To modify deputy sheriff’s retirement pay and the cost of receiving certain reports

HB 4804 modifies retirement benefits for deputy sheriffs in West Virginia. It increases the retirement benefit calculation from 2.25% to 2.5% of a member’s final average salary for those retiring after July 1, 2018, directly affecting future retirees. The bill also raises benefits for deputy sheriffs who are totally disabled and allows counties to pay higher fees into the Deputy Sheriff Retirement Fund. These changes aim to provide greater financial security for retired deputy sheriffs while adjusting funding mechanisms for the retirement system.
