Relating to Capitol Police Retirement

HB 5508 moves Capitol Police officers in the Division of Protective Services into the West Virginia State Police Retirement System. This bill amends retirement system definitions to include Capitol Police members as "employees" eligible for the State Police Retirement Fund, replacing their current retirement coverage. The key change is transferring Capitol Police officers' retirement benefits from their existing system to the established State Police Retirement System. This affects Capitol Police officers directly by changing their retirement plan administration and benefit calculations under the new system. The bill is currently in the House Finance Committee for review.
