House Pay Resolution
This bill (HR 2) is a procedural resolution authorizing the appointment and compensation of staff for the West Virginia House of Delegates during the 2026 legislative session. It specifies exact pay rates for approximately 30 House positions, including legislative assistants ($115-$160/day), committee staff ($40,000-$130,200/year), and leadership roles (e.g., Counsel to the Speaker at $130,200/year). The resolution establishes administrative procedures for payroll, employee assignments, and removal by the Speaker, with all costs funded from House appropriations. It directly affects House staff and administrative operations, not public policy.
