands West Virginia's Natural Resources Police Officer Retirement System to include all correctional classifications within the state's correctional system. This change directly affects correctional officers who were previously excluded from this specific pension system and were instead covered under the Public Employees Retirement System. The bill establishes procedures for these officers to transfer their service credit into the Natural Resources Police retirement system upon hire or rehire, ensuring continuity of benefits. It modifies existing pension rules to allow correctional officers to participate in this system rather than the broader public employee plan, without creating new benefits.
